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.

What I wonder now though is exactly what type of job can Pete get at this point?

He's blacklisted as a Photographer.

Parker Industries went belly up.

Now he's for sure blacklisted from the Scientific Community.

So like, maybe back to being a teacher again? Forensics Scientist with the NYPD like his MC 2 counterpart?

surprised it took this long for the Spider-Man comics to make a "bye, Felicia" joke.

Speaking of her she essentially is rebooted now, even her outfit is her old one again. Welp you all got your wish...

Oh No, Doctor Connors' Class!

even her outfit is her old one again

wild mass guessThere's a direct correlation between her moral alignment and the amount of cleavage that she has on display. More = good, less = evil.wild mass guess

But that evil Power Girl clone from that one storyline was introduced dressed like the Pyro from Team Fortress 2.

That feeling when your new teacher is someone you punched in the face so many times in the past.

...

So...why exactly is he teaching as the Lizard? I know there's been a whole thing with him eating his family, and finally regaining his human mind as the Lizard, but who thought it was a good idea to let him teach like that?

Last I heard he's stuck like that because Spider-Man jammed too many chemical spikes into his brain.

Glad to see everyone liked Amazing Spider-Man #1 as much as I did! Spencer didn't handle the Secret Empire backlash well at all but he's more than that and a he's a great writer. Though I'm sure there will be ups and downs, I'm so happy to see Mary Jane and Peter back together, he's just a better character when she's around and not so much of a No-Respect Guy.

This week seems to be a gift for Spidey fans, as in the newspaper strip sees a troubled Peter decides to phone MJ and talk to her about the guilt he's feeling over exposing Iron Fist. MJ tells him he's more worried by the fact he wasn't comfortable with revealing his identity to Danny. Peter teases his wife asking how she can read minds over the phone.

Has Peter hit Otto extra hard over the whole Superior mess yet? If not, it seems overdue.

Interesting. Also, not sure whether referenced in-comic, but I detected a subtle change in the Superior Octopus costume when reading Scans of Amazing 800 and also note the same here. It seems decidedly less Hydra-y, both in terms of the chest logo as well as substituting green for white. Although as far as the latter goes, from Google Images, it seems like there has been some Depending on the Artist on that score to begin with.

Just heard the news about Amazing Spider-Man 1. You better not be fucking us over Spencer. Don't pull a Tom King.

Yeah, how's about we wait a few issues before we start praising Spencer too much.

People thought his "Sam Wilson: Captain America" book was gonna be good by looking at the just first couple issues, and that book ended up being awful.
