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?).

Iron Fist and Colleen Wing were only briefly a couple. Misty really was his iconic love interest. They've been off-and-on since pretty early in Danny's history.
Colleen's never had a particularly major romance with anyone. She dated one of the Sons of the Tiger, but those guys are largely forgotten. It genuinely feels like the greatest love of her life is Misty.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.Makes it sad that Danny and Misty haven't been together for a while. Misty has been currently dating Sam Wilson for a while now and Danny has been demoted to being in the background for the time being cause of the new Iron Fist.
I mean currently, Gwen hasn't really had a series of that comparable length in a while now.
I like how people hate paul and Peter's Badass Decay so much. Their rooting for Evil Peter to actually murder him.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."And the new Iron Fist has been demoted to the background because its Lin Lie and he is the man who constantly fails to catch on with an audience!

Just a reminder that we have a general Marvel thread
, so this one's supposed to stay on-topic with Spider-Man.
Okay I'm not familiar with Iron Fist or Shang-Chi but surely he would be a good character to succeed the title? He's already pretty well established, it feels like a no brainer like makin Carol Captain Marvel
Though I guess it would shrink their Asian rep compared to having an Asian Iron Fist and Shang Chi as an independent character.
They have no connection though, its not really a Carol case cause she was always connected to the original Mar-Vell.
Shang-Chi meanwhile has no relation to Kun-Lun and has more of his own wheelhouse as a super spy martial artist than Iron Fist's more overt fantasy martial arts.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Death of the venomverse #5 ended carnage won. He took out an alternate knull and became a king in black and then slaughtered more venom including Anne's Dylan and she then sent all the venom back to their universes but its implied some like kid venom are gonna go to 616. So now we wait for carnage try to take down Eddie and maybe reunite with cletus
I mean, she is.
One of his biggest loves, and his failure to rescue her was a defining defeat.
They may have done an extremely poor job of convincing some people that Gwen was the girl Peter would have been with, but that's how it would have been if Stan had kept writing.
MJ is the one now, but back then, it was Gwen. Sure, she's been eclipsed in popularity by MJ (and her own alternate universe self), but she's super important to Peter's life.
One Strip! One Strip!I think Gerry Conway himself noted that killing her would allow Marvel to pretend she was more important than she really was and make her the saint love interest who Peter could never really stop thinking and how MJ would always look inferior to her.

"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"

Legit didn't know this but then again Iron Fist was my least known NYC hero so I always assumed Collen Wing was his only love interest.
