Please join me in welcoming a couple new folks to the review staff. 

Erik Lexie will be joining Donovan in reviewing the Amazing Spider-Man title. Each will give you their unique take on the title. It’s the main book so I think two viewpoints is always a good thing. 

Nathaniel Collins will be reviewing the new Avenging Spider-Man title. He has done a great job reviewing the various Spider-Mini series. 

Shaun Martineau otherwise known as Sarcasmic on the message board will be reviewing the FF title. If you’d like to see a sample he wrote one on this thread and it helped him get the gig. 

Also I’m adding another regular panelist to the Crawlspace podcast. Josh Bertone is no longer a fill in, he’s a regular. He’s done an oustanding job by coordinating Spider-Jeopardy for the last few years. He also did a great job getting interviews at San Diego. And he even gives JR a run for his money in Spider-Knowledge.

Please take time to welcome everyone on their new positions and helping me make this the best Spider-Man site on the web. 

Marvel.com just sent me this press release. It has a character with Spider-Man looking eyes and the character is wearing a hoodie. Could this be the return of Ben?

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Sony has sent out a memo to the movie theaters that it won’t pay for the 3D glasses on it’s films.
