The dialogue is too Ult. Spider-man/Valley girl esque.
Seems very forced too That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! The dialogue is the bland and cliched, as far as modern comics go. I mean, Bendis has absolutely raped the modern comic dialogue motif by introducing this dry, run-on nonsense that he pretends is reminiscent of real life "speaking". It makes me cringe to see other writers pick up this horrid fad of his...

Okay, yeah, the dialogue was the one thing that bothered me a bit too. As Pro pointed out, it's too "Bendish." On the other hand, a lot of people seem to like that kind of stuff so I wasn't sure if that was what Halo was referring to.
As far as JMS goes, I think he raises some very valid points. On the other hand, the guy that gave us Spider Totems, Peter eating someone's head and Gwen's rapidly aging bastard children (not to mention, I think, Aunt May in Iron Man armor) really has no right to bitch about wildly illogical plots in Spiderman books.

Spider-man but ever since he's started writing both Avengrs books(which downright sucks) I can't stand it anymore. To the point I had to drop Ult Spider-man.

He probably gets paid by the word. And, G-Man, who exactly are all of these people that like Bendis' dialogue style?

I haven't read One More Day because I'm really not reading anything right now comic book wise. I refuse to pay $2.99 to read the shit that they've been foisting upon the public lately (and did they really charge an extra buck an issue just so you can read some reprinted story in the same book?). I knew that the unmasking wouldn't last despite what Donquefucker said. I knew he was trying to break-up the Peter/MJ marriage. I never realized that he'd do it in such a stupid and hackneyed way. He makes the superhero who's mantra for over forty years has been 'With great power comes great responsibility' make a pact with Satan?!  And the reason is to keep Aunt May, who should have died at least fifteen years ago, stay alive with him giving up his extremely supportive and loving wife? You have to be seven shades of stupid to believe that any of that either makes sense of fits the characters at all. Why does Peter want Aunt May still around? So she can break her hip struggling to make it up the stairs? Or is it so that she can fall victim to another rampaging attack by one of his enemies? Nothing like a brittle boned old woman being snapped in half by the metallic grip of Doc Ock. Joe, as Daredevil: Father proved, you can't write. Nor are you what people would refer to as an 'idea man' in the comic business. You drew some pretty pictures in your day and got the 'Stan Lee luck' by getting the Marvel EIC position. That's it. If you really wanted Spidey's marriage to be over with that badly, you should have just gone to JMS or, better yet, Peter David or Mark Millar or any of the people on your payroll who actually have writing talent and asked them to make the story for you. As much as I've seen and heard people say that they'll never by such and such a comic over the years for whatever reason, I've never heard it so often and loudly as I have since this thing hit the shelves. Hopefully, they'll all stick to it and give Marvel no other choice but to remove your fat, donkey molesting ass out of the EIC chair.

Where'd you get that?  I walked into my comic shop today, and the employees were all cracking up at how hilariously bad this thing was. The key phrase that I heard being bantered around was "It's magic!" Oh well. I never cared that much about Spider-Man anyway. Now, I certainly have no love whatsoever...

G-Man, who exactly are all of these people that like Bendis' dialogue style? I don't know. But they keep buying his damn books and heaping praise on him in places like "Wizard." Understand, I'm not defending Bendis dialogue on any level. In fact, I'm not a fan of Bendis. I think the first arc of "Powers" was good but quickly because stale. I think Ultimate Spidey is okay, but I don't need to buy what are basically "reimaginings" of stories that I read already. Beyond that, I think he's a poor writer. However I seem to be in the minority on that and, therefore, wasn't sure if Halo was criticizing the dialogue or something else about Slott's story.

Well, they may buy his books, but like the Wizard stuff, I think that's all part of the corporate 'Hype Machine'. Send in enough fake emails, skew enough sale numbers through Diamond, chat up enough people with rumors and bullshit, and you can make anyone a "star". I've never talked to anyone who actually thinks he's a genuinely good writer...

I think I should re-write Spideys origin.
...what do you mean, I already did?

What do you mean "Their origin was fine as it was"?

I heard recently that Ghost Rider was actually an angel. Really? Jesus, that's stupid. Who's idea was that? Joey Q again? From Wikipedia In July 2006, a new ongoing monthly series, titled simply Ghost Rider, began. Written by Daniel Way with art by Mark Texeira, it takes place after the Ennis miniseries. It features Blaze still in Hell, desperately trying to escape. At the end of the first issue, he is manipulated into bringing Satan to Earth. This particular incarnation of Ghost Rider features Blaze as the human host. Blaze's Ghost Rider appearance is similar to Daniel Ketch's, a change that assistant editor Michael O'Connor attributes to the manifestation of Ghost Rider's powers themselves. In a later issue it is found out that Ghost Rider is an angel and that is why the Devil counld not keep him in hell
