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?).

From Orlando's Marvel.com interview
about Spider-Man 2099:
STEVE ORLANDO: SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN 2099 is up next [in 2024]! And it’s going to be a killer!
By that point, after this summer's crossovers, I think we might all be a bit overloaded with symbiotes.

What!? Why!?
Speaking of bad runs, this kinda reminds me of the end of the Howard Mackie run, with the whole...Gathering of Five/Final Chapter stuff.
The Protomen enhanced my life.Wolfsbane could’ve fought back but she was worried she’d accidentally kill them. Never mind that I doubt a bunch of drunken college bros could outrun a giant wolf…
Rosenberg later claimed his run was a deliberate Zero-Approval Gambit to make Krakoa seem that much more satisfying in comparison. Not sure whether I believe him or not.

It’s amazing. She’s fought so many people without accidentally killing over the years but this time she couldn’t even take the risk to try to escape
Forever liveblogging the AvengersApparently the 'Final Chapter' stuff happened cause Ralph Macchio, and Bob Harras wanted Spidey to go back to basics, and that involved bringing back Aunt May in place of baby May. They didn't want Peter as a dad, because it was their mission to end the Spider-Marriage and a baby would complicate that.
The same reasoning was behind Mary Jane apparently dying in a plane explosion.
The Protomen enhanced my life.Boy between Wolfsbane, Cap in Civil War, and Peter apparently not fighting back the mob in the Days of Future Past timeline I'm starting to get the feeling either mobs offer a multiplicative power boost in the Marvel Universe or there's a lot of people forgetting how strong and careful these people are.
That would be an interesting superpower, getting stronger in a Spontaneous Crowd Formation.
The Protomen enhanced my life.The mob stopped Cap in Civil War because of heavy handed Real Heroes first responders stuff I thought
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIn Spider-Man's case, a narrating Kitty even lamphades it, asking who would let themselves be beaten to death.
Peter definitely had a lot of ways to get away, even if he was reluctant to attack a crowd.
One Strip! One Strip!I feel like that was a case of Never Found the Body and he'll be back.
...Mainly cause the alternative is just really dumb. XD
The Protomen enhanced my life.Or murder by telepathically induced Idiot Ball, possibly. If they're lampshading it, there's probably a reason.

Can't believe Jean Grey killed Spider-Man.
I always knew she was rude.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersDOFP!Mephisto probably watched it happen while sitting back on his throne chomping popcorn.

I like I know people were joking but are marvel trying to get sell this run through hate views. It seems like they go out of their way to do aggrevating stuff.
