It's been on my mind a lot with this series too. It's just really not an ideal format anymore. Quick checkin with our hero, very slight chapter aaaand see you in five weeks. Hard to keep excitement and momentum going.

Netflix’s binging model has completely rotted people’s brains. Compared to how late major books were in the early 2000s Ultimate Spider-Man is coming out at a break-neck pace. It took I’m fairly certain more than a year for the Donner/Johns/Kubert five issue Action Comics run to start and finish but I’d take that any day over the awful fill-in art like what you saw in Morrison’s New X-Men.

The problem is modern writers decompressing too much for a monthly release schedule so that the 6-10 issue arcs fit a trade release.

Monthly comics need to be paced in a way that you get a full story, beginning middle and end, each month and some B-plot running throughout to tie them together.

There needs to be a balance between a simpler, house style and a cool, dynamic look. Comic art has become too detailed for it's own good. Older comics have a nice style but the action can be a bit low energy compared to manga, even from the same era.

Everything just seems to be an end of the world event

More frequent issues is one of the key reasons why ASM has been shit for 16 years. Ever see the correlation between decline of writing quality and increase of issue frequency? Books that go more than monthly just end up devolving into shit, every single time.

the whole dinner thing felt so awkward it was actually amazing.
