Mostly a good show.

Nice spider dude! I can’t believe you are a master piece bro

Been listening to the pod since 2006. The best and most entertaining SpiderMan podcast out there. Sorry Brad, had to leave the hyphen out to get your attention! Viva JR

The review podcast is in a free fall since Beyond began. Seasoned analysts George and JR opted out and in their place is an overcrowded cast that constantly talk over each. The show is a poor shadow of what it used to be. Here’s hoping George and JR come back now tha Beyond has ended.

Hi everyone my name is Joe and I’ve been listening to the podcasts since I was 13. You guys are the reason I got into comics and my love for Spider-Man has grown exponentially since I started listening. One of my best memories is being in the car and listening to George breakdown fight night, specifically when Spidey beat the crap out of the X-Men in secret wars. All in all I just wanna say thank you all for giving me a place to learn, laugh and love this character that never ceases to amaze. P.S. JR, you’re the grandpa I never had.

Fun podcast. I like all the interaction between the hosts. Made me pick up Spider-Man again after many many years.

I’ll start by saying ‘thank you’ to the entire Crawlspace team! This is a great Spider-man podcast. Due to the fact that I drive 2 hours a day for work, I listen to a lot of podcasts. When I searched ‘Spider-man’, the Crawlspace came up. I have been listening everyday since then. This podcast is fun, informative, and passionate about Spidey. Spider-man has always been my favorite hero and I’ve always loved his comics. However, I haven’t been reading comics for 5 or so years now, due to a lull in interest after ASM #700. This podcast has changed that for me. I’m currently doing a complete read through of ASM vol. 1 on Marvel Unlimited and I am trying to catch up on the Nick Spencer run. I love all the segments on the Crawlspace, and all the panelist are great too. George and J.R. crack me up all the time. Thank you Brad and Crawlspace team for this great podcast. I would recommend the Crawlspace to any fan of the Webhead!

A round table discussion of The Amazing Spider-Man done by a group of individuals who truly love the character. Some of them are more nostalgic while others change with the times, but the final result is an enjoyable discussion of the current main Spider-Man title. The Friday Nights Fights are not to be missed as well. When you’re done with all that and want more, there is the bonus patreon episodes to fill in the rest of his Universe. If you are into Spider-Man than you must check out his Crawl Space.

As grade school approaches its twilight, this podcast has essentially saved my sanity. This period of life has been exceptionally stressful but this podcast has returned me to the Spidey fandom with a smile and loads of laughter. Love the whole crew and I look forward to continuing my journey through the "backissues."

This is an amazing podcast with a spectacular crew. If you want fun-filled and honest discussions from intelligent down-to-earth Spider-man fans, look no further than this podcast. Thank you Brad!

I've been listening off and on for about 6 months now and I can say if it's an episode where the host (Brad) interviews a Spider-Man related written/artist/creator then it's a must listen because he's excellent at interviewing and you're in for some good conversations. Regular review issue episodes though? That's not nearly quite as enjoyable. I have several problems with those, mostly related to the episode's production value. There are just too many people on them, shouting and arguing over each other that a lot of time it's just a loud mess not to mention no one can seem to have a consistent internet/mic connection. But the most damaging aspect in my opinion is that they're almost always overtly negative and borderline bullying to Spider-Man creators whose vision of the character didn't line up exactly 100% with the way they enjoyed it as kids. It creates a rather toxic listening environment at times. Also as a side note this is NOT a family friendly podcast as they often curse or make a lot of sexual jokes (looking at you JR). That doesn't bother me, but figured it's worth mentioning in case that sort of thing upsets some people. At the end of the day there's not that many Spider-Man related podcasts so I can't complain too much. Time is money though so for me personally I like to listen to "Amazing Spider-Talk" or "Untold Talks of Spider-Man" first and only give this one a listen if there's time in my week remaining. Unless Brad is interviewing someone of course!

Please!

An all encompassing Spider-Man podcast with panelists passionate about the greatest characer of all time. My own thoughts and feelings are reflected by everyone on the pod and I can't wait to hear it every month. Keep on chuggin' All! It looks like things might be looking up at last!

I really like this show after hearing about it on The Cast for Casters, Blasters & Grandmasters I cane over to listen to you all. Very funny and knowledgeable, the only problem is some guy was eating chips and clicking his mouse during the show and it was very distracting. Other than that keep up the good work Spider-philes.

