Basically, we have a choice. We can set up OUR ENTIRE CULTURE to function on personal responsibility, or we can base it on protecting people from their own stupidity. You can’t have it both ways.

The major event crossover is making a comeback in comics. DC is currently publishing Infinite Crisis, Marvel just got done with House of M, and the Spider-Man comics are currently in the last quarter of a twelve-part story called The Other: Evolve or Die.
That last story hasn’t been a bad one, but it feels like a repeat to me for some reason. Still, that’s not what this post is about. They’re doing second printings of each issue, and each of these has a varient cover featuring a different Spider-Man costume drawn by Mike Weiringo. To save you some trouble, I’m going to single out the two you need to go buy:
Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #20 (I know it’s Hudlin and Pat Lee, which is two strikes against this comic, but this cover makes it worth it.)
The Amazing Spider-Man #525
I’ve included scans of these two covers behind the cut.
