Never? Considering he's the one with more writing credits on the character, that's unlikely, but I don't really feel like rereading his run, so I can't actually refute your statement

As I say Ozy I genuinely cannot remember him having Peter say that ONCE during his entire run. Now it is possible I've forgotten an occasion or two but since I've sold most of my comics (due to lack of space, not necessarily anything to do with my opinion on the quality or lack of individual comic) I can't exactly check. But I'm reasonably certain of what I've said is true LOL.

Well, the quality of the work must've had something to do with the decision, about which comics you were willing to part with. In any case, the underlaying disparity of opinion, seems to be impossible to settle, maybe we could agree on Slott, using the cliché less than usual?

In the old days, when I couldn't afford to get AS MANY as I do nowadays then yes the quality had a part to play in it. But nowadays, due to the amount I buy and the limited space we have I CAN'T keep them forever so after I've read them I put them in a carrier bag and then once I've filled up three I sell them. That's the only way I can keep any comics for any kind of substantial period. As for the Slott part of your post? Sure I've got no problem agreeing to that compromise

Yo mean, you get rid of all of them, after a fashion?!

After reading them yes. Be a waste of money if I didn't at least read them first LOL

And there's not a single one, that you think you'll want to read again, at some point in the future?
As for the joke, you'll be surprised to hear that way back, when I was buying everything, I actually owned some comics I never got around to read.

^^ I'm not completely surprised, life can get pretty hectic afterall.
As far as the comics I'd want to read again in the future? I do get graphic novels which is part of the reason why I can't keep the comics.

Yeah I'm ready for a new writer for Amazing at this point but it appears we're stuck with him for at least another year. If Slott does indeed leave ASM, expect Brian Michael Bendis to take over as the new writer as he has yet to do a full run on Spider-Man/Peter Parker as an adult.

Seriously now, Bendis would be a change for the good.

I wouldn't complain if it was Brian Michael Bendis but I just have a feeling it'll be someone else but wait and see I guess

Issue 5 is out, but I don't know when/if I'll be reading it. The four initial issues of this latest relaunch, have left me rather uninterested, about the title's future, and it's unlikely I'll revisit it, unless Slott decides to pick over Dr. Octopus' story, where he left it. I think it's safe to say at this point, that Peter is pretty much a lost cause, as long as Dan remains as the leading Spider-Man writer. He's managed to make disappear or throw off-kilter, every stablished ASM character, Peter included. I ended up skipping issues 5-17, and came back as soon as Otto stepped into the spotlight, once again. That's nearly a year I've missed, but I dare say I didn't really miss that much. All this time, the talk of the show has been about the Dead No More storyline, and here it is, in all its glory (cough).

I don't think it's a coincidence that, the moment Otto steps out (#19), ASM stops being interesting, and when he gets back (#20) it regains interest yet again.
BTW, the backup feature with the Kingpin, was god-awful. All the work poured over the years, starting with Miller, to redefine the character as a criminal mastermind, and Slott brings him back to his big and violent (original) shelf.

There's two ways to look at issue 23: - You compare it with ASM #145, and it wins.
- You compare it with ASM #479, and it loses.
In the first case, the common ground would be Peter confronting a Gwen clone. Slott could've done a better job, for sure, but he doesn't favour Gwen or MJ, as characters, and that reflects in this panel:
I'd say this is a clear criticism at the way Conway handled a similar situation, back in the day. But of course, Gerry was an MJ fanboy. The second comparison, may not be as apparent, but it shows "The Conversation" as a way to it handle correctly, (a loved one finding out about Peter's double life and all the lies that came with it).

Well, I'm officially dropping ASM after Osborn Identity as I've stated in the pull-list thread. I just can't support the book any longer. I had to force myself to buy issue 25 just because I wanted to read Osborn Identity.
