Eight months in, and "Brand New Day" is still a source of complaints AND a running joke ...

Oh, and next months' sales figures will dip below 70K.

How Quesada thought this wouldn't turn into the next Clone Saga is beyond me.

The cover that inspired JQ.

Funny and tragic at the same time, it's fragic!

â€œI used to have that comic when I was 16, and I have no memory of itâ€™s contents.â€

"Itâ€™s working!"

Sadly, I wasn't even trying to go for that joke. And I really forgot that Puma and Sabertooth weren't the same character. I guess I was reading comics with both of them at the same time.

This is a real sore spot for me, as I'm probably the Puma's biggest fan. I think he's one of Marvel's coolest and most under-developed characters. But now most of his contributions to Spider-Man's storyworld have either become wiped away, or have certainly entered murky territory, since they all hinge around his friendship with Peter.

Oh, to be eleven years old again and looking at Ross Andru's Mary Jane.

I remember the bit where Puma sets Peter up with a lab and chemicals to try and make his webbing, only Peter ends up making a highly acidic batch because the chemicals aren't the right ones. Apparently, no one can reverse-synthesize the webbing. And Peter managed to destroy the MacGuffin in the process...

As said I owned that comic!! But I cant remember a thing about it except a one panel where Pete carried MJ across the thresold by leaping Spidey style over a balcony.

It would be cool to see a "Emerald Twilight" style review of that again.

PS At the time I was completely in love with MJ!!

But poor Peter doesn't fit in with all the rich people MJ knows. Poor-oh, poor-oh Petey-oh. And he has to fight robots so that's probably why "the Honeymoon" has quotes.

And the only reason I remember that at all is because I just recently reread it when it was staring at me from the top of a box of comics.

I enjoyed Puma's role in MODOK's 11 quite a bit. Huzzah for Fred Van Lente!

Puma sure was an interesting character for a few years, there.

The speed with which he became so generic was blinding.

I used to have that comic when I was 16, and I have no memory of it's contents. Is that villain "Hairy Tooth Man" or something?

And offered Peter a job, to boot. I guess he figured a bigger place would strain their wallets.

At least it explains why "honeymoon" is in quotations.
