His new show reaper on the CW is fucking brilliantly hilarious. The best thing he's done since Dogma.The fat guy sidekick is the perfect jack black/kevin smith projectionary archetype. Bloody brilliant. and the guy playing satan is ridiculously great.I've already forgiven him for jersey girl the first episode was so good.if the whole season is good I'll forgive him for being so late on all his marvel comics work.if the whole series is good i'll forigive him for turning his latest spider-man story into a rape public service announcement.check this shit out, it's on the CW-T

Not Amazing? JMS is still on that right? However bad the rape storyline you mention is it can't be as bad as Sins Past.I didn't Reaper was Kevin Smith. I saw the screener s few months ago. The show changed the actress for the girl from the girl from 13 to the girl from Heroes. And you can tell that the main character Sam looks different in the new scenes with Heroes. I think it's his hair.
his doing a horror movie called "Red State"

I think it's his hair.Couple things.I've never watched Heroes....this guy Sam(the actor) is from heroes? didn't know about the chick...she's super cute.anyway, Kevin Smith was never on ASM. He started a 5 issue Spider-Man/Black Cat mini series in like circa 03 that he didn't finish the last 2 issues of till like 06-07. The story started off awesome (before he well...stopped writing it) and when he picked it up again it became a big awkward after school special about rape, incest and other weird shit that made me feel dirty walking away from. He brought in some elements from his daredevil run though and that was cool and it was still a worthwhile excursion but I feel he could have ended it way better had he kept his momentum on it.anyway, Sins Past was Joe Quesada (E-I-C)'s fault. JMS wanted those kids to be Peter's. Quesada said No, that would age Peter too much,how about let's make them Norman Osborns? JMS had to say "Okay boss" cause JQ's his boss. I love JMS, especially his entire collaboration with John Romita Jr (essentially the first 6 trade paperbacks worth of work JMS did). I feel once JRJR left, JMS was a bit lost. But I HIIIIGHLY recommend you read JMS first 6 arcs if you haven't. Most people haven't read JMS' early run. His first trade is called "Coming Home" and his 6th (the last one with JRJR) is called "The Book of Ezekiel". That run is just flawless to me.anyway, skin deep and sins past I did not like. The Other was mediocre (also quesada's fault. JMS wanted to do it over 24 months in ASM alone but since quesada had a certain time frame in mind for civil war, JMS had to make it 12 parts. 4 parts over 3 monthly titles so the story was done in 4 months and hella rushed.). But around the CW stuff, JMS got really good again (specificially when Ron Garney took over as penciller, I guess Straczynski just needs good collaborators) and has been since imo, though I feel he is more decompressed than he used to be.anyway, JMS is currently writing the last arc of his 6 year run on ASM. It's called 'One More Day' and it's pencilled by Quesada. and it's been HEAVILY hinted and rumored that Quesada has ordered this story break up the marriage of Peter and MJ and frankly most fans are pissed. For more specifics on the discussion, hit up www.newsarama.com, you'll see me in the forums puttin' it down.The first part of OMD came out and it's drawn uber-well and the story seems cool but like I said, I feel JMS is more decompressed than he used to be.Bottom line? JMS is dope except when JQ exerts editorial mandates on him. I thought sins past would have been frickin' amazing if those kids were Peter's.and Kevin smith will not be let near comics anymore because that mini series (and a daredevil one that he started and never finished...but damn is that first issue dope....) was so late. so to me, reaper is his chance for redemption. Clerks 2 wasn't bad but...I don't wanna say it wasn't as good as part 1 cause that's too big an expectation but I at least wanted to see hella pseudo-intellectual minutae analyzing dialogue like in part 1 to balance all the slapstic he's been so prone to since Jay and Bob strikes back and there was like no more than half of a decent geeky conversation at a time and that was a big disappointment to me.how regularly do you keep up with ASM?-T
