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.

Hope Bailey is ready for that. Max is a dumbass, but he's a dumbass who's been dealing with Spider-dudes for a while now. Everyone can learn from their mistakes if given enough time.

Electro was taken by surprise, that's the best way I can put it.

So I checked out the Celeste Bronfman interview and glimpsed the sneek peep pages

MJ and Paul still don't seem to be able to convey any emotion around one another but awkward tolerance. Where as when she meets Peter in costume, she's got a big smile on her face.

Apparently they're going to give Felicia a new love interest as well when the Black Cat and Jackpot mini starts up.

Wells is setting up Peter X Norman. This is the prophecy I'm spreading.

He already alienated the Felicia and Peter fans who supported the book.

Leader of the New York Thieves Guild and Felicia's frenemy and lovehate interest. She was the villain of Black Cat's solo book for a bit but she and Felicia made up and out, I think.

On the topic of Felicia's love life, she also had one date with Batroc which went really well. But both of them admitted they're too hung up on the hot but dumb heroes in their lives to have a long term relationship with each other.

Spider-Man Unlimited Renew Your Vows story update:

Guest-starring Wolverine. We find that Annie is training with him in the danger room battling ninjas, they knock her mask off and mop the floor with her, Logan turns the danger room off and asks Annie how she's doing. Annie says that although she's balancing her superhero life with school studies and repairing the web of life, she can't shake off how easy it all seemingly is at the moment, it doesn't feel right or real to her. The two eventually deal with a break-in, a woman in a black jacket and mask, but with hair that is identical to Annies', is trying to steal equipment from the Mansion. She is able to best Logan and Annie chases her off, she checks in on Logan, telling him she feels like she already knows who this is.

This issue was Annie's POV, last week was 616 and RYV Peter, I guess the next issue will focus on Spinneret

It's pretty amusing to think that Peter has mentally become Otto and then Norman at different points in his career.

[up] All he needs now for the Spidey-archvillain hat trick is to somehow become Eddie Brock.

He doesn't.

He had the Symbiote first, so Eddie arguably became him.

Electro could be a great threat as was Spiderman the Animated Series proved.

Yeah, I don't count Venom here, because at no point did Peter mentally become Eddie.

It's pretty funny how people say Doc Ock becoming Spider-Man is a crowning achievement but besides Green Goblin destroying everything Otto built, becoming the Spider who gobbles actually traumatized Peter worse than Ock.[lol]

Really, Peter is the only one who can decide who his archnemesis is

Which is why he should fuck with Otto and Norman by saying it’s Paste Pot Pete

He gives Petes a bad name!

Theoretically, it is possible since Norman Osborn ended up thinking he was Cletus Kasady after that Red Carnage bit.
