RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Comic Books Dan Slott & Ty Templetons Spider-man/Human Torch

I would like to Thank the two Gentlemen I have mentioned in the title of this topic for one of the most enjoyable series I have read in a very long time.

Rarely do I laugh out loud at intentional humour in Superhero comics but this series had me laughing constantly - at work, on the bus...,no wonder, I have no friends.

But it's not just laughs, there's action, adventure, some tears and whats a Webhead story set at the beginning of his career without some angst!

Spider-man/Human Torch is a five issue Limited series made up of stand alone stories spanning the the beginning to the present day relationship between Spidey and Matchstick.

Templeton has adjusted his art style for each era, giving the book some authetism and Slott has done the same with the dialog.

The problem with minis and one shots is that they get lost in time because they don't have any real relevancy to the ongoing book. Thankfully this series does not fall into this category and expands on the two leads relationship - How? Well you'll just have to buy the series! If you can't find the books, it should be coming out shortly in one of those handy dandy dinky cheap digest sized formats.

So far, Slott can do no wrong for me. Batman:Arkham, She-Hulk and GLA, I can't wait to read what he has in store for the Thing!

Good call.

This series was GREAT. It reminded me of what I like about Spider-Man. And it reinforced that these guys really are great friends.

"Itsy-Bitsy Spider"... heh...

Very good.I liked this mini a lot.

I read the first two issues this morning, and have enjoyed them greatly! I think Dan Slott is swell, and his She-Hulk is probably one of the best books that Marvel publishes...errrrrr...kinda publishes!

Three cheers for Dan Slott!

P.S.
Oh yeah, Ty Templeton is one of the funniest writers out there too, when he does write. Check out his "Stig's Inferno" from the late eighties to see what I mean...

I remember when Slott and Templeton were co-writing the Batman "animated" book. They really did a great job of capturing everything about the animated series that made it "Ultimate Batman." I just wish someone at DC had sobered up/would sober up and give these guys a job writing the "regular" book.

Is it true that the Spider-Buggy makes an appearence?

ROY BATTY is back!

HOORAY!
