Picked up my copy today.
« on: June 29, 2006, 12:35:57 AM »
I may not get to read it for a while, but I saw it in my local walden books today and picked up the paperback.

Will y'all read it because you are a Spider-man fan, read it because it was written by Mr. Butcher, or skip it?

I'll read it because Jim wrote it. I'm not much of a fan of any comic-book-based character, but I love Jim's writing so much I'll make an exception here.

Well this seems to be a perfect place for my question then. I was telling a friend yesterday day in a conversation about Spiderman 3 the film that I am about to read this book. He said are you mad you should  at least read some of the earlier Spiderman first. So can I just get away with only reading Jim's book ?

You can absolutely get away with reading just Jim's book.  He refers to a lot of stuff that's happened in the past, but he does it in such a way that even someone like me who's never read any of the comics didn't get lost.

Plus, it has all Jim's snarky goodness.  I definitely recommend it.

I love the spider man movies but I'm not really a comic book person.
