We’re now accepting bets on which issue of ASM will feature the comics debut of Swiss Miss.

I think the only Spider-Man show that would make a lot of fans happy is one that involved their being zapped with a ray that gave them Spider-Man’s powers, having the actress playing Mary Jane come down into the audience and make out with them for two hours, and then having all the people that ever made fun of their reading comic books come out on stage and sing apologies until the curtains closed.

I appreciate Taymor, and I grudgingly acknowledge the success of U2 (mainly because I don’t like their music), but really, Swiss Miss? Was White Rabbit unavailable?

While “Spider-Man” the musical sounds silly on the face of it, I’m eager to see it. Julie Taymor is no joke, folks. She’s the real deal as far as theatrical visionaries go. And Bono and The Edge have a pretty good resume too.

I found this clip where she talks about the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezI3doSLWm4 . Of course, she misstates the year Spider-Man was created, so I’m sure that will make lots of people livid.

I find it amusing that amongst the names:Green Goblin, Carnage, Electro, Rhino, Swarm and Lizard, people can still make fun of Swiss Miss. As if the rest aren’t equally silly without knowing the history behind those villians.

I’m excited to see this Swiss Miss, I hope she has a sidekick: Saint Pauli Girl.

What a waste…..a joke……a very sad thing.
Get your tickets now, since it will probably close opening night, at least it should.

“Swiss Miss”? What, is she going to throw pudding and hot chocolate at our favorite web-singer[sic]?

I’m leaning toward “epically bad”. What an overbaked monstrosity.

This will be epically good or epically bad. I am not sure which, yet.
