Well it's not like the first movie was that great to begin with. Reverend Meteor (I don't buy DC comics but their movies and cartoons are usually way better)

Posted On Today at 11:10:35 am EDT by Richard L [Reply] [Quote] [New] There is a lot to be said about having the responsibility to look after your own family, and recognising that running around in a Spider-Man costume pissing off psychopaths is a BAAAAAAD idea. If baby May had been allowed to survive in the comicbook Peter would be long gone. The story of how Reilly managed to live and find Janine again could be inspirational for Kaine in so many ways and perhaps help Kaine re-evaluate his own sins, his strengths, what he can, what he wants out of life? The whole Kaine degenerating again and Reilly being a bad guy, a fake, or taking on the Scarlet Spider id again at present idea is... the pits.

I don't want Kaine to become a 'bad guy' again or have clone degeneration again in order to achieve it. Quote: I've been enjoying Kaine as the Scarlet Spider and although I enjoy the darkness in his character I don't want a sad end here. I'm happy with Ben being revealed as alive and not embracing the responsibility at all, having a family and NEVER wearing the webs again. That sort of counterpoint might show Kaine he has more of a sense of responsibility than he realises. I like that idea better than Ben coming back as a hero. Let Ben reunite with Janine and live happily ever after with their baby Reilly. I don't need him to be a hero...just be alive. He didn't deserve to be horribly murdered. He was a good man.

There are days my teeth grind when I see some of the stupid decisions made by DC and Marvel that sell. It explains how Bendis' garbage sells out. Quote:Anyway, I've read some of those issues and I'm left indifferent. I think Brubaker could have easily created a new character rather than: Quote:1) Have Bucky miraculously survive the rocket blowing up. Quote:2) Bucky just happening to be in the vicinity of a Soviet vessel. Quote:3) Said Soviets managing to save his life. Quote:4) Soviets decide to brainwash him and keep him on ice for decades, thawing him out to act as an assassin. Oh, and they give him a bionic arm. Quote:The only super hero I think who has a dumber origin than this is Rob Leifeld's Cable. I don't want Bucky around either but an origin replete with coincidences is hardly a deal breaker. Granted Cable is the worst character ever created but I'm sure if we put our heads together we could come up with 10 characters whose origins were dumber than Bucky's. The only reason I dislike having Bucky alive is that it takes a win away from Baron Zemo. Helmut could always say well at my dad killed Bucky. Now Heinrich has effectively done nothing special in terms of super villainy. Oh how it rankles. I love the Zemos.

Well, Brubaker being a good (or at least a popular and award-winning) writer does not necessarily mean that the idea to bring back Bucky or the way he did it was good. Or that he could not have written stories that are fully as good or better using a different character (maybe an original one, since New grim and gritty Bucky does not bear that much relation character-wise to the Golden and Silver Age Bucky). Even Homer and Shakespeare had their weak moments. And I certainly don't feel bound by Eisner or other awards. Grant Morrison's run on the X-Men also was commercially successful and won critical accolades, but I consider it an abomination and a disaster for the X-franchise.

Does anyone has a link or a website on how to write for comics and sell the scripts. I want to do that as freelance writer and also how can I get in contact with Joe Quesada?
