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?).

So my best guess is the stranger that rescues Peter and MJ is Paul, he's from this devastated future, and when it's averted, then he and the kids will cease to exist. It's the Samurai Jack ending isn't it?
Interesting factoid I just learned: while Christopher Priest (comics) was editing Spider-Man, his assistant editor was Maddie Blaustein, meaning mainstream cape comics' first Black editor and first trans editor were both working on Marvel's biggest character at the same time.
The difference between Peter and MJ here and with Wells is not just night and day, it's oil and water
I really wouldn’t mind if they cooled it on the spiderverse for a while.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersSame. The concept was kind of cool back when the cartoon and game did it. The first event was a mess but had some good moments, and everything else just gets worse and worse.
Except the movies.
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"The cartoons managed to overuse it without even technically doing the verse every time
Specifically they kept overusing the existence of many spider-characters all at once, the 2017 show was really bad at it with Miles, Gwen, and Anya all operating in Peter's first year as Spidey
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

That symbiote was part of carnage like still connected to it while this one is a fresh clean symbiote
