Okay, it's no secret i was not a fan of the Aunt May issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. I'm all for a story that isn't all rock'em sock'em action, but I just wasn't ready for this.
Flash forward to reading my copy of the scriptbook, and seeing that this is one of the few issues that was included. Ugh.
Being the studious learner, and with great interest in the craft, i pressed on through my reluctance to spend the time reading this again. I am damn glad I did, because this issue in particular shows off what a great writer the B truly is.
I was converted on the spot. This issue just read differently without the art. not taking anything away from Bagley, because I reread the issue since, and I still thought very highly of it, but I guess it just took the written description of the scenes, expressions to get me into this issue.
reading this, I often wondered if I could do this, and I feel like I can. I am...ENCOURAGED!
So yeah, if you haven't bought this already and have the slightest desire to, you should.
Also, the script for my favorite issue of Ultimate Team-Up (#9, with the Fantastic Four) was a lot of fun, and I think will cause the word "Kirbyesque" to be entered into the lexicon.
I just wish there wasn't a rip on the back cover last two pages that i didn't notice while buying it. Oh well, it'll probably be well-worn in a couple years anyways. _________________

I've been planning to post this for the past couple days, and finally had time.
What can i say, i want more! Daredevil Scriptbook maybe?
You should change up the intro, though. You know the parts I'm talking about, and if you don't, do know that I have the Powers Scriptbook.
All in all, I was really glad I got it, and enjoyed the script choices, even though i heard a little grumbling about that. _________________

Please stop, I was planning on putting off buying this until I have a job or something, and this sort of thing makes it harder... _________________ www.nickmb.co.uk - So bad it's great! |

I just love inside stuff like this. Any little peek into the creative process. Well worth the purchase. _________________

It's full of useful goodies and hints for writers - it's a good thing that this was published. |

Thanks for including the script of "Guilt" (#45). I always loved this issue.
The others are ok, too.

Bookstores should be getting it in August I believe. Possibly late July. I know I will be getting a copy.
