My opinion on the new costume? What costume?! The damn thing is practically solid black, and its not even black fabric -- it's this strange inky material with the amazing property of obscuring most of Spidey's features (muscles, contours, nose(!)) and thus enabling the artist(?) to draw the hero in an average time of three seconds. It severely limits the range of bodily and facial expression that can be given to him. I agree with Scotty's point about the "magic" properties. A hero like Spider- Man has no business dealing with "mystic" and "cosmic" forces. Let's keep the fella down in the "real world" where he belongs! I also seriously wonder how long this costume will actually be around. As a long-time, and generally disillusioned Marvel fan, I can't count the number of times an issue has promised, nay, screamed out on the cover: "This issue things REALLY CHANGE!!!" But in 12 issues or so, it's all back to normal again. Do you really think it will be different for TSW? -- "Out of the void, into your mind..." from: Walter Scott Yale University ...decvax!yale-comix!scott
