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.

Isn't his dad Azazel, the demon mutant from whom he got his appearance?

Cause if so, then [up], I'd say he's doing badly.

[up][up] 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.

Finished reading Misery, Poor Lilly, stuck in a coma so little chance of her getting to see Stanley anytime soon. And Liz decides to move on from grieving Harry and start a new relationship, meanwhile the Scriers plot to capture Stanley

But...holy crap, they remembered Kolina, Norman's girlfriend from 2000, turns out she's remained loyal to Norman ever since and leads the Goblin cult

[up][up] 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.

It's wild to think that we have only one more issue before this arc wraps up. No idea how they're planning to wrap this up so soon.

Oh so that's what Gang War is.

Sins Spider-Man is starting beef with all the supervillains and managed to convince a buncha other heroes to join in. [lol]

I don't think he's keeping the sins after next issue. That's the conclusion of this arc, and 36 will be about Spidey's reputation in the fallout.

Likely the sinless Spidey will have to deal with everyone's reactions to him prior to that.

Once again, we're doing the "Everyone hates Peter" arc.

I miss based Norman.

He's only got four other heroes on his team, they might be the only ones who forgive him?

Funnily enough, I was just wondering where she was after re-reading that story.

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.

Oh wait it was already discussed, lol.
