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... Steve's dead, the mysterious and murderous new "Captain Krakoa" is also impersonating Steve, and our team of heroes have a Mole in Charge manipulating them?
(Humor Mode. Mostly)
That 'what if Ben Grimm found the symbiote' is interesting. Does that mean Spidey actually used the costume machine?
The Protomen enhanced my life.From marvel.com:
"Breakout hero" Bailey, aka Spider-Boy, gets a story
in the new Edge of Spider-Verse mini.

NO.
I mean, It's very unlikely to be permanent, and may just lead into a resurrection that closer aligns her powers to the MCU version. But what a message that sends right now, not least because she's one of the prominent characters for AAPI heritage month.
Are they going to end up wiping Peter's brain and restoring him from backup Stark-style, just so they can distance him from any blame?

Oh god. I think I have to sit down.
No wonder Marvel warned Wells not to go to any cons after ASM #26...
Nothing's sacred.
Wait, what's the message? That nothing is sacred and everyone is expendable or Zeb Wells might be misogynistic and racist?
WOOOOOOOW.
And the award for Worst Sense of Horrible Timing goes to... Zeb Wells apparently.

Because killing MJ would've been too obvious?
Seriously, if Zeb Wells' plan was to have all of the Marvel community chase him to the ends of the Earth, this is probably going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Like, I legit think people will be like "I'm done" over this.

Also, I suspect everyone here knows, but just to confirm, as this leaked twist is Quite A Thing, if true -
The mods have previously advised that we can talk about leaks on forums if we're using spoiler tagging, but please don't mention any detail without tagging, or add it to any pages (including WMG etc.), as that breaks the guidelines and might get folk in trouble.

I mean, if the leaked death is correct, I fully expect that Kamala will be back in time for The Marvels. But there's still going to be quite a backlash if it goes that way.
Edit: Wells is also one of the writers of The Marvels, isn't he?
I can make some guesses as to the new CLASSIFIED miniseries now, though.
Edited by Mrph1 on May 16th 2023 at 1:10:43 PM
If it comes to that, I might actually foam at the mouth. Because having a POC lead replaced by a white lead has some really bad implications.
But actually. It hits me that because Kamala was an intern for Oscorp, what if they peg this on Norman, thus getting him back on the road to being the OG Green Goblin again?

Mary Jane as a ghostly, undead superhero, maybe? Joking. Mostly.
