Maybe this means we'll get Morbius, after all...

(note: Anyone who's already "sick" of me covering Spider-Man Reboot news might as well just check out of this blog from now until about 2013, just so we're clear.)

EVERYONE on the Web is covering the Spider-Man story, but as of right now the best "day of" reaction I've come across was from Devin over on Chud: http://chud.com/articles/articles/22113/1/THE-DEVIN039S-ADVOCATE-TWILIGHT-FOR-SPIDER-MAN-AND-HOLLYWOOD/Page1.html

As is frequently the case, he's landed on a thesis that makes a depressing amount of sense regarding Sony's "send the series back to high school" angle: It allows them to morph the franchise into "Twilight" i.e. 'superpowers-as-teen-angst-melodrama.'

Yegh. Might as well start scanning The CW for whoever's going to take the lead (they'll be looking for "a less-edgy Michael Cera.")
