Because I so do. Superman too.
I went out to the mall today to ask about my job app at the gamespot there. They're looking for people who can come in now, but at least they keep my app on file for like 6 months. After that, I went to the Borders on a whim. Decided I would get a job app there too. I ended up reading comics and graphic novels for like an hour.
And holy cow, Superman rocks so very much. As does Spiderman. I read the Goblin Returns collection, and Peter just completely rules. I'd read parts of it before, but the final comic in that one just killed me all over again on Spidey. He ends up sitting next to Gobby and they have a talk. And he just tells Gobby that he can kill all the family and friends that he wants, but Peter loves them so much he can never hate Gobby, and just walked out. I've always loved the Spidey, but that reclinched everything for me. *sniffs* You the man Peter!
I also love the Superman, but it's always interesting, the difference between the two. I've always liked that Peter gets the pain of death, of being responsible for his powers, and for everything really. He had to learn to be a better person once he got his abilities. Supes on the other hand, I love because he's always done the right thing. From the very first, he's always just done what's right, even if it's tremendously hard for him. I think what realyl gets me about both of them has always been their perserverance. Superman hasn't always had many chances to really come back from being the underdog, but webs certainly does. Especially when Gobby is involved. Gobby can beat him down with every emotionally wrenching move in the book, and still Peter comes back and wins.
"Why don't you jsut give up? Lay down and die? You're beaten! How much pain do I have to inflict on you? How muchdo I have to tear away from you? Under that costume you're just flesh and blood! And yet time and time again you endure the agony and keep coming forward! YOU LIVE! Why? Why? Why?!"
"I do it to spite you, Goblin. I do it in spite of you."
