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?).

Rumours are it's just bait and there's a reveal in ASM#25 that MJ actually stayed faithful to Peter and the kids are sacrificial marks she and Paul have to look after, if you notice in the run MJ's never been romantic with Paul in any scene they've been in, unless you count the banter they had at the spa.
The whole plot with MJ's family is likely going to go away after this arc is finished and we'll be moving on to Peter dealing with a supporting cast member dying, then Randy's wedding, and then another sequel to Kraven's Last Hunt

Miles battles Hobgoblin in July
Says he's got a story planned 'till about issue 50, and then it's a game of "wait and see", also says he's been advised not to attend conventions after ASM#26

I just found an issue of The Incredible Hercules (#130) where Uncle Ben is in Elysium, the Greek afterlife's Isle of the Blessed. He spends his afterlife fishing and guided Amadeus Cho and Trey Rollins, saying he knows just about everyone in Paradise (cause the world being what it is, it's kind of a small place).
The Protomen enhanced my life.Please refrain from engaging excessive negativity and creator/work bashing. It's not productive.
Macron's notesIt just hit me.
If what we think is happening is happening and the kids aren't really MJ's and they're sacrificial marks, and because Rabin marked Peter for vengeance, could MJ's pushing Peter away be because Rabin basically turned Peter into a spiritual tracking device of sorts, so the closer Peter is to MJ, the easier it is for Rabin to find and kill them?
I'm probably in worst case scenario mode again, but why do I get the distinct feeling that the Black Cat bonus story is to distract us from the impending badness that's coming? Like, when you're advised to not attend conventions after a certain issue has been published, we all might be in hot water.

So, three issues of Amazing Spider-Man dropping in July. The conclusion of the Doc Ock story and the double-sized wedding issue for Janice and Randy. Lots of bonus content too which will set up the next big event.
The solicitation for one of the ASM issues with Doc Ock says Peter is aided by a mysterious 'new ally', now I know some are already thinking this'll be Mary Jane as Jackpot, but it could also very well be those older tentacles of Ottos' that fell in love with Peter over in Amazing#900. Peter's even wearing them on the cover of an issue.
Was it more or less weird than when Tony’s armor did the same to Tony?
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Please tell me there's enough room to suggest that Paul coaxed MJ to copulate with him to get her mind off Peter.