I heard about this show from another podcast called “The Cast for Casters, Blasters & Grandmasters” that reviewed Dan Slott’s entire run. One of the hosts suggested this show and said he loved it so I gave it a shot and I loved it. Brad and the crew are phenomenally competent and know more about Spider-Man than anyone I’ve ever met, these scholars spin the most accurate and careful reviews of the Spider mythos

Such a joy to listen to, if you need the most knowledgeable people to comment on all things spider I couldn’t think of anyone better.

The crawlspace is a pleasure to listen to every month. From reviews of monthly comics to being transported back in time to relive comics from a past month you are exposed to many facets of the wall crawler. The panel of podcasters are of different ages and backgrounds so you do get a good perspective of the hero. The podcasts sounds like a conversation among passionite friends and it is enjoyable to listen to a pod that does not sound scripted and patched together.

I love the show. The host and panelists are knowledgeable, funny, passionate, and honest.

I’ve written a review about this podcast before, but listening to your recent episode made me have to write another review. People keep saying these guys are negative... To be honest I’ve never listened to a more real group of not only Spider-Man fans, but comic book fans! People seem to listen to one review on a single issue and immediately rage quit and write up a negative review. I’ve been a listener since the superior Spider-Man saga, and I’ve listened to all kinds of reviews. Positive, negative, and everything in between. These guys just tell it how it is, and currently the amazing Spider-Man is a big ol heaping pile of garbage. Below I’ve listed a list of things better than the current amazing Spider-Man title 1. Hot garbage 2. Dumpster fires 3. Drinking bleach 4. Death 5.etc The list goes on folks. But I’d be here all day Anyways I’m just sick and tired of this crew putting out quality content and everybody complaining that y’all are negative. Don’t stop, keep doing what you’re doing, and I will continue to listen to every single episode. Cheers guys! -Tyler from St. Louis.

This is my favorite podcast, makes the drive to work better. So funny , yet very educational and informational on spider-man topics. Love to listen, but how do I know when you will be recording so I can try to watch live on youtube? Been listening for couple years now, sad to hear some leave but Ashley has been a great addition (I’m a fellow female fan of the podcast). Keep up the good work, don’t let the negative reviews bring ya down people just like to complain.

I listen to about one of these shows every two months because I love Spider-Man. The host Brad is awesome, and you can really tell his love for Spider-Man. The others in the panel are very likable and easy to listen to but George. He never has anything positive to say, and is always negative. He brings the rest of the show down, and because of his negativity I power through a show, because it’s the same all the time. I don’t mind negativity, but negativity 95 percent of the time mixed in with his snarky comments, is just hard. It just really brings down the rest of the crew.

I tried listening to this podcast a few years ago and could not stand it.Considering Spider-Man is my all-time favorite character and I listen to a lot of podcasts,I decided to give it another shot..This show really is just a bunch of grown men talking about how they think every Spider-Man comic that's been published in the last 20 plus years is a piece of crap.They will also talk about everyone that writes these comics and how bad they are.Then they will say "This book wasn't worth the 3.99 I payed for it!"If you keep buying something that you feel isn't worth your hard earned money,doesn't that make you a sucker?

I disagree with a lot of the opinions expressed on this podcast, and yet I still listen because the podcast is fun. JR and George have made me laugh so much I've started wearing two pairs of socks before I listen because I know one of those pairs is going to get knocked right off. The pod casters loathe current Spider-Man comics and tear into them like they owe the pod casters money. Even though I think they let the negatives of current Spider-Man comics influence them so much they lose sight of a lot of the positives, I still highly recommend this podcast because it's highly entertaining. Long live the mighty Stegron!

Too negative team. I’m tired of symbiotes too, but Slott made a good call with Peter and Bobbi. I stopped liking Spidey for a long time but he did really well with Spider-Verse. Everyone will always be nostalgic for the old Spidey and the way things were, but the fall of Peter Parker felt really authentic to the character and read renew your vows if you want to stay in the past via a “What If?” Universe. Not sure why you think Peter’s relationship with Bobbi is unhealthy either. This is the first time he’s being accountable for himself and seeing where he failed in his previous relationships. Anyhow Slott will be gone soon and maybe I’ll check back in and see what you think after. As a positive you put a lot of work into this and it shows. I wish you were more passionate about your the character you’ve focused on for so long. It sounds like you’ve got an unhealthy relationship with him. Also as one adult to another, don’t use the “Bye Felicia” meme. It makes my skin crawl when my 9 and 11 year old sons say it.

