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?).

Isn't his dad Azazel, the demon mutant from whom he got his appearance?
Cause if so, then
, I'd say he's doing badly.

Though if Chris Claremont had gotten his way back in the day, Kurt would have had Mystique and Destiny as his biological parents. Azazel, IIRC, was a Chuck Austen creation, which should tell you all you really need to know about him.

I think Zebb has a strange belief that people Love to Hate Norman Osborn when I think he's closer to X-Pac Heat.

People love to hate Willam Dafoe's Norman.
Comic Norman hasn't been beloved since his resurrection in the clone saga. With stories like Sins Past and Dark Reign putting him in memeic molester and villan sue territory.
Why else do you think the movies have only adapted his first run as a villan and nothing else.
Marvel have released more detail about Gang War
.
"General Spidey at the helm"
Pak writing the Shang-Chi tie-in gives me some hope. I was a bit worried they'd throw all of the recent status quo changes out again.

The Protomen enhanced my life.Gang War is interesting, though having Jenn on the team means that unless they should manage to clean this up pretty quick.
Now of Spidey's foes have anyone in the Hulk tier.
