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?).

Anti Venom predates Knull by a good 5 years or so yet now has about the same number of appearances in adaptations.
But despite arguably being an easier sell to audiences Anti Venom still hasn't made the big screen debut. Or Agent Venom for that matter.
So yeah that's kinda cool for Knull.
#IceBearForPresidentA "white symbiote that kills other symbiotes" is an easier explanation than "primordial God of the dark who created symbiotes to kill everything". Don't even need to get into the finer details of their relationships with Lightforce or Captain Universe/Anti-All.
Relatively speaking of course. This is comics.

#IceBearForPresidentNo matter how good the movie is, Knull is gonna get hit by the adaptational nerf bat. There's simply not enough time to have him kill Eddie twice and introduce all the captain universe enigma force stuff.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThey are saving Spidey for actually good movies, they already announced another Holland film. Be thankful they aren't putting him in the purely Sonyverse stinkers. This is the only thing where Peter Parker has good fortune, do you want it ruined?
Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.I randomly remembered a holiday comic
where
Spider-Man fought Mephisto to save The Angel Of Christmas.

The Protomen enhanced my life.Andi's new design
, which looks like a very awkward mix of Mania, Agent Venom, and Scream/Silence.
Sonic and Spider-Man have a long tradition of sharing archetypes of wisecracking heroes, rotund villains who excel at robotics, convoluted plans involving lots of variants of the same people/designs, and really awkward anti-sex abuse public service announcements that became memes.
Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.Yeah. Flash is basically a disembodied ghost puppeting a Grendel symbiote, and is bonded to his own skeleton. He has no real flesh, it's all symbiote matter wrapped around bones. Also the Grendel itself is still conscious, it just kinda lets Flash take the wheel unless something pisses it off enough to reassert control.
I love comics.
#IceBearForPresidentSo kinda like that 'What If' where Spider-Man stayed possessed and was just a puppeteered skeleton by the end.

The Protomen enhanced my life.Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
There are like 4 different what ifs where Spider-Man keeps the symbiote. But I do know which one you're talking about for real tho.
What if they got stuck on battleworld?
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"

I'm out of the loop here, who/what is Knull?
