Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows

It's no secret, I'm a huge Spidey fan but byass aside (if that's possible) the mini series Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows was simply fantastic!  There is a ton to say about how well Dan Slott and Adam Kubert nailed the essence of Peter Parker through the art and writing in this story but instead of doing that I'm just going to say go read it and share some of my favorite panels. 

I know what you're thinking and yes I wish Stan Lee officiated my wedding too!

This was such a powerful panel for me. How wonderfully wicked to have the book open up on Batman and Robin drugged and tied into a rotting car in an abandoned drive in watching as a montage of their enemies killing innocents plays, bringing into question Batman's vow not to kill. This is a classic controversy endlessly argued among geeks in corners of comic book stores and cons for years and Peter Tomasi knocks it out of the park in this arch using the process of Bruce teaching Damian the value and purpose of that vow to drive the story line. If you haven't read this run yet go do now.

Seriously go. NOW!

This first issue of Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows #1 was nothing less than amazing!  This one panel represents the very thing that drives this story line and Adam Kubert just nails Venom and Spidey.

Stand out spread in this issue.  Great collaboration of many artists!

Re-imagining Superhero Body Types

Check out the article on CBR - Robot 6

My Thoughts:

Okay here is the problem with this. Yes the boobs are ridiculous there is no arguing that but these are SUPER HEROES people! They work out and beat up bad guys for a living! Just imagine if you were kicking ass 24/7 you would have a physically fit chiseled body equipped with washboard abs, big biceps and super cut legs. You want unrealistic I point you towards a kinda chubby Power Girl and Wonder Woman. Any normal human being (which neither of these woman are they're Kryptonian & Amazonian but I wont go there) with the activity level clearly shown in these comics would be an animal with nearly perfect physic! So yes the boobs are too big and some waists may be too small but these depictions I call BS on.

Kinda irritated by this,
