7->''Anyway'', with [[CriticsAndReviewers the site]], I deal with pros and publishers, and, y'know, basically ''partner up, help out'', ''push'' certain things. I mean, it's like you practically work for them ''already''! And [[FanConvention this show]] could be a ''big'' break -- a guy who owes me a favor at {{Creator/DC|Comics}} is gonna introduce me around, [[HireTheCritic maybe even get me into the DC party]]. Not bad, huh?\
8'''(Jerry and Pete agree.)'''\
9No, not bad. I just have to keep workin' it... eat a few more years of ''shit'' until, one day, ''Shazam!'' There I am in the ''big'' sandbox, full of all the ''best'' fuckin' toys ever.

Mon-El.--] Then, I start all over again -- only from ''within'', like a conquering ''virus'', until I'm in a position to establish my ''so-called "shitty" fan-fic as canon''. '''That'll show 'em. All of 'em! And the butthurt little fanshits that don't like it can go bag, board, and skull-fuck themselves!'''

12->''I especially don’t consider anything either does with any of the echidna characters – especially Locke – to be canon as neither created the characters nor established them in stories as the viable fan favorites they’ve become. No matter what Creator/{{Ian|Flynn}} writes, he can never alter the fact that in MY universe, the events of Locke’s passing as depicted in SONIC #143 is canon. Anything he writes can easily be counter-written by a better story with an alternative solution.''

20->I think this book is written almost entirely from an angle of criticizing modern Spider-Man comics that came before it. [...] And like I said, I think the most interesting part about this book happens to be the not-so-subtle differences between [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2018 Spencer's Peter Parker]] and [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott Slott's Peter Parker]], which is kind of what the whole first arc is about. Despite the two of them aligning pretty much the same politically and being friends behind the scenes, I can't help but notice how much of the subtext of this book seems to be taking potshots at Slott's writing over the years. Nick Spencer's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' book deconstructs and heavily criticizes Dan Slott's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' book. Given Slott's less-than-stellar relationship with the fans, that does a lot to get long-time Spidey readers back into the book. It's essentially saying that the weird direction the book has been going for ten years is over, and that Spencer is going to bring back a more traditional version of Peter Parker that's closer to what we had before...[[ComicBook/OneMoreDay blegh]].

23->During a [[FreakLabAccident random sci-fi accident]], [[LiteralSplitPersonality Peter and Spidey become two different guys]], divying up their personality traits equally among the two of them. [...] That's when I figured Spencer was going for something a little unconventional. He split Peter Parker into two halves-- the character we all know and love who [[ComesGreatResponsibility just wants to be responsible]], and a [[PoesLaw not-so-exaggerated caricature]] of modern Spider-Man. I was wracking my brain over it for days, but I figured it out. This is that obnoxious, selfish douchebag that we've been reading for the past ten years. [...] Spencer takes every negative and annoying trope from the other run and turns it into a character that fully expresses what was so wrong with the book for ten years. In fact, he takes this version of Spidey and turns him into an antagonist for Peter. Peter doesn't beat him by just being smarter, in fact he takes advantage of Slott-Spidey's negligence and defeats him in a really simple way even an idiot could've pulled off. Peter ultimately triumphs because responsibility is the most powerful trait between the two of them. Even though the other guy has the brains, the jokes, and all the powers, he wasn't really Spider-Man, because Spider-Man is about doing the right thing even when it puts you in a world of hurt, not doing the wrong thing to avoid being hurt.

26->[=TL;DR:=] Western Comic Books are like a giant house that is never going to get finished because it is constantly being rebuilt and redesigned by a successive and never-ending stream of madmen, each of whom have a deep seated, fundamental, seething hatred of their predecessor's own, specific brand of madness.
