Spider-Man General Discussion

Go To

This thread's for the Spider-Man comics and spin-offs, whether they're decades old or brand new.

  • Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
  • Spider-Man 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Carnage, Black Cat, Red Goblin and Spider-Verse.
  • Characters and comics that originated in Spider-Man but are no longer directly connected to the spider-franchise (e.g. Punisher, Silver Sable) are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread which covers them.

Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their Spider-Man stories here.

Discussions that are only about Spider-Man adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.

Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

     Original Thread OP 
Since everyone likes talking about him. I know little about him(Ironically,I got nearly all I know about him from a Batman thread),but he's apparently important so I made this thread. Enjoy.

And Felicia's Character Derailment continues.

There was a point in time, before OMD, where Black Cat was up there with Human Torch as Peter's closest superhero confidant.

Yeah, the parts with Fauxlicia and Peter thinking how much MJ must have worried about him while they were together were really aggravating.

Read Deadpool vs. Carnage #4, and it was... weird.

[up] Not to mention mediocre at best.

Web of Spider-Man #44 name-checked Alan Moore. And also called him scary-looking. I'll bet he got a kick out of that.

Ultimate Norman shows us how big a fan of G Gundam he is by pulling off a God/Burning Finger to kill Monica Chang.

Thanks for doing that. Looks pretty good.

Since I've started following Superior Foes, I've thought about adding Beetle II and Overdrive to the page.

I heard the 2012 Scarlet Spider was basically like this:

(on the rooftop of a two story building in Houston)

Kaine: (red caption box) I'm a dark anti-hero.

(Aracely comes out of nowhere)

Aracely: HI!

(Surprises Kaine, fall off roof, and hits the sidewalk face first)

Kaine: (red caption box) ...ow.

As a reader of New Warriors, I'm thinking about checking it out.

[up] . . . Yeah, that sounds about right. It was a really good series. Especially the issue with Armadillo.

[up] Since Kaine actually looks like a clone of Spider-Man now, I like to think he sounds like Peter Parker trying to channel a '90s Anti-Hero (aka what Kaine used to be) and failing miserably. wink

Yost not only made Kaine good, he made him fun. Wow. I'm the type that believes there's no bad characters, only bad stories, and that's Exhibit A right there.

Wait, Fury wasn't a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent then, anyways. First we hear of him in modern days, he's working with the CIA to bring down the Hate-Monger, and before that he was retired.

That's just what he and his LMDs wanted everyone to think.

Nice try, he didn't even know what an LMD was until he joined (more like was drafted into) S.H.I.E.L.D.

So, Spider-Man has a new love interest.

And hopefully, she won't turn out to be made of spiders.

I can't wait for her to dump Peter in Spider-Verse for the true Superior Spider-Man. Kaine Parker. Who will just moan about how he's a monster who doesnt deserve love.

Weirdly, I actually think pairing Kaine up with one of the X-Women would be potentially cute. Heck, pull a throwback and have him go out with Marrow a few times.

Well from the looks of it less love-interest and more mate-interest?
