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?).

Today's Silk provides fresh motivation for Felicia going bad, it boils down to a "I was just one heist away from retirement" angle

not sure how much better that is. Could you maybe go into a bit more detail?
Basically, Felicia was starting to grow weary of being an occasional hero as well as a thief and wanted to be "anything else", to that end, she had been building up a previously unseen nest egg for herself, Sp Ock's interference took away her nest egg following her arrest and she figured that since nobody wanted her to have a clean slate, she'd just get dirty again and go "beyond bad"

So Felicia Hardy is Triple H now. What's best for business is best for me.
Mileena Madness
Huh. So how would you rate this new revelation?
Ja

Depends on what happens next. I doubt Cindy wants to send Felicia to jail unlike Miles who tried to bring her back under bars.
Takat Empress
Peter has to be thinking why do all of his interests have suits or powers these days.
Mary Jane = Iron Spider
Gwen Stacy = Spider Gwen
Felicia Hardy = Black Cat
Cindy Moon = Silk
Mileena Madness
So it would appear Peter, MJ, and Regent are experiencing even more deja vu in the conclusion to "Power Play", as their battle reminds them of something familiar, yet different, aka their battle in Renew Your Vows. Could the ANAD and RYV versions be one and the same? If so, Annie May Parker may be out there somewhere

There's an idea that's currently formulating in my head, one that's kind of haphazard but revolves around the fact that Reed Richard (w/Molecule Man) basically created the current version of the Marvel 616 if I'm not mistaken, and the possibility that one of the things they did was restore Peter and M Js marriage in some form, the two just haven't discovered that yet.
Admittedly, it's a very raw, unrefined idea.
That's interesting, though like with the mindwipe of OMD, it seems to still be affecting the people that knew Peter and Mj were married also, that said it'd also explain Mephisto turning up to goad Peter in Spidey/Deadpool, he's not leaving him alone because the deal is null and void, though being a bit mystical, he now remembers making the deal in the earlier version of reality, where as before he supposedly gave himself amnesia in regards to it according to Quesada in OMIT (his way of concealing the smoking gun). I've had a theory the Clone Conspiracy could even end with Annie May turning up, since it'd be 20 years since the kid was stillborn/abducted/whatever

Hmm. Marvel is upping the diversity of their characters, increasing the amount of young characters and even putting them all together into a team (well, a team that isn't called "Young Avengers"). Might this mean that OMD will be reversed, Peter and MJ will suddenly be married and have a kid who will also be a superhero?
Also, in light of the news there will be a new Iron Man, where will this leave MJ's role as a supporting character in that book?
Since Tony will most likely die or go into hiding MJ will have to run the company probably. She'll probably give Riri a AI based on Tony or something to guide her.

Yeah, the promotional art for the new IM does hint at a holographic/ghostly Tony, you could be right
Takat Empress
Very likely, but now I'm hoping Mary can get some more action as a Spider-Person.
Well, there's another Iron Man book coming out which will probably have Doom in the role, so MJ could go there (Doom almost forced MJ to marry him in the newspaper strip once)
I think I may know now why Slott's picked Mockingbird as a potential "steady" for Peter...did'nt the Skrull that impersonated her for years ultimately wind up dealing with Mephisto?

So, the latest Spider-Man 2099 issue solidified the Father Jennifer has always been the Goblin thing. Right before fridging her. Sigh.
