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.

Yeah I've read the latest issues but they made it out that Norman now has a split personality thing going on.

With the sins, to the point evil Norman can't remember things good Norman did and that tips off Ms. Marvel.

They're not even hiding it, do they?

And those rumours we heard from that retailer whistleblower seem to be spot on (that we'd get a 'bridging' series)

The press release for "Eight Deaths" also indicates John Romita Jr is staying with Amazing Spider-Man afterwards

First issue of Spider-Man: Reign 2 is out, comments seems to be split between talking about Miles and jokes about a certain infamous fluid from the previous series

Wait, I thought Contaminated Bodily Fluids Spider-Man was dead? Bludgeoned with MJ's tombstone by Morlun's galoot brother, right? I remember because that scene was commonly cited as evidence that Dan Slott was intentionally spiting the fans.

I think one or another Spider-Verse thing restored the fallen. Why would they actually write another Reign story, on the other hand is beyond me.

I thought it only restored those morlun killed.

[up][up] Cause Miles.

They are doing the thing where they are replicating every major Spidey story at least once with him.

Nah. I think their now leaning on people hate reading spider man. Hence why they hyped this as the sequel to the most infamous spider man story off all time.

Eh. Infinite multiverse. This Reign Peter liked wearing a slightly redder shade of red spider suit.

Oh End of the Spider-Verse had all the previously killed spider men in the previous stories brought back to life.

So it's not as weird as it sounds.

Still my point stands, Marvel has waaaaaaaay more multiverses than DC hanging around.

I hope Princess Petra gets a part 3 (and conclusion) to her story.

Do you ever think we'll get One More Day with Mile-

Oh right, Miles did make a bargain with Mephisto.

At least Miles had to deal with some consequences from it and knows about the deal, compared to Peter who the editorial goes out of their way to keep him from confronting it.

[up] Mephisto was probably going to offer Kaine a deal, but then he decided the universe itself was already dedicated to fucking with Kaine and there was nothing he could do to make it worse.

Interesting fact about new ASM co-writer Justina Ireland is she's also the director of logistics and weapon systems support for the U.S navy

She's Also a YA writer. So credit where it's due. That's quite the diverse list of accomplishments.

Huh, there was a poster here who is a military man.

Wonder what he’d think of the co-writer.
