Worst retcon ever...

Oh, dear, lord. How awful can one comic book be?

Bad art? Check! (The characters go from looking like pneumatic fanboy drool picture in one panel to giant mouthed freaks in the next. The fight scenes are hard to follow. The artist forces the female lead into akward poses right off of posters but not at all reasonable for the situation.)

Dumb rehashing of past characters? Check! (Another goblin for Petey to fight. Looking back and remembering Gwen Stacey.)

Rewriting a character's history and poisoning the most important character in that past? Check! (Seriously, Peter Parker's true love - from the comic books - has always been Gwen Stacey. In this story, they retcon that she had an affair with his greatest enemy. Seriously bothersome to comic geeks. Admittedly, kinda bothersome to me, even though I'm a DC guy.)

All in all, horrible idea. Horrible execution. Let's just pretend that it never happened.
