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?).

Huh, been seeing speculation Spencer may have been pushed out of the company altogether for his anti-OMD views. Ordinarily I'd feel that's vilifying editorial a bit too much, but his final issue of Spider-Man IS the literal last thing he wrote for Marvel, and writers of A-list books don't typically just vanish like that even after their run ends - Geoff Johns worked at DC for many years after his Green Lantern concluded, for instance.
Huh. So I was checking out some more issues of Uncanny Spider-Man on Scans Daily
.
Has Spidey never fought Mystique before?
One Strip! One Strip!I think Orchis laced the Krakoa drugs with murder drugs to frame the mutants and establish a pretext to introduce their hot new Iron Mutant Smasher Sentinels.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIt makes it look like the mutants of Krakoa had a secret evil scheme with all the drugs they sell
Forever liveblogging the AvengersKrakoa was distributing drugs to prevent dementia and extend lifespan, as part of their effort to establish the new mutant nation.
The anti-mutant extremists of Orchis managed to tamper with the supply and used this to blackmail Krakoa. To prove they were serious they activated the hidden payload in some of the humans who'd taken them.
'd.

Huh. I must have forgotten that.
Then again, I feel like a lot of other Marvel heroes don't like Peter lately either.
Like, there was a recent Comic with Sam Wilson where Sam caught him while he was falling, but then wanted to drop him.
Pete's snark has really tried the last nerves of a vast majority of his fellow heroes I think.
One Strip! One Strip!None of them noticed that Doc Ock replaced him.
That's how little they care about Spider-Man. Hell most of them fall hook line and sinker for Kingpin's scheme to alienate Spider-Man.
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"Spider writing undermines the rest of the verse so he can be the most put upon boy
It’s like Captain America shoving the runaways into various homes without doing any checking into them or caring that a bunch of kids with powers and super tech all just lost their parents
Necessary to make the Runaways’ dumb thing work and out of character for Cap
Spider writers want to write him alienated by the heroes so he’ll hang out with Boomerang more so the other heroes look like idiots
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Where did that happen?
