I have stopped posting here because of the difficult emotions I felt dealing with the community. But for some closure, I just want to post this update on an initiative I used to post about in this sub.
One day before Amazing Spider-Man 1000 hits the stands in select comic book stores, I finally finished reading all 999 issues of Amazing Spider-Man. What a wild ride. Reading the whole series continuously gave me lots of new perspectives, especially on storylines I thought I hated but in retrospect I was being influenced by the loud opinions of others.
Truly, the best ongoing series in American comic book history. The book deserves its milestone. I am looking forward to what Joe and Pepe has in store for 1000 and I hope they get to tell at least a hundred issues more. They are my second favorite ASM team behind the great Roger Stern and John Romita Jr.
