Sorry to hear about that.
I haven't seen the new Spider-Man movie yet, but I hope that you enjoyed it.

They just don't have the appetite for it.
We'll see what DC does with Clayface, because if that is successful, maybe Marvel will kind of start playing with it.
But I'm still upset with Marvel for letting Blade die, because that was their entryway to horror.
