Zeb Wells Continues to RUIN Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man #52 Review 

The cover art of this issue feels like an insult to the fans, showing the iconic issue 300th issue pose with the garbage spider goblin and instead of saying 300 in the background it’s just hahahahahahha which feels like Zeb Wells is laughing that he’s still not over with ruining Spider-Man.

I literally just realized that this is Zeb Wells attempt at making the Spider-man who Laughs.

So apparently Joe Kelly is taking over from spider-man. He’s not a bad writer (but he’s not good with spider man outside the rage of rhino he’s the guy who did the MJ is a sister bit) but he and Wells are part of the Brand New Day era of writers so that mean me he’ll be on the whim of the editorial again. They really should barred BND writers from spidey imo

The last time Spider-man comics were good was in 2006, which was 18 years ago. We really need a reboot.

It's sad that Norman went from battling the Avengers and winning the secret invasion event, to being worried about Kamala...

Bottom of the Wells has reached a new Lowe

What sucks is I love the beginning with Norman trying to fit back into society and struggling and trying to help peter out of guilt for hurting him so much by giving him things like his new suit but everything else sucks instead of focusing on the best parts it focuses on the worst and it sucks for it I love Norman in the beginning and it's sad to see him wasted

Your reaction to Rek Rap being in the book again is exactly what I felt lol other creators seemed to gloss over it with sarcasm. I wanted someone to deliver pure frustration and rage and u delivered lol

Haven't read a Spider-Man issue since "One More Day" and haven't missed it....

thank god this trainwreck is coming to a end but unfortunately we have joe Kelly is going to be taking over the book after this, which could be a good thing in theory because he's a good writer as well, however given marvel's track record as of late i have a bad feeling editorial is going to the one making joe Kelly write there stories instead of there own at least in my opinion.

He will leave us with his greatest gift...Paul is not going away... Plus Joe Kelly is taking over asm. Future looks grimm.

That You Rek-Rap for proving that Jar-Jar Binks is no longer the worst idea in Geek Fandom!

Since 4th of July is coming up, how about reviewing a great Captain America comic? I think the Tales of Suspense issue where Cap and Red Skull fight with the Cosmic Cube.

Okay, so we have: -All the clone Spiders, like Ben Riley & Cain. -The Spiders that come from alternate universes, like Miles And Spider-Gwen. -The various legacy Spider-Women. -Silk -Spider-Boy -ect. Now we have completely random characters taking on the Spider mantle like Nightcrawler & Green Goblin! Can we please have a rule in place where there are only 1 or 2 active spider-people per continuity?

God, I pray for the next writer to try and fix all of this. The only way is to have this all be a dream or have it be an allusion by Mysterio

So what are your thoughts on Joe Kelly possibly being the next writer of the amazing spider man series stash?

At this point, I can see three possible ways that Marvel could salvage their brand and comics. Option 1: Do a complete overhaul of all titles and focus more on the story and pull back on the gimmicks and pandering. Find what works in the current runs and stick with that. Option 2: Pull a DC crisis and reboot the entire universe. Wipe the slate clean and bring everyone back to square one. It'll be messy, and it'll leaves every character up for tampering and alterings, but these writers have retconned so many things that it's the only merciful thing to do. Option 3: Split the timeline. Release a new brand of books that's an alternate timeline set after One More Day, where Spider Man didnt accept the deal with Mephisto. Bring all the characters back to that point in time, to before they were all butchered. This will undo all the terrible retcons, erase all terrible plots and allow the characters a chance to have better stories with a new writing team. They can still keep the current runs but rename this universe Earth 717 or 626 or something similar. This way, Marvel can keep pandering to "Modern Audiences" while the rest of us can enjoy stories that appeal to us, with characters who are given the respect they deserve.

I hope new writer makes all this a coma induced nightmare.

Spider-man who goblins?!

Another great critical review. It can't be said enough how terrible this run has been. Joe Kelly is taking over "ASM". I'm not impressed or optimistic. He's the writer who wrote Pete to say MJ is like a sister to him. Plus as other commenters have rightfully pointed out, Kelly was one of the "OMD/BND" writers with Dan Slott. Who knows what more irreparable damage Kelly will do to "ASM"? However, as a SpiderCat fan, if he decides to have Peter and Felicia get back together and marry, be the power couple they should be, have kids, and finally Peter becomes a successful scientist, even using Oscorp. continuing the Zeb Wells arc that Norman Osborn is signing over his industries to Peter, I'm all for it. I think that was a lost opportunity when Peter got back his body from Doc Ock after the "Superior Spider-man" storyline. Peter should have become successful back then. Not in the same way as Tony Stark, but a lesser successful version. Isn't it about time Peter can pay his rent? I've accepted Peter and MJ will never get back together in "ASM", that's why we have "USM". It's 17 years now since the marriage was dissolved, and too much time has passed. Almost a generation hasn't seen them together except for a short time during the Nick Spencer run. I think that "ship has sailed", and it's time to move on to a new love interest for Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I'd be open to having Mockingbird come back, Spider-Gwen from the multiverse, or a new character who is a superhero to be with Spidey. However, definitely not Ms. Marvel. I hope Hickman keeps "USM" going in the right direction and doesn't leave "USM" too soon. Kelly won't put MJ back with Peter, and who will Kelly have as Peter's next love interest? Too many unknowns to think anything good is going to come in "ASM" in the next run/volume. Keep up the great work. I appreciate how you're trying to be creative in your videos. Cheers.

