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.

Peter and Harry being a team in the same way Ben and Jonah are is a really neat little dynamic.

I'm surprised no one has commented that we see more of Jameson and Ben being a couple more than we see Peter and MJ being a couple.

I imagine that will change as the story goes, but it is a funny observation.

I guess people ARE THAT starved for Peter X MJ content.

I mean, looking at who's on the cover, it's possible he's a heroic spider-goblin this time. But, even so, why do the previous storyline if this is your big arc?

My first thought was "is Paul going to finally be thrown off a bridge this time?"

Here's a guess I saw: we would have gotten something done with the idea back then, but Zeb had to cut the story short then due to Gang War cutting in around that time. Now that Gang War's done, he could go on with the arc like nothing happened.

I legitimately thought this was a fanmade joke or faked to cause outrage when I first saw it until I found it on the official twitter

Genuinely the most baffled I've been by this run

This was described as "a climax" not sure if that means the end of the run, however.

God damn, Zeb at least wait for MORE THAN A YEAR before recycling ideas!

Did he seriously think nobody would notice or what?
