if tomorrow morning you were told it was a misprint and geoff johns wrote the same story, would you then dub the spider buggy as "fan wank"?
The problem with that is it's not possible that Geoff Johns wrote that. For example, when they unveiled the Spider-Buggy, it was NOT followed by a page-and-a-half of the characters "casually" talking about how "kewl" the Spider-Buggy is, and how regal the "classic-ness" of the Buggy is...with the Buggy looking off into the horizon, a gleam of insisted-awesome in the headlights...
Geoff Johns isn't a good enough storyteller to
make you feel emotions. He has to
tell you what emotions you should be feeling.
