Count, I was finding that I didn't have the patience to read a lot of comic books that were coming out before I stopped buying them several years ago. The exception was the new Conan comic with the painted artwork. That was very well written and drawn. But when I see long sections of dialogue like the J. Jonah television interview in this Spidey priview my mind tends to go into edit mode and I do a lot of glossing over.

Meanwhile, do you think that the reboot is a necessity to attract newer readers? Marvel always did have complex storylines with references that could go back to the first pages of any book. With Spider-Man having over 500 issues it could be that a reboot will make the book a bit more reader friendly for new readers and allow them to jump onboard without feeling lost. Remember, Disney built an empire on releasing its classic films every five years figuring that every five years they had a fresh and brand new audience.
