Reading through this thread I realized something:  I truly don't care anymore.

I haven't bought a Spider-Man comic since "Sins Past" ended just about three years ago (yes, it's been that long).

Reading through this thread I find I have no emotion about the reboot at all.  I won't be picking up any Marvel comics because of this and therefor nothing has changed for me.  Marvel comics killed Spider-Man for me 3+ years ago.  I really don't think there's anything they could do that would bring me back short of a total regime change, total continuity reset and a return of comic creators that mostly haven't worked there in years.

Just seen the spoiler here

http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/Spider-Man/BND/ASM-547-pa ge-1-color.jpg

It (the whole no marriage here reboot)all makes sense now it would appear that Peter is gay and has a thing for JJJ

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

I do have to stop moaning for a second here as I do think that finally they have an oppertunity here to write some good old fashioned Spider-Man stories and as long as you can forgive the way in which things were reset and all of the past sins (feeding spikes, unmasking etc.) then it may work out.

What will be unforgivable would be late books. I think that taking ASM as frequent as they have now (3 times a month I believe) and changing the creative teams should put a stop to this. But then this is the modern comic book industry...

Joe, you're not the only one who had that idea of ASM 547's first page - I've already seen several photoshopped versions of it suggesting the same.

I'm hoping Mephisto turns out to have been a Skrull and this whole debacle
has been nothing but a bad dream sequence. Oh well - there's still the
Cosmic Cube to fix this all up.

Wasn't it revealed that the Shaper of Worlds is an embryonic Skrull Cosmic
Cube?

On the subject of Cosmic Cubes wasn't the Beyonder and the Molocule Man two halves of an embryonic Cube. And then they weren't anymore. And now the Beyonder is a mutant Inhuman with implications that the whole of Secret Wars 2 didn't happen (I could have read that bit into the Illuminati story out of pure wishful thinking).

It's the other way around.  The Skrull Cosmic Cube was the egg the Shaper developed in and hatched from.

How many Cosmic Cubes are there in the current-day Marvel Universe? And who has them?

Wasn't the Skrull's Cube destroyed during Brubaker's run?