Hey Crawlspacers! It’s Captain Thwip Thwip! Love the podcast. I am a long time Spider-Man fan and have been regularly listening in. I spend hours a day drawing comics and listening to the panel helps me not only pass the time, but stay current with all things Thwip! Keep up the good work and thank you for all the great Spidey insight. P.S. THWIP!

Note: Brad, when you read the new reviews of the podcast in the next episode or two, just know that I'm using my mother's iTunes account to write this review. I'm 19 years old (yeah, a Spiderling), so head's up on that. :P To get to the point, this is a podcast that I recently started listening to on Episode 459. I can see where the complaints of being "too negative" come from, but seeing how the Spider-Man brand has been tainted for a decade now, with Slott's current run being a disaster, the negativity is justified. Episode 462, despite me disagreeing with the majority of the Crawlspace's opinions on Spidey Homecoming, was another good episode. Special shoutout to JR, who I find the most interesting person to listen to because it's (JR, please don't take offense of this) like listening to a grandfather talk about how Spider-Man effected his life growing up when the character was fairly new. Keep up the solid work. :)

I really do. Some episodes are not as bad as some of the reviews indicate. But then, there are some that are. As a long time reader and collector, I don't always agree with story beats, character developments, or artistic direction either. But too often the Crawlspace is FAR too negative without being constructively critical; offensive for seemingly no other sake than to be so; and for the life of me CANNOT understand how a ten-point grading scale works. As a veteran teacher, Brad is the only one who seems to know how a grading scale works. Brad, you are 100% correct (and yes, that is an A...all the way to 89.5). I really want to like your podcast, but I would also like to still enjoy my favorite character at the end of the hour.

I listen to only a few podcasts and this is one of the best I've come across. The cast is laid back and have a good time bringing reviews, history, and opinions. Humor is a big plus for me and the Crawlspace cast bring the funny in spades. It listens like old friends hanging out, talking Spidey and teasing eachother for their likes and dislikes. I could listen to them talk about anything, they just happen to talk about my favorite superhero. Give it a listen, I'm sure you'll like it.

Brad and the gang provide the best and most honest reviews on everything Spider-man related. They bridge the gap for most people who just can't afford to keep up with rising cost and number of Spidey related books. Driving long hours and going through tough times were made easy for me when phone was loaded with this podcast and I can't thank them enough. I've learned so much over the years from them and have nothing but respect for all the cast members. Whenever they read out loud a negative review of the podcast, I just laugh out loud because there is truly no other podcast out there with the knowledge and humor that delivers the goods on Spider-Man. Keep up the good work guys and gal ...and never change for anyone. You all are my heroes...even the Goblin King JR.

I have been listening to the main review show for a number of years, and look forward to listening to the views of the host and panelist every month. I still listen to the main review even though I've stopped reading amazing, because I no longer enjoy the current take on the characters. However, this has caused me to explore additional show topics, such as Friday night fights and spider-history, which I enjoy just as much. At times I hear other reviewers complain they are too negative, but I see them just telling it to me straight. Often I feel other review sites sugarcoat things to stay in the "big 2s" good graces. Other reviews say that the panelists only like story's pre-90s. This is not true. For example in JR's Spider-History he defended the notorious Sins Past with his superior spider-history knowledge, and Zack is often found defending the Clone Saga. While I don't always agree with all the panelist (George get out of Texas and you will see how wonderfully functional hoodies are) I respect their views and opinions. Would love to buy this group a beer and talk Spidey with one day.

Tired of going to other podcasts that don't truly focus on Spider-Man? Look no further, this is the podcast for you! Brad and company deliver the goods! What may be misinterpreted as "negative attitude" it's actually PASSION AND LOVE for the character and supporting characters in the Spidey-Verse They know, love, review, fight for, and embrace all things that are Spider-Man! They honestly know what's good and bad. Spider-History, Fight Night, Reviews, and the News Segments are all truth and facts about all things Spidey followed by the entertainment these crawlspacer provide. They explain how the "behind the scenes" of the Spidey-Offices at Marvel REALLY work. They read between the lines and get you what you really need to hear. I started late in the game, but my commute to and from work I have plenty of Spidey loving entertainment to make traffic seem enjoyable. These guys are fun-loving just like Spider-Man! Here is to many more episodes!!