Ive never wanted a fictional character outside of Griffith to die so badly as I have with Paul/Zeb Wells' self insert.

You gotta be kidding! REK RAP?! WHY?! WHAT THE FUCK IS ZEB WELLS AND MARVEL IS DOING?!

Mary Jane has been too damaged by this run, just bring Gwen back alive and make him date her instead I’m done with all this drama

Well, at least there's the light at the end of the tunnel where we know that Zeb Wells' run will finally end in just a few months on September 11th. It's really bizarre and awkward that it's happening on the anniversary of 9/11 but I'm pretty sure (and I hope) that was unintentional. 1:13 I prefer Twitter not X because we all know how terrible Elon Musk is at naming things, just look at his kids' names. 4:14 Admittedly in the original symbiote storyline (in the comics) it didn't affect Peter Parker's personality (it just really wanted to stay with him forever, and it's more accurate to say Peter corrupted the symbiote), and that aspect (and several other aspects common in Spider-Man adaptations like Green Goblin split personality, Dr. Connors being Peter’s school teacher/mentor, Otto Octavius being Peter’s mentor, Eddie Brock being a rival coworker, Eddie Brock taking incriminating pictures of Spider-Man, John Jameson bringing the symbiote to Earth, Dr. Connors being the person who discovers that the symbiote is alive, The Vulture having a vendetta against Norman Osborn (or just being wronged by someone very wealthy), Norman Osborn being in league with the Kingpin (or the show’s Kingpin equivalent), Spider-Man teaming up with alternate universe versions of himself) originated from the 90s series, and making a symbiote storyline that's an adaptation of the comics and not the 90s series would be extremely subversive. 6:41 To quote Morpheus “What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

I love the intro. Can’t wait to see what you do next for your videos. As much as I hate Zeb’s run, I’m gonna miss you shit talking him 😂

Zeb Wells on Deadpool and Wolverine? Yeah, no wonder Vanessa has a new bf lol, he loves this stuff

guess you could say that zeb wells has hit a new lowe

The only good thing I can say is the art is good the one thing zeb and editorials can’t mess with

I just wanted to add one more comment about the Joe Kelly rumor about his future tenure as the "ASM" writer. My main concern is every new writer will take "ASM" in a new direction. No commitment to continuity. What "ASM" needs is a writer who's committed to writing "AsM" for 5 years or at least 3 years. This way there is a direction for the comic. In the old days, writers came and went in the comic, but the storyline was similar between the writers. Today, writers retcon the previous writer's storyline and take the book into a completely new storyline. This was the case when Zeb Wells retconned everything Nick Spencer did in the previous volume. Is this the future of "ASM"? Will Joe Kelly retcon the Zeb Wells storyline? Kelly will establish a new storyline for 18 months, and then the next writer retcons Kelly's storyline. The new writer starts Peter Parker in another storyline for a couple of years only to be retconned again when the next writer comes on board to write "ASM". This isn't a good business strategy from the Editorial Staff at Marvel. However, they've been a bunch of buffoons since "OMD/BND", and that includes writer Joe Kelly. What a disaster this is. I know Dok likes Joe Kelly, but as a writer for "ASM", he;'s abysmal. Now under his tenure on "ASM", the comic is going to be funny. Isn't it funny in a bad way already? Jeez! What a joke! I'm done following this garbage. Why get invested in this comic when you know whatever storyline runs for 1 year to two is only going to be retconned by a new writer who BTW will reboot the comic with a new volume and a new # 1 issue. WHHHOOOOPPPEEE!!!

Peter and Ben not talking after that? Yeah figured as much

Wait, you didn't like Insomniac's Spider-Man 2? I mean sure, the bits after Venom felt a bit rushed, but I still enjoyed the story all the same. Eh well, agree to disagree, I guess. Once again, great video. And I once again wish that all of Zeb Wells' pillows remain warm on both sides for all eternity. A-thank you.

Joe Quasada personally ruined Spider-Man - and by extention, the entire 616 universe - back in 2007. Everyone knows how (and why).

Hey MN have you read the Spider-Man manga called Spider-Man Fake Red ?

Agreed, Can you uncensor the swears please? just wondering.

