The words "Piven vehicle" do not tempt, no.

With all due respect, as bad and as godawfully long as the Clone Saga was, I think it's wretchedness pales in comparison to Sins Past, where it was revealed that Gwen Stacy gave birth to Norman Osborn's date rape babies, who aged to adulthood super-fast and were then sent to kill Spider-Man.

I seriously doubt that's the case. More likely that this was never intended to be a permanent change, and the intention all along was to go with this new status quo for a year or so before everything gets set back to square one in time for the next movie.

I hated Gosling in the trailer, because every line he delivers is in the same, doesn't-give-a-shit tone and inflection. Each time it sounded like he was reading from a cue card.

Nail on the head. There's an image in the first volume (someone opens a container to find their friend, stretched into a spiral and stuffed inside) that caused me to actually throw the book to the floor in horror.

It…did. Wow. Such low expectations, but this was actually a hell of a lot of fun, and looked great to boot. I don't know if it would have ultimately found an audience, and I imagine budget concerns probably didn't help, but I'm actually bummed that this will almost certainly not get a series pickup, and I wasn't…