I've been a long time fan of the wall crawler. I'm not sure what took me so long to discover this podcast. I've been slowly catching up on the plethora of episodes and have been enjoying every minute of it. The entire cast is terrific and know their Spider history. Keep up the good work!

With a little ... "Crawlspace Podcast" These guy are passionate about the characters of the Spidey Universe ... and they express that with views unapologetically ... If the current title is Great or not up to snuff , they grade accordingly. They also might dig up an older tale from Spidey's past and be just as hard on it. In the the end the panel may not agree about where Spidey has been , but they can't help but look to the future and do it with fervor!

This is BY FAR the best Spider-Man based podcast I have found on the internet to date. This is not for the faint of heart. This is not for the sissy spider-fans that eat up everything Marvel puts out. Come here if you want honest feedback, based on history and a deep knowledge of the character. The host, along with the panel, know the ins and outs of the true Peter Parker. They know how he should be written and they take a direct approach to assessing the pros and cons of the new material. I have been listening for +200 episodes, and I agree with much of what the cast says. They love the character and want to see him succeed and be read by a wider audience, but not at the cost of crappy, off-base writing. The panel offers constructed, detailed criticism to every aspect of the books, and while some see their neutral/negative reviews as misguided, I see it simply as the speaking the truth. Just because the books sell decently doesn't mean they couldn't be written better for the character. I prefer an intelligent, witty, Peter Parker, and for the last few years he hasn't existed. So, I will keep listening as long as they keep posting. If you are on the fence about listening, give it a few weeks. You will find that even if you don't agree with what they say, their knowledge is undeniable and their perspective WILL make you look at the media in a new light. Thanks for everything!

A lot of reviewers here complain about the hosts putting down Spiderman comics, how terrible they've become, etc., and they're right to complain. It's painful listening to people who are essentially saying "this sucked," "this writer has ruined Spiderman" and "It's terrible! Terrible!" - along with excessive cursing - over and over again. However, the point those reviewers miss is, the hosts keep reading Spiderman. They read him despite the state of his books because they love the character that much. Is it something I want to hear over and over? Not usually. Too many people on the show? Most definitely. But they also cover all the Spider-books. Some of the "reporters" are well articulated, and some realize that in the end comic books are just for fun. Not to be taken in large doses, Crawlspace is still a great place to hear amateur scholars discuss their favorite mythic hero.

The problem with reviewing the "Spider-Man Crawlspace Podcast" is that it isn't really just one podcast; it is several. The host has made a decision (wisely, I think) to break the 'cast into several smaller ones. What at one point were segments of a large podcast are now individual files. So what you get from the feed may be the news segment; the review segment, the general discussion segment, a segment on Spider-History, or even the annual game of Spider-Jepordy. You may like some of these segments, or all oof them, or just one of them. But you won't have to fast-forward past something you don't care for. If it's the segment you don't like (I enjoy all of them), just move on to the next file. This way of doing things is especially well thought-out. Some of the reviews on iTunes express problems with the host and the panel being to critical of the Spidey books. It is true that they are critical. Very critical. Very, very, very critical. The new listener needs to understand that the panel is a group of fans who have been following Pider-Man for a decade or more. In some cases, closer to 40 years. They have seen what can be done with Spidey, and the great stories that can be told. And they have seen times when Spidey has become little more than a crap-fest cash cow, used mainly to promote licensing. (Which is what the books are now, in 2016, and have been for about 8 years, with VERY few bright spots interspersed.) So they have very little patience with crap-fest periods in the books, and are not afraid to say so. At least they try to have a sense of humor about it, and they keep the torch burni g, in hope of better days to come. This is supposed to be a review of the podcast rather than a review about the books the podcast covers, so I'm trying to focus on that. But one has to consider the current state of the books, and the often wonderful history of them, in order to understand the disappointment and frustration you will hear on the 'cast. If you are able to do that, this podcast can be very enjoyable, and a great resource for coming to really know Spidey (and Marvel) in their very long history. The panel tends to be very critical of the current creative team controlling Spidey, to the point where the current writer, Dan Slott, has engaged in some very public hissy fits about them. But in fairness, when Slott has produced good work, they have been very supportive of him, and complimented his work. I learned about his Spidey-Torch miniseries from the podcast, and they simply raved about it, to the point where many who were on the show back then expressed hope that Slott would get a shot at writing the main title. They are not "anti-Slott," or "anti-[insert writer here]," but they *are* very much "anti-crap-style-writing-and-plotting," and are not afraid to say so. (And given the 2008-2016 state of the books, they end up saying that. A . . . LOT. I can't blame them.) The host, B.D., is personable, and fun to listen to. You can hear a smile in his voice, which is a plus. The panel members can be a mixed bag. The newest (and only female), Ashley, sometimes seems a bit bemused by the proceedinga. The male members seem to consider it "points scored" if they can make her laugh so much she snorts. And they are pretty good at doing that. The Cranky Old Man character does the Spider-History segment. The host tried recasting that voice a fews months back, but it does not seem to have worked out. Whoever does that voice is pretty knowledgeable about the history of Spidey, but also pretty jaded and snarky. (I got thrown under the bus by that character when I first wrote into the show, and didn't much care for him ever since, but I have to say that whoever writes for that particular character generally knows his or her stuff. If you can put up with the stereotypical thinking written into the character, he can be fun to listen to. I'd rather they retcon that out of him, but that's just me.) Overall, it's definitely worth a listen! There are over 400 episodes in the feed now, and the Spider-History ones in particular should hold up over time. The review episodes as well, I think. If you don't care for this style of podcast, don't listen. But if you find something in it you like, stick around, I feel safe in saying you'll find a bunch more. (And please, don't forget . . . you may find it via iTunes, but Apple is NOT paying their bills for hosting and bandwidth for your downloads. The show is "free," but that does not mean that it isn't costing the host some money, for net access, computer equipment, microphones, etc. If you like the show, be a sport, and throw them a few bucks from time-to-time. It is STILL a lot cheaper than most audiobooks, and a heckuva lot more fun!)

