But seriously though why this colossal brain fart? One moment he's bored, next moment he's been working on this potion for 2 years, and then he drinks it without any tests.

'cause you gotta sell comics

Wasn't it Connors's potion?

No Peter made it himself.
Man Ray Thomas' writing style is fucking jarring and his Peter doesn't stop making references I'm too old to understand. I don't care that he created Wolverine, when does Stan Lee come back?

He doesn't. He's dead.

Briefly after a few months, but the good news is Gerry Conway follows him.

No one in comics stays dead for long.

Endgame might retcon his dying again.

Roy's not a very good writer, bless his soul.

In the last four years I think my assessment of Roy Thomas is similar to Fiffe's: tcj.com/overword-2-·-all-star-squadron/

Endgame will retcon Stan Lee dying?

Yes.

He clearly hasn't read any of the real good shit from the Golden Age, especially since most of it was in the papers.

Yeah, I think that's the flaw to his article. But hell, he's got enough time to discover it. At least he appreciates Ditko's work in general more than the average comic fan.

>One has to step back and look at the whole and absorb it as that very same whole: the captions, the balloons, the bodies, the editorial notes, the titles, the backgrounds, the colors, the ads, the newsprint... you read it all at once. That is the experience. That's Roy Thomas trying to replicate the feeling of sheer information being wonderfully jammed into our young brains.
Yeah ok, but what if my brain isn't that young and I'm not on acid? What then?

>Posted today
Fiffe, why are you shilling on Yea Forums?

How exactly was he supposed to test that potion? Not a lot of spider people running around as medical volunteers

>In trying to make sense of the nonsensical, Thomas taps into the way we used to read and absorb information as a species, pre-television, (for me, pre-Internet) when details were doled out slowly. Primary colors galore, ridiculous stories, the momentum of a backyard saga enacted by kids playing dress-up... this is how this comic performs. Like a person telling you a dream: it’s only as interesting in relation to how much you like the person telling it. I like these characters, I like this dream.
Wtf this just contradicts everything.
Look why not just admit that the man can't write? I've read my old timey books and seen my old timey movies, no-one did this "informative" storytelling except some of the worse episodes of Star Trek TOS and bad sci-fi movies.

No, it's pretty straightforward: Roy writes with vigor and absolutely no restraint or deftness, trying to just say as much as he possibly can and connect the dots.

He's still a bad writer, but you have to respect his passion and his role in the industry.

I'll respect his role in the industry but if I'm reading Spider-man I really don't want to see pages like this. It makes me remember that I should be getting my own harem instead of playing 20 questions with the narrator.
At least the art is great.

kek

Don't be a cunt, Gil had his strengths.

At least Roy's Daredevil was better than Stan's. But then again, the majority of Daredevil runs are better than Stan's.

What's wrong with this page?

RT is great on Conan, pure shit elsewhere.
Wait until you get to the King Kong pastiche, OP. He had like 8 issues and he used them for six-arms not Kong.

>Hero is an idiot who drinks untested potion and mutates into a monstrous version of self

This also happened to Beast, in the same time period. Was someone at Marvel trying to make this a thing?

Ditko and Kirby and Stan and Steranko were all fucking gone and the second stringers took over for awhile.
