i think the Internet plays a part, amplification and ease of other 'sins' surrounding the industry -- but i think it's a bit cheap to displace the blaming of Wizard, of Bad Retailers, of Editors and company suits, of Ego-driven Pros, and of Anti-Fans - on a tool that also provides the current best method of Advocacy of comics as well.

No the overall plot isn't everything. You know whatever happens to
SpiderMan it's always Osborne's fault. A good writer can write any
piece of crap and it will still be interesting to read. Anyway, what is
there to ruin. Most books are so predictable, you can see the
conclusion come a mile away.

Avoid all spoilers for six months and see if you feel
the same way.

Wasn't the ending to Alpha Flight #12 spoiled at a comic convention by another comic professional? Perhaps if one wants completely avoid spoilers, he/she should not commingle with other fans and professionals, either in the real or virtual world.

I am glad I was only 12 and had no idea it was coming. I still can't believe you did it!

As far as spoiling comics go, catalogues from Mile High and other such companies kind of did that before the Internet did.

Yes you can try to avoid spoilers and you can try to stay away from things like Wizard or Previews, but the net is a whole lot pervasive than that. When you were younger, did you ever know when a project was late? Really? I never did. Did you ever know that your favorite artist was going to be taking over a book until the month (or two before?) I never did. Likewise, did you know that your favorite artist wasn't going to be on a book until maybe the month (or two) before? I never did. These are things that the net has spoiled.
I would have never stuck around for Roger Stern on Superman if I would have already planned my exit when JB did. Thats a way in which the net has ruined comics.

To this day, he maintains he was. "I was doing my
job!" -- as PR flak for Marvel.
Someday, I hope some asshole does the same to
him.
