Yeah I'm still reading, but my 2nd cousin runs the comic shop i go to, he says that from the 31 pulls he had last month it's went up to 45 this month but belives just because of the New Ways to Die and will go back down.That is exactly what happened. I now believe we will see the numbers combined lower then the previous world with three titles.

| Spidey is getting worst and worst, the storylines are so bad it doesn't even feel like a spider-man comic. It just feels so generic, I pretty much rather read anything than Spidey and it's been the title I always read right away since '94 (even with the bad storylines). This is just another level of bad. And what was the point of the hole Flash Thomson issue? Didn't he get in a car accident and that's why he can no longer walk or something like that...? I just can't remember... How can they revamp the accident?

| big 80's and 90's fan but ultimate was it for me after issue #50 just lost interest. He's more of a drama heroe now in the 80's it was bring on the bad guys and barely win the fight. Maybe one day he will get back into the grove with me maybe he needs to team up with wolverine again thoses where the days. If you havn't read any of these from the nighty's get them they are great pricey but great. JJ as far as sales dropping I think over all his fan base is getting younger and more driven by the movies not the comic.

I collected the odd run of ASM here and there. I collected the whole run of Spidey titles when he got the alien black costume (mostly good stuff). The next long run I had was most of the David Michelinie run. David M's run was great! Next I read most of the Clown Saga which was truly Godawful. I think I read a few issues after that but once they brought back Norman Osbourne it completely jumped the shark for me and ever since then I haven't been able to get through a single issue or even half an issue. It lost something back in the Clown Saga days and it hasn't ever regained it.
I know several other folks that gave up on it then too. One collector had collected it since AF 15! Many other titles tanked at that time for me and it took until this new century for me to start getting back into Marvel.

pfft!

| Just for yucks, I went to the Marvel website Spidey forum. Apparently, Amazing has fallen in readership by over 40% this year and now the total of the three weekly amazing issues are under the combined total of the three titles prior. When you add in the 1:10 variants that have been everywhere to drive up sales, you can clearly see this has been a fairly epic disaster. Does Marvel care-no, but you have to wonder how much more they can take before they make another change. A new number one perhaps? Remember, we called it here first.

| Keep in mind that the Obama Spidey is going to probably end up being the best selling single issue in years. THat'll probably keep them in their land of dreams for a while. Here's the December sales info. Its dropped below 70,000 per issue which is pretty poor for the land mark title. New Avengers sells like 95k by comparison. 19,21,27. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

6 mnth ( -2.7%)
1 year (-46.6%)
2 year ( — )
3 year (-13.1%)
4 year (-16.8%)
5 year (-23.8%) Issues #579 and #581 both have villain variants. But issue #580 doesn’t, so it’s the best indicator of the real audience size: roughly 63K. And that’s not great considering that in November, the non-variant issues sold over 66K. AMAZING is an odd book, in that its sales tend to bounce up for highly promoted storylines even when they’re not crossovers or any other sort of events. Nonetheless, strip out the variants and it looks like the book is still shedding readers after a year of the new format. The January chart will be a different story, of course, featuring as it does Barack Obama in pulse-pounding conversation with the wall-crawler. Still, you can understand the reservations of retailers who were told they had to up their orders considerably in order to receive the variant covers.

| Still, you can understand the reservations of retailers who were told they had to up their orders considerably in order to receive the variant covers Like I said my 2nd cousin runs the LCS where I live and he flat out said there was no way he would up his order to get a Obama Var. in the store. Well, lets just say he sold out very very quickly, matter of fact the 4th printing that just came out, is already selling out at the store. When I left store yesterday there were a meer 3 issues left. He's already put in for the 5th printing. The obama sotry was very lack luster as a story goes,but guess the historical aspect boost the value of comic, I hvae the first printing regular cover and I've seen it go for $40-$45 on Amazon. The stories are just getting worse and worse, the characters assasination is growing tiring for me and it's only in the 2nd issue of story line.
