of two popular superheroes than something like that ----they took
both characters to their core as far as they had to (in my opinion)
and intertwined them in a really tight story (with those great illustrations too)
Take a story like WORLD'S FINEST that was written for
SUPERMAN and BATMAN for the "Timmverse" --I mean, that starred
my favorite popular hero (SUPERMAN) and was probably just as good
a story and characterization, but SPIDEY'S light-hearted nature
up against BATMAN's brooding---it just lends itself to the most dynamic
of popular super-relationships I can think of
Hey, maybe something like SILVER SURFER meets PLASTIC MAN might
be another that'd come close---but I'm really reaching there
I also like in DM how SPIDEY loses his temper with THE JOKER (almost
like black-suit SPIDEY from SPIDER-MAN 3) ---it really accentuates how
infuriating a psycho like THE JOKER can be
(reminds me of "BB" Terry vs. the Joker in their showdown in BB's ROTJ)
The reason I just went on like this is I think this is the first time
I've brought up DISORDERED MINDS on these boards and someone
acknowledged it!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Regarding SPIDEY vs. the JOKER---in DISORDERED MINDS it seems
SPIDEY handles JOKER quite well-----in fact, it's BATMAN actually that
makes a couplea errors regarding SPIDEY'S nemesis---namely, CARNAGE,
being tricked by his disjointed symbiote pieces to think he is dead at one point---
but, hey SUPERMAN gets tricked by the JOKER like nobody's business
when THEY meet up from time to time---so BATS has THAT going for him
I know you were joking around T-bolt---but I just love talking about
DISORDERED MINDS if I have any opportunity"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Usually the DC/Marvel stuff is pretty lame. The inclusion of Carnage isn't selling it for me either. The last decent crossover was JLA/Avengers.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

that CARNAGE was the villain in the book because I was hoping
for some SPIDEY-villain I grew up with to team-up with
my favorite supervillain of them all (JOKER).
The thing is though that the writer used CARNAGE because
he wanted to use him to play off as a parallel copy
of the JOKER to go with the theme that "life can be chaos & cruel"
---and these villains represented that best in the authors' eyes
I guess---kinda like "PSYCHO and PSYCHOER"
Another thing I'll admit is that even though I think it was PERFECTLY
written (and illustrated), well, for a hardcore comicbook
reader, it may come off as too generic in it's overall story
and vibe. I didn't mind that. It kept it simple enough to make it fun.
I just thought it was great.
Just thought I'd try to give ya the full dope there
in case anything I'd say might make ya wanna check it out
Actually, even though its kinda dark in tone---I'd
recommend it if you were looking for a gift for younger superhero
fans too--just because the story DOES seem a bit simpler than most"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive.
