This was a really good series. At least the first few arcs. I read most of these when they came out. Ennis really surprised me here, I thought that he would disrespect the character and treat him as a joke . But I remember really liking it .
This was a good , underrated series .
I remember MTV had their own version of a CGI animated Spiderman show.
yup, typically called "Spider-Man: The New Animated Series"
The Flowers For Rhino storyline is so so so good and as a sworn Rhino fan, it was so great seeing writers that really, actualy know Aleksei Sytsevich's history and character. Seriously one of the 2 absolutely incredible Rhino stories.
Is the other one the Oksana stories, by Joe Kelly?
@@mthsdcs yep
It was ok. Stella felt so 1 dimensional as a character, and her overall actions are not something that a NORMAL person would do. Her relationship with rhino after he became smart, and his overall rise to power felt so.... fanfiction like??
The first issue REALLY puts u in the feels, I'll give u that, but my feelings soured after the second part.
I once bought a Spider-man character encyclopedia and for some unknown reason Rhino was the ONLY character that wasn't in it! I later bought a Marvel character encyclopedia that had everyone including Rhino but I still don't understand how the first one forgot to include him.
@@charlesbennett7484 Know the one you're talking about!! And that;s exactky why Rhino needs character driven and personal stories written by people who know him just like the 2 I mentioned every so often!
Was surprised by Ennis' entries into this comic. I genuinely really liked his characterization of Peter Parker.
I agree! I found that really surprising in retrospect, having since read The Boys and some of his Punisher stories. Goes to show that a good writer can access different aspects of themselves and not just write in their own voice every time.
@@ParkNarcz Would also recommend issue 34 of his series "Hitman" for DC. It is a very surprisingly heartfelt love letter to Superman that manages to be devoid of cynicism.
I will absolutely check that out! Thank you for the recommendation!
@@ParkNarcz I wouldn't put Ennis in the category of "good writer," Cassotta and Alonzo gave him good material to work with.
I still want that Aunt May movie
Dude! I think that was just a rumor but that was the funniest idea!
Garth Ennis respects Spider-Man more than Marvel does nowadays if you exclude Ultimate Spider-Man comics
It's a terrible idea but since they're going all in I want a chameleon movie.
It should be a detective mystery akin to The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde and he would use both an artificial skin mask that he made using the genetic structure of the venom symbiote and real time deep fake technology using Mysterio's tech.
By and large one of my favorite Spidey series as well, lots of gems here and I wish more lessons could be taken from its successes. Even just more Spidey comics like it that focus on unique perspectives with unique creators. Those two holiday themed issues with Darwyn Cooke I'm always going back to
Flowers for Rhino is one of my all-time favourite stories. It wouldbbe a perfect feature film but Sony playing
That one would be fun to watch for sure!
Great video! Ennis' stint at Marvel is full of a lot of little gems like this.
Thank you!
Collected/read every single of issue of this series, and I’ve been singing its praises for years! Thank you for finally shedding some light on it
Thank you for watching! Glad to see I'm not the only TW fan out there!
Who was the reveal, in the bar issue, with Vulture?
Norman Osborn.
I always thought Hemingway wrote quite a few of "baby's first Hemingway"
you've sold me on tracking these down.
I just read them all after watching your video. Great job, and thank you so much for avoiding spoilers.
Thank you! That was exactly the outcome I was hoping for! I was very deliberate with that because I want people to read it!
thanks for the recommendation I'll be looking for this series soon!
Nice!
i miss comics like these. Each telling great contained stories.
How is it that tomb stone is invulnerable in every place except his groin?
Yeah this comic deserves more attention
It really does!
Excellent video. I’d heard of this series but never read it. I’ll definitely give it a shot after your brilliant breakdown.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Shame it hasn't aged well but Heartbreaker was my uncle (Daniel Way)'s first comic for marvel! The parts that have aged poorly likely were due to ignorrance or unintentional on his part, he's a good dude just came from a... let's say outdated upbringing XD
I actually still have a copy of this comic signed by him!
I think it can be argued that the dated material may have been an attempt to comment on these things, it's just kinda hard to read for some modern fans, I think. I'm a fan of all sorts of art that other people would find offensive, so I certainly didn't mean to admonish your uncle for his work, and I think that's awesome!
@ParkNarcz oh I'm sure he's gotten much worse XD I'm sure he'd appreciate the generous words for some his earliest works XD
Just found your channel. Good stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you! You rock!
Tangled Web was lucky it survived those first three issues. The Thousand was just bad.
A valid opinion! Sometimes something isn't selling because it just isn't working. I enjoyed the story, but I totally understand why someone wouldn't.
I admit that I think I just don’t like Garth Ennis. But the villain narrator aside, it felt out of place with the rest of the book, and I wasn’t a huge fan of how it just inserted this character who never showed up before that was somehow the worst bully Peter ever came up against and was incredibly formative in his youth or whatever. Flash was Peter’s bully. There never was a Carl.
Have you seen the Sopranos? I imagine this to have a tone similar to that... damn James Gandolfini would have made a great Kingpin!
Yes! One of my favorite shows.Totally agree on Gandolfini playing Kingpin!
Lore of Spider-Man's Tangled Web Is Underrated momentum 100
Damn just tell all the stories
Double Shots was my fave!
I collected the whole series along Peter Parker: Spider Man. Both were underrated for different reasons.
Totally agree! I also collected Peter Parker: Spider-man!
@@ParkNarcz Fusion to this day is one of my favorite villains. Can't even explain why. He had interesting powers and his motivations and shortcomings stuck with me
Dude, you read my mind! I may do a video on that story!
imma check it out!
Nice!
Thanks! I was too young to know what this was while it was in print; sounds like LOTDK for Spider-Man?
Thanks for watching! Kinda but I believe Batman is a larger focus in LOTDK than Spiderman in TW but they may be somewhat comparable. I'll have to check that series out!
Just sell the rights already 😭
Garth Ennis is one of my comic book writers i will read tangled web btw Can you make a video about the boys or watchmen ?
The Boys is complicated because of how many things I would want to say but Watchmen is a bit more doable in the short term. I will do that for one of my next videos! Thank you!
I avoided this series because Ennis is cancer to comic books, but I might give it a chance after this video (but I'm still skipping some issues).
Better than The Boys
I think he only wrote the first 3 so you could always skip to #4, Severance Package!
I hate Garth
😂the comics ar nearly 30 years old and you don't want to spoil the ending? For who???
I don't make videos just for people who have seen the things I'm talking about. Also, I don't believe in the whole time = okay to spoil crap. I saw Citizen Kane when I was 12 but it was still about 60 years after it came out.
Great comic series before the wokeness plaque destroyed the industry
Ouch
