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.

Some spoilers for this week's issue has me...concerned.

Peter and Felicia get to the Spa, only to find Mary Jane and Paul are there, so things get awkward. On top of that, the Sinister Six are there too

So Once again, any chance of fleshing out the Peter/Felicia pairing in this run is dashed in favour of the more important relationship drama in Peter and MJ, also this kind of further undercuts the next three issues of Jed Mc Kay's MJ/Black Cat mini-series as we'll probably know with this issue the definitive answer as to whether or not MJ still has her powers or if she's learned Felicia's dating Peter and gives her the blessing. I really have never seen Felicia treated this badly since the Queenpin days

That is concerning news.

Plus, if MJ&BC is supposed to continue after the Limbo arc, that's probably going to complicate things further. Also, do we really need two love triangle drama storylines at the same time? With the same love triangle?

In before this is the setup to a throuple arc.

How does the MU Vatican or the like react to the presence of a Norse god as provably real public figure? I wonder what their official stance on Thor actually is. Do they just go with the early-MCU "he's an alien" excuse?

Edit: Oops, this is the Spidey thread, I'll take this to the Marvel one.

OK, some more details on tomorrow's ASM

Peter and Felicia head off to investigate an explosion, but Peter ends up having his boxer shorts exposed in front of MJ and Paul. Paul makes a joke about it and MJ says she thinks Paul's underwear is "cuter" and just f that, considering the boxers are cat-themed she's clearly only making that remark out of envy.

Was this issue ghostwritten by that guy who spent thousands of dollars on (spoilers for the weak-stomached) dozens of Rule 34 commissions of Peter with a literally toothpick-sized dick being assraped by Luke Cage while MJ watches?

I don't know if this would be the most appropriate place, but I was wondering a thing about Miles Morales. Has it ever been explained why does he have electricity and invisibility powers beyond the standard spider powers?

oh hey how are you doing?

When you open the issue up, the recap page reveals that MJ and Paul are married

Yeah, rather than tell you that in the story, they save it for the recap page
