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.

The Spider-Man Animated Series comic continuation will pick up after Mary-Jane is rescued and if it does well we'll see what actually happened. https://www.cbr.com/jm-dematteis-interview-spiderman-animated-series-cliffhanger-mary-jane/

So there is no point in reading this then.

Glad they got that out of the way.

Oh, so it's hostage situation with the story people actually want.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

Why would that not be the first story they tell? Peter finding and rescuing MJ i the main story that people wanted to see from a continuation of the show.sad

Apparently Venom is getting a new design later in the year? One that makes him look like a much buffer Spider-Carnage?

Anyone hear about this or is Reddit pulling my leg with fanart?

[up][up] So they made Bile canon.

You know for the last 40 years or so whenever Venom bonded with Peter they always flew Venom's colors. Venom flying Spiderman's colors is a reversal I didn't know I wanted.

The question is of course how this happens. This is the issue after Knull's return, so does something happen there that forces a redesign for M Jnom? Does Venom go back to Peter and this is a way to show how much they get along now? Or is this Eddie finally wearing a canon "Carnom?"

[up]According to the article, that Venom is from an alternate universe who first appears in the new Battleword series, with a back up story in the main Venom series. So it doesn't sound like it will be MJ.

[up][up]Apparantly Al Ewing is not involved with this character.

I know I'm being a cynic, but I'll believe it when I see it. The current editorial approach to Spider-Man thrives on milking frustration.

Just because MJ's breaking up with Paul, that doesn't mean something worse isn't coming. Like, I dunno, MJ gets hit by Truck-Kun and wakes up with no memory, or Peter decides he hates her and hooks up with Paul's heretofore unmentioned sister, or something.

Funnily enough i saw another leak where MJ reveals she’s Venom to Peter and he says “The way you teed this up I thought you were going to ask to get back together” “You deserve each other” so you were kinda on the money

If I remember right, according to Mephisto in OMD, God Himself is actually a Shipper on Deck for Peter/MJ, which is why Mephisto wanted it gone so badly.

This from a story that was supposed to sink the ship. [lol]

The story was blatantly editorially mandated, so no wonder the writer undermined the point.

Wake me up at your own risk.

Doubled down on in Spencer’s shitty disaster of a run where Mephisto affirmed that Mayday would totally punch his face in if she existed so he had to make her not exist to protect his moneymaker

And Dr Strange, who was nearby, said “yes I can see how the daughter of Peter and MJ would be that cool, they’re my fave power couple”

I wonder if they're ever gonna write that Spider-Girl comic where she does just that?

Or maybe use Anna (Annie) May Parker?

Or hell, why not both? They team up and beat up main universe Mysterio.

At this point, I'd rather Peter find love with another woman.

I've lost faith in the Mary Jane couple and their forced drama.

I just want him to have a stable relationship. MJ, Felicia, Crazy Weapon X Zombie Gwen, or a new character, just stop the chain-yanking and I'll be down for it.