Long time listener here and I absolutely love these guys. I love seeing a new episode pop up when I start my morning commute. Everyone is extremely knowledgable on all things spidey. The only thing that makes my ears bleed is JR constantly saying "So anyway"! :)

Beg for money, bash the current product because doesn't fit their standards, fart joke, cringeworthy internet references, finish up with more complaining. If you don't like the current product, stop reading it. It's choice, so much negativity.

Funny, not afraid to tackle the politics of the comics, and they know their stuff. The only people that would say that the podcast is too negative are those who would only enjoy a podcast that says their poop don't stink. Would love to hear more history podcasts on the era post clone saga up to and including the first story line of JMSs run

I was looking for another cool podcast to listen to and decided to go with a spiderman one and stumbled across this one. I love it!!! They share my some of my views and opinions. Despite some of the negative reviews I find them huge fans of the spider corner. I've had a love hate relationship with ol Pete and it's nice to get caught up with stories I haven't read in the crawl space. The most fun I've had in the spider corner over the last few years was Remenders Venom ongoing. I loved it. I also got into Scarltet Spider with Kaine Parker. Keep up the awesome job and looking forward to future episodes.

As a collector of Spider-Man since the 1970's, I have had the pleasure and displeasure of living through many of the greatest story arcs. Unless you have lived through those eras or have extensively studied them, you cannot understand where this group of diverse individuals is coming from. If you want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly, then this is your one-stop shop. Yes, I will be the first to admit they are harsh on the current state of Spider-Affairs, but it is honest review backed by evidence. The recent addition of young Ashley has been a welcome change, though I for one am not totally convinced she is not simply an alter-ego of George since they never talk at the same time! The continual foulness that is JR can grate on you, but there is no denying his knowledge of all things arachnid or his genuine love and respect for his fellow panel members. All in all, your host, Douglas, has put together a podcast of opinions that range wide and far and reminds me of sitting around with my friends, discussing the fandom we all love. If you want to hear fanboy gushing, subscribe to CBR-TV on YouTube; if you want a million reasons why Stegron should have been the main villain in Secret Wars, listen to this!

I've been listening to this podcast since the very beginning of the Superior arc, and I must say out all the postcasts I'm subscribed to (8) this is easily my favorite. The cast is great and well rounded. As for the negativity, the only time I felt that was an issue was when George said he hated Spider-man and the X-men because I really liked it. But then I realized it's all a matter of opinion. So what if some people don't like what you like, it's a spider-man podcast, not the ego trip cast. Anyway I just want to say that the cast is awesome and they should keep up the great work. Haters gonna hate.

