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.

We can always hope a good writer will get him and turn a good story out of that development.

Sorta curious. But do you think the writers /editors are aware this run will go down in comic history as one of the worst. Like brought up decades after its over like one more day and clone saga.

Even clone sage honestly wasn't this bad?

I mean, this isn't remotely as bad as either this, Sins Past, or One More Day.

The only thing memorable about it is Kamala's death and that got reversed in a day.

The worst part of this run is it's BORING and unfun.

Yeah, when Norman Osborn turning into a good guy because of a magic sin eating shot gun is the highlight of this run and the story starring him wasn't written by Wells, something is def wrong.

@ 29652 It's already on the Horrible.Comic Books page, specifically the arc with Kamala's death. (Not even the art was good, and at least OMD had good art.)

She'll be back soon I bet.

Dying in the Marvel universe is basically fleeing to another country for villains.

[up]

When Miles unlocked his 11th-Hour Superpower to shape his biolelectricity into a Laser Blade with Absurd Cutting Power, she decided to overload all of her drones and essentially attempt to bomb him to death in a Suicide Attack. So he overwhelms her machinery with her electricity first, causing her machinery to fry her to a crisp (though no body is seen).

Miles is thoroughly traumatized from being unable to talk her down and the Morales family needs to borrow a place from Misty Knight after Rabble firebombed their old apartment.

That’s fair… ish

Does Gwen have one of those? I don’t think the evil Storms count because they fell into a plot hole and they didn’t have a problem with Gwen personally, just with anyone getting more attention than them

It's the premise of her clone saga.

Where a scientist blames Gwen for her husband dying because the Sinister Six killed him. Even though she was repeatedly warned to leave the site of an ongoing super battle.

Yeah, it's the story where there are Gwen clones cosplaying as the Sinister Six.

Because this is someone's fetish.

I can't wait for 20 years later, MJ Jackpot gets her own clone saga and we see clones of her cosplaying as the X-Men and Avengers. And then Paul.

Eh, the Gwen story wasn't bad. And sending the surviving clones off to live their own lives far away from Gwen and her plot lines (as mentioned a page back) was done in a very knowing way.
