Maybe he didn't have a choice in that matter or perhaps it was his plan all along. I called JMS a bastard regularly through the run of B5 for twists and turns that I didn't like but which, sometimes moments later, turned out to be the absolutely perfect path.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard about the B5 scripts. 14 volumes at $40 a volume! Ugh. I wish I had that kind of money sitting around. I always wondered about how B5 would have gone if things had gone the way he first envisioned.Der Geishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615005013929233901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861673.post-74278160708108577012007-03-11T16:10:00.000-04:002007-03-11T16:10:00.000-04:00I'll have to go back and check, but I don't rememb...I'll have to go back and check, but I don't remember Straczynski taking his name off Amazing Spider-Man. The bit where Peter reveals his identity, and then when he goes back on TV and reveals what he knows about the Negative Zone prison sounded like pure Straczynski.<BR/><BR/>BTW: I'm currently reading volume 10 of Straczynski's Babylon 5 scripts. Things are going to hell, and that's just in his description of what's happening as the fourth and final season of Babylon 5 is being produced! Of course, Doug Netter did tootsie-fruitsi someone, a wonderful bit in its own right.Rob Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406341000633606756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861673.post-41637072698936877592007-03-11T09:33:00.000-04:002007-03-11T09:33:00.000-04:00Red Skull?

I would expect that Marvel would make the Skull the villain but, if my theory of the Punisher taking the shot is true then, if it were me, I'd be setting up Tony Stark to take the fall. He's been an ass through all this and I would like to see him get what he's got coming to him.<BR/><BR/>And, I looked at the cover of Spider-Man 538 and, sure enough, there is Straczynski's name. I was just about to have it removed from my subscription list but now that he's back, maybe he can repair the damage done by Peter Parker revealing himself as Spider-Man. Part of the foundation of Spider-Man was that Peter was just a regular guy trying to work his way through regular life as well as that of being a superhero. Now that he's a superhero all the time, he's much less interesting.<BR/><BR/>That's why I've added Spider-Man loves Mary Jane to my subscription list. If you didn't already know that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, you could go through most of the comic and not figure it out.Der Geishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615005013929233901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861673.post-75902417498086970962007-03-10T23:50:00.000-05:002007-03-10T23:50:00.000-05:00The Red Skull hired the Punisher?Civil War: The In...The Red Skull hired the Punisher?<BR/><BR/>Civil War: The Initiative Issue 1<BR/><BR/>Cap isn't dead?<BR/><BR/>Ibid.<BR/><BR/>Straczynski is still writing Spider-Man as of ASM 538.Rob Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406341000633606756noreply@blogger.com
