Dan Slott’s plots only work when one character is promoted to Mary Sue God Mode and everyone else is reduced to an Epsilon Minus sub-moron.

But as Kyle Garret so amusingly and astutely noted upthread, it all falls apart if the Avengers acknowledge that every one of them has suffered similar villainous identity thefts.

But that would be expecting characters written by Dan Slott to respond intelligently to circumstances they’ve faced before.

I never thought anyone could beat Mark Millar for letting idiot plots trump characterization, but this is Slott’s forte.

So first Amazing Spider-Man is cancelled to present a crappy 60′s DC fill in issue ofsuper villain mind swapping, but presented over a year’s time. Now we get Good Cop/Bad Cop version of FIRESTORM???

C’mon, Marvel. Increasing the house ads to more than half the book would be more entertaining than this.

How is Slott’s lengthy story line different from having Spider-Man go temporarily insane for a while, caused by anything you want to conjecture? The end result is the same as the conclusion that you posit: Spider-Man is unstable and can’t be trusted. Temporary insanity would do that in just a few issues, though.

Illusion of change as a policy makes any story line ultimately pointless if the objective is to keep the status quo or return to another trivially different one.

damn, what a brilliant thought process. I’m sure it’s not as cut and dry as that, but I’m sure when Pete’s back I’m sure Marvel will play up the menace angle much harder

“Hey, fellow Avengers, Doc Ock took over my body — all that stuff that happened wasn’t me.”

“No sweat, Spidey, that kind of thing has happened to each of us at some point or another. Welcome back to the team!”

And Spider-man is back to saving the world and hanging out with the Avengers and people think he’s a hero.

I had the same thought, just hope they don’t abandon all of the progress Peter Parker has made. It’s one thing to want Spider-Man to be seen as a menace in the public eye, its another to have Peter go back to being photographer for the Daily Bugle.

I think you nailed it.

The first issue was great, so I can’t wait to see what Dan Slott has in store for us!