Who knew reactionaries could be so insightful and entertaining about Spider-Man? These boys and gal keep it 100 about the books, and while some of the panel are "glass half empty" types, they explain their positions remarkably well and have consistent viewpoints. Brad keeps the show moving along like the pro he is and finds ways to include everyone in the conversation. George is a tightly-wound bundle of rage and frustration that lashes out with righteous indignation...hilariously. JR is the voice of hopelessness inside us all, reminding us all of the long-departed times when the world presented possibilities...hilariously. He needs to do his goblin voice more. Ashley is the voice of the target demographic. Then there's the guy who had a kid - congrats to him. In conclusion, DITKO NEWWWWWWWSSSSS!!!

I've been listening to this podcast for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I love it so much that I sometimes make my girlfriend listen to it with me on the way to work or school (thanks for sticking with me). The panelist and host are very knowledgable and I enjoy listening to them talk about everything Spider-Man related. Some people accuse this group of being too negative but in my opinion thats just because this group refuses to call a crap gold. This podcast has helped me stay postive about Spider-Man even through though the current books have been so poor. Between the Spider-History and Friday Night Fights segements I have been able to find back issues with stories that I find enjoyable and the reviews and news segments keep me up to date with everything Spider-related.

Been wanting to get into Spider-Man more and more through the years but never could afford to get comics due to family situations. Looking to get all the information I wanted about the comics and our favorite wall crawler I gave this podcast a listen at the beginning of this summer. Fell in love and listened to every single one of the podcast and finally have caught up. And yes I have started collecting now too. Thank you for helping my love for spidey grow and I look forward to listening for a long time. Keep it up brad you're corny but so am I, JR go to bed I'm sure it's past 6... And the rest of the group keep up the good work. 8 thumbs up!

I want to keep this review short and sweet. The host have a great knowledge of Spider-man history, but the amount of juvenile negativity really prevents any truly meaningful critical discussion to take place. I really enjoyed the Friday Night Fights, but the review podcast pretty much killed it for me. Thanks for your effort, but I'll keep moving.

I've been an off and on listener of this show for years. Sadly much like the Spider-Man comic has suffered, so to has this show. The once solid panel of reviewers is not present anymore (must have been a house cleaning) and the newer crew (with "I'm not as funny as I think I am" George and "tolken I don't know anyone but got this job because I'm a girl" girl) are not as good as the previous group. Oh well nothing lasts forever, and it's OK for long vacations or a break from the tired old Q&A that we get over and over. Used to be 4-stars but past year is definte 1-star material.

If you're looking for a podcast that covers all things Spidey-related, from his past history to current stories, interviews, and just Spidey tidbits in general, this is the podcast for you! Granted, to some it's the podcast "that no one demanded (LOL)", but it is one we all need and deserve, and rightfully so. From the Webmaster Brad to the Web-slingin' cowboy George, and our Mad-Goblin JR, you'll find something here to enjoy, whether it be all the episodes or just a select few. Now I know some people out there think that the panelists are negative, but the fact of the matter is, given how certain writers/editors are treating our beloved wall-crawler in the books as of late, should we Spidey-fans accept the mediocre stories as gold just because the MARVEL brass say we should? I don't think so, and I'm glad the panelists ae being as hones as can be, while giving good stroing reasons for why they feel the way they do about certain stories. So keep up the good work guys, hope to hear more podcasts yet! PS: See if you guys can get an interview with Christopher Daniel Barnes from the 90s cartoon at some point.

If you love being negative, You're over 40, and laugh uncontrollably at your own jokes then this is the podcast for you.

Strange story how I discovered this podcast. You see I woke up only to discover I was on an island equipped only with an iPhone and a plastic knife to defend myself. After gathering supplies I stumbled upon a hole full of wifi that I discovered while gardening crops. Remembering my love of the fictional character "spider-man" or as the British call him "Arachnid-Gentleman" I went in search of a source for the character. I came upon the podcast and was delightfully surprised at how much the panel knew about the character. Listening to George Swoon over Roger Stern was like water for me when I could not find any and JR's spider-history makes the stings of my wounds from battling the islands native giant robots with lightsaber chain saw rocket arms. The panels reviews on the book are largely mixed which is good because no one likes a round table with a bunch of people saying the same thing. Even when there's good issues the group brings up problems a causal fan might not think of. I plan on swimming back to society soon only with the goal to strip Slott from the book kicking and screaming so I shall listen to you guys as I journey out to sea! Ps. I have personally met fans of silk to which when told why I didn't like the character I was told "oh you don't like her cus she makes spider-man look bad" Cus God forbid spider-man looks good in a spider-man book. Thanks for dealing with my silly!
