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.

It might be the angles.

Or it might be just that he needs large hands in order smash criminal faces.

There is so much melodrama in this single panel of Spider-Man. (As a kid I thought the hippie meant 'cat' as in a literal cat and mistook Spidey for one. XD)

Silver Age Spidey had all sorts of moments like those.

The same issue had Peter getting pissed at Flash for one flirty remark with Gwen.

Is Screwball as annoying in the comics as she is in the video game?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Nope. She's pretty funny and more of a loveable rogue.

She punked Spider-Ock. It was funny until he brutally beat her and her friend.

Got a Villain Episode once.

The Amazing Mary Jane used her redesign from Spider-Man/Deadpool, so I guess it's sticking around.

Started Ahmed's Spider-Man and I'm gonna say it: He's a better Miles writer than Bendis. Miles finally has a distinct voice.

[up][up][up] Tell that to Jameson. All those years of calling Spidey a menace and he cheers when Spider-Ock beats up Screwball and Jester on live camera.

Gotta love Superior Spider-Man. Thanks Dan Slott, stay consistent.

[up] Bendis Miles always could have been as popular as Spidey Verse Miles. Like all the elements where there, the movie just knew how to take advantage of it.

Jameson once praised Daredevil for brutally killing Bullseye on live t.v. Sure Bullseye was a rabid dog that should have been put down a long time ago but but Jameson is supposed to be against vigilantism.

[up] God i miss consistent Jameson.

But still, i love his current character place as an ally to Spidey. He's now Spider-Man's best friend and i love the sheer irony.

Like the comments say, she should be in the MCU and have her backstory hijacked by Tony Stark.

She was originally from The Electric Company's Spider-Man shorts, though some Spidey Super Stories villains were exclusive to the comic.

Like the Thumper. Girl dressed in a Napoleon costume who knocked people out and stole stuff because she didn't get a yellow pony for her birthday.

Spider-Fan.Org's recaps of Spidey Super Stories are so funny XD Star Jaws, The Beastly Banana, Doom's Day at the UN, and The Grand Garbage Can are my favorites.

(This series is also where the Thanoscopter came from)
