Spider-Man General Discussion

Go To

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?).

     Original Thread OP 
Since everyone likes talking about him. I know little about him(Ironically,I got nearly all I know about him from a Batman thread),but he's apparently important so I made this thread. Enjoy.

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.

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.

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.

At this point the poor quality of spider-man stories is due to the fact they can't stop printing them

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

Apparently 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.

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 mob stopped Cap in Civil War because of heavy handed Real Heroes first responders stuff I thought

In Spider-Man and Wolfsbane's case it was just being depressing for the sake of it even if they are highly capable and justified to break their shit.

In 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.

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

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.

That's not possible spoilers for Death Battle and current X Men. She was killed by Moira and Raven. She won't be back for a while.

If Days of Future Past Spidey's life was as lousy as 616 Spidey's is...he may have allowed himself to beaten for the sweet release of death...
