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?).

Otto once tried to recreate the incident on purpose and kill a different police captain, just to rub Spider-Man's nose in it.

"Cynic, n. — A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be." - The Devil's DictionaryWhat does anyone think of Rachael Mc Farlane aka Haley smith’s voice actress voiceing Mary Jane Watson? I seriously think her voice for Haley would fit mj.
The Ultimate Incarnation of EvilFurther ASM spoilers ahead of tomorrow
The new 'Michelle' Peter dates is Tombstone's lawyer, and predictably they start arguing over her job. When Kraven infects Peter with the sins, he basically 'nopes' out of there right away, abruptly saying he's no longer the hunter but the hunted
Now, to do this sort of thing as soon as it starts feels a bit out of character for Kraven NORMALLY, but it's easy to put up with it when you remember this is a clone of the character
Letters pages have been selected to heap the usual praise on the team, though there's one or two in there that talk about MJ losing her kids as a 'cop out' and saying their favourite book is Spider-Girl and want Peter married to MJ.

Nah I'm gonna be as caustic as much with this run. Its crap, there are better Spidey stories rn and I will voice as such.
Plus Norman definitely should have been killed after the Clone Saga infanticide and the only reason he still breathes is because the writers firmly believe Peter with a kid is the end of his story.
Firmly cementing my belief that these guys don't want to tell a new story they just want to play with their toys for the 50th time in a row.
Norman did save the world from Veranke.
If this entire run turned out to have just been Norman's self-serving narrative of events that actually happened (where Peter was not, in fact, totally useless), would anyone really object? Aside from Zeb himself?
Now that I think about it, Felicia's the only one of Peter's classic love interests not to be victimized by Norman in some way. He killed Gwen, abducted and maybe killed MJ's baby and there's him putting Flash in a coma and causing him to lose his memory which I guess counts as hurting Betty.
What's the worst he ever did to Felicia? Maybe he does kind of like her in a way.

He heard it second-hand or is just making shit up. Or the Goblin Formula gave him psychic powers. Take your pick.

Remember folks...divorce is not okay. Deals with the Devil to erase your marriage and magically abort your child? That's all good.
