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?).

The Head of the Hydra
Just for awareness -
Ultimate Spider-Man #2 got a simultaneous release as a 'free' Infinity Comic webcomic on Marvel Unlimited.
(I.e. bundled with the MU subscription)
Which usually means Marvel either see it as a big success or it's underperforming and they're trying to make it one — I think we know which applies here.
Wait does this mean I get the digital issue before America? If so that almost makes up for the fact that I still can't get a physical copy of issue 1 anywhere
Anyway, just read it now. I'm enjoying this.
I was hoping we wouldn't get Peter keeping things from MJ, and I hope he does tell her soon like he said he would here. I really like Jonah's dialogue, he's amusing me so far, and it looks like Peter is still going to be taking photos of himself for the Bugle. Was also amused by Peter getting duped by Shocker and immediately blowing his cover to May.
One thing I note is that there is so far no sign that Peter has a spidey-sense. I hope this version isn't completely without it, it's such an iconic ability of his.

Yeah, there's no doubt it's been a hit. I'm mostly comparing it to Hickman's G.O.D.S., which had a lot of hype and is getting the same treatment in MU, but probably for the other reason...
You say that, but just wait 'til Hickman introduces Ultimate Paul in a few issues time. I mean, if he does, that would be epic trolling.
Hmm. Maybe he's the Shocker.

Spider-boy #4. Bailey now has his own clone boy-spider. He was made by mixing up what was taken from Bailey to add his spider stuff in, and what was left of the spider that was used for him along with protoplasm for the mass. He makes Bailey look bad but Bailey lets him go because he can tell boy-spider didn't want to do this, and then tells Peter, miles, and Christina hes done with all of them for thinking he could be rampaging around in monster form. The backup gives us boy-spiders origin and why he has a reversed colors, and we see baileys mom, Tabitha briggs is a cat woman working as a maid for madame monstrosity
Just read this scan from
Ultimate Spider-Man #2.
He's definitely going to hunt him to the ends of the earth now.
Wasn't he the guy that got Venom after Eddie auctioned off the symbiote but before Scorpion got it?