4:25 "God Spider-Man 2 SUCKED" That it did...that it did😔. So bad you're just compelling to write it

Hey MNStash, I hope all is well this week. I keep forgetting to review the "Spider-Man Unlimited (SU") comic. Spoiler alert. This comic is supposed to be in the same continuity as "ASM". I reviewed up to issue # 42. Issue # 43 was released last week on 6/25, but isn't on any website yet. In this comic, I think the overall storyline in SU is trash like "ASM". Even though I like the new character Linda Locke/Webhead for Peter Parker/Spider-Man, they had to make her non-binary because she didn't want a name expressing her gender, and I know Marvel won't put these two together in that book. They always find a way to ruin Peter Parker's personal life. I'd like to see Spidey with The Black Cat since I'm a SpiderCat fan, but this new character, Mockingbird, or even Firestar would make a great girlfriend for Peter. It's time to move on from MJ, as Zeb Wells has ruined MJ and Peter's relationship, and I don't think Joe Kelly will bring them back together when he takes over "ASM". I'm open to Peter having a superheroine girlfriend who also compliments him. This new character could work if done correctly. Have you read this comic? We might have touched upon this book months ago, but it might have only been in passing. It isn't easy to keep up with these alternate Spider-Man comics because you'd think the book might have been canceled. "SU" is made by Infinity Comics. Let me know your thoughts. Looking forward to the next great review. Cheers.

just found out that zeb also wrote deadpool and wolverine movie are we screwed?

Where the hell do you get that mask, Looks fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s ok @mnstash just think about ultimate spider man and Paul can’t hurt you

We cooked with the new guy too

I am so happy I stopped reading Spider-Man in 2020

Zeb wells isn’t a bad writer he’s pretty good with X-men characters but his Spider-Man run is dogshit.

Your undying hatred for Zeb Wells and declining mental state makes you insanely funny 😂 I can also tell it took a lot in you to do the intro.

Hey MNStash. Rumors circulating, that Joe Kelly is going to be an 18-month temporary assignment writing "ASM" until the writer who Marvel wants to write "AsM" becomes available. Then Marvel will reboot "ASM", probably with a new volume #1 issue. Yikes! Unfortunately, the foreseeable future is looking very bleak to me. There's no long-term commitment to continuity or anything positive for that matter. The comic is destined for mediocrity or worse. It's a shame. I won't even follow the comic by then, Who cares to follow such garbage for the next few years at least. I hope "USM" stays the course, so I have something to look forward to reading. Cheers.

Every Masterpiece: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x5IDR3_Hjxw.html Has it's cheap copy: Whatever the fuck Zeb's doin'.

Im glad zeb wells is leaving

dont worry man, we're nearly through, Joe Kelly won't be "great" but I'm sure if he were in a coma he could write better than this.

Don't let this make you forget that Marvel started THIS run...for Peter's 60th Anniversary...let. that...SINK. IN.😭

Just a few more issues until Joe Kelly takes over. But I doubt Joe will be any better.

This is exactly why I don't buy Spider Man comics anymore because of this man Zeb welles bro I can't fucking wait for evreything to go back to canon and I hope to god that the next writer has more knowledge and love for spider man to give us a proper continuation of spideys story because I bet you even I can make a better spider man run than this steaming pile of dogshit bro in my story arch i would've made spider Man depressed and goth like and have him rock the black suit for the entire run and I can confidently say that it would be so much better than Zeb wells run marvel should hire me because i have so much more love for spideys character and history than Zeb welles lol

Who drew this issue?

Well, a new announcement from Marvel. Joe Kelly will be taking over "ASM" in the fall, and his 1st story arc is going to be 8 Deaths of Spider-Man a 10-issue Arc. The other writer will be Justina Ireland who wrote the "Blood Hunt" event/arc and wrote the Star Wars Books relating to the High Republic. Also, the book will have Ed McGuinness and Gleb Melnikov. Ireland is another DEI hire, woke, SJW, who talks about misogyny and racism and is another talentless hack. Her blood hunt event is awful. This is being done because there hasn't been as much hype regarding Joe Kelly taking over "ASM" Why would there be, he's one of the buffoons who wrote "BND" back in 2007. Why would I get excited about Kelly taking over the writing? This sounds like a disaster to me. A writer who wrote "Star Wars High Republic" books no one bought or wanted to read. As some of the other commenters have already pointed out on other RU-vid channels, this is a "Trojan Horse" where Kelly is just putting his name on the comic and Justina Ireland is going to the actual writer. Jeez! What a joke! It's like what Steven Spielberg does these days. Puts his name as the Executive Producer in the opening credits, but had minimal input in the movie. Of course, this 10-issue arc probably won't have any of Peter Parker's personal life or love interest in this arc. I'm glad you review these comics in your videos so I don't have to read them. I wouldn't waste my money on this garbage. Spider-Man isn't Star Wars, but who knows there could be a crossover with "The Acolyte" and Spider-Man in one of these upcoming issues. WWWHHHOOOPPPEEE!! TBH, I always wanted Spider-Man to meet Luke Skywalker, but I guess we'll get Rey Skywalker instead. Can't wait. It's increasingly harder and harder to keep from checking out on "ASM". Moving forward, I'll only comment after watching your future videos. It's just these announcements are terrible and wanted to get your opinion on these announcements. Looking forward to your next video.

Can i have your mask

Kamala is actually pretty cool. In her own books when she's written properly!

so what I've gotten from this video: Zeb Wells. 1. has an obsession with his OC of Peter Parker. 2. enjoys breaking up relationships to a fetishistic level. 3. Zeb Wells is a shit writer.
