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?).

Actually, Perlmutter seems like he pretty much stays away from the comic book side of the business, preferring to leave it to the President (Dan Buckley) and EIC (CB Cebulski).
If he had been trying to keep progressive themes out of the comics, he failed quite a lot.

My mind also drifts back to a rumor about Perlmutter from a few years back... Rich Johnston, of Bleeding Cool, claimed to have learned that there was someone "worse than Jimmy Savile" highly-placed at one of the Big Two, whose identity he was withholding because if he released the information, the resulting scandal would cause hundreds of innocent people to lose their jobs (logic I question but that's neither here nor there). Perlmutter was considered the most likely suspect for this person's identity. Most dismissed the allegations as a wild story (Johnston not exactly being the most reliable of sources), but... post-Weinstein it seems less unbelievable than it did back then.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."
Surrounded by weirdoes
In general, I am still on a "see how it ends" base on those rumors.
Wake me up at your own risk.
Didn't that guy turned out to be a Superman editor? Berganza or something like that.
If I recall, he used to have a very high position on DC. He didn't just had a involvement in comics, but also in tv and merchandise. When the first reports of harrassment begin, they simply demoted him until he became Superman editor. It wasn't until things got to big that they finally fired him.

Berganza was indeed a predator but I'd be hard pressed to call him worse than Savile, perhaps one of the most prolific serial rapists in human history.
But on second thought maybe we shouldn't be talking about this. Don't want to get witch hunt-y.

Spider-Man will become an Immortal Hulk.
Finally got a chance to read the Amazing Mary Jane, and the art is lovely. The two carousel horses we see at the bottom of page 10, is incredibly detailed and gorgeous.

Oh my God, you can actually use Pym Particles to make a movie provided you can pay for them.
Jesus movies must be fucking amazing with that level of tech.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
You just need trillions of dollars.

According to solicitations for Amazing Spider-Man, the build to a new event called "Last Remains" will start

Funny but not helpful
Scott Lang would probably do it for fairly cheap
His life is a fire
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
There is one minor problem with the MJ comic: Spider-Man and dancing are things that should not be mixed.
Ultimate Secret Wars
It's
like an Evil Counterpart to Super Sons.
The grandson of the Green Goblin and the son of Venom team-up...so they can be friends and have fun!

Oh right Norman once wore Carnage so the Osborn family is now related to the Venom family through Venom’s son Carnage.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Five bucks to whoever can show how they’re related to the Summers or Pym families.
Normie also wore part of carnage and was goblyn childe.
Didn't he die in Spider-Geddon?

In their press release Marvel revealed He's ressurected at the end of the current Spider-Verse mini-series
The Noir series starts in March. Spider-Verse will have concluded by then
Edited by Zarius on Oct 25th 2019 at 11:18:01 AM
Then why bother killing him off then?
I mean, I’m pretty sure that someone involved must have known he was going to be in Spider-Verse.

If you didn't know, Perlmutter is an alt-righter (a close personal friend of The Donald, even) and is widely believed to have been trying to hold back progressive messages in books for the past few years.
