Got you!
And you're right, I did.
Thanks for the answer. Let me also thank you for taking your time with
your fans. You get so many snarky SOB's that I would completely
understand it if you said 'The hell with this...' but you haven't for
years.
You'll get a few extra bucks out of me as a consequence!

ANyway, despite the fact that this was spoiled for me, this is not hte big thing for Spider-man.
Evolve or Die is the tagline-so I see him going through some type of transformation. Whatever that may be. We know it involves Tony Stark and new costume

Here's a link to the new Spider-Man costume:(Click to see, whited-out for spoilers) http://www.puppetartists.com/fantasy/small%20pirate.jpg(END SPOILERS). Apparently, JMS got the idea from a random episode of Angel.

There was an episode of Fear Factor where contestants had to eat Spider-Man's eyeballs. The winner was to be immortalized in a Spidey comic. It all makes sense now.

You mean 1/10 the sales that Spider-Man used to do for decades? 1/10
the sales the Avengers did for decades? Or the sales with which
Daredevil would've been cancelled in any other decade?
********************************************************** **************************
No, I believe he's believing to sales that better than the sales of any
current Batman book without the words Frank Miller and/ or Jim Lee in
the credits box.

<<He's called the Shaper of Worlds. >>
And, if memory serves me correctly, the idea was pitched a few years back.

...I believe he's believing to sales that better than the sales of any current Batman book...***** I wonder when Batman became the scale of reference for DC sales? I'm sure you all know the character has swung close to cancelation a few times -- tottering on the brink, even, in the early 60s, before the TV show artificially bumped the sales for a while. The only frame of reference for the sales of a book should be. . . the sales of that book. Relative, of course, to the sales of all other books. So we look at the Spider-Man sales today and ask how they compare to Spider-Man sales 10 years ago. Or 20. Or 30. When stacked against other books (not just one) on sale at the same time. This sword cuts both ways, of course. One of the reasons Bill Jemas gave for the cancelation of HIDDEN YEARS was that it was the "worst selling X-Book ever". This is true. Of course, it could also be phrased as "lowest" or "least" selling, and when compared to the other titles, it could be shown that it was selling the same as FANTASTIC FOUR sold relative to UNCANNY X-MEN in the 1980s -- and no one was talking about canceling the FF! No matter how we slice it, tho, ^^*****'s sales suck. Virtually all the books are below what would have been cancelation level when I started in the Biz. Same for DC. And when the editor's puff out their chests because a book has sold more than 100,000 --- frankly I want to go crawl in a hole and pull it in after me!
