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?).

It happened in the just as bad Sins Remembered...infront of MJ
So for the record Spidey being the kids' father out of the question because pre marital sex is bad and kids age Peter too much.
But Gwen cheating on Peter with her future killer and one of those rapidly aged kids ends up being attracted to Peter totally cool/s
This is why I will forever thank Spencer for that retcon
Nah if I blame OMD for all future crappy Spider-Man stories (hence why it's at the top of the list)
Then I'm holding Sins Past to the same standard as it came from the same backwards editorial decisions from Joe Quesada
The fact it took over ten years to be retconned speaks to how much damage it did to Gwen Stacy's character that shows like Spectacular Spider-Man and TASM movies had to fix before Spider-Gwen gave a version of Gwen Stacy some presence in comics again.
I feel bad for JMS. It's weird how his run would probably be one of the most acclaimed of the modern age...if it wasn't weighed down by two of the worst spiderman stories ever that were just hoisted on him by editorial.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Why they didn't do this. I dunno? It wound help void the biggest issues. And fans wouldn't have had anywhere near as much issues.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Hence why Gold Goblin was a bad idea.
You can have Norman in prison and remorseful but don't make him into a hero.
Actually give back Mayday and let Peter be a father.
Heck at this point I wonder how MJ would react to the news her still born daughter is actually alive and now with Peter.
Would she still put priority over her adopted kids w/Paul or demand Peter give her Mayday because "he's a mess"
....Actually knowing Marvel it would definitely be the latter.
Plus Gwen and Harry actually dated in the past so it would make some sense she would try to comfort him while he's hit rock bottom with his alchohal and drug addiction.

Gold Golbin might be a dumb idea but I enjoyed it way more than what I've seen of Well's run.
Like fuck it, Norman's struggles are a lot more compelling than whatever the hell's going on with Peter.
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"More from Amazing Spider-Man#26 just leaked
Win Back the Crowd: The kids are gone, Paul goes to collect them and they vanish in his arms. They really were just mystical chains created by Rabin

I'd still put one more day first. It's managed to singly handily derail 20 years of spiderman stories. Like now it just weirdly hangs over each one. We wouldn't have this Damn stupid run without it.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
