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?).

I believe the other dudes are a bunch called the Exemplars.
They were first introduced in a 3 way crossover called The Eight Day, consisting of Iron-Man, Thor, and Spider-man, who teamed up with Xavier to fight them. Juggernaut rejected his role in the Exemplar's game and rebelled, but they came back in the 1998 Avengers series in a two part called The Ninth Day.
They were defeated by snapping them out of the mind control that made them perform their duties as Exemplars, and as far as I know, they ain't been seen since.
One Strip! One Strip!A reminder that once upon a time, Peter Parker wanted to punch everyone's face in.
In the end, he was never quite able to bring himself to do it, was he?
One Strip! One Strip!Peter still has the appeal of simplicity at least.
Like Miles is just an endless parade of bullshit where people masquerade their adoration of the character as "growth" under the justification that Miles deserves to become a lightning god.
Peter though is straightforward with his acrobatic fighting style and you can't really beat the classics in this case.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Also Peter has a great rogues gallery.
Who exactly is supposed to be Miles's Green Goblin? Doc Ock?
I do hear they revived Prowler, but who else does he have?
Even worse in Gwen's case, since all she has are evil cosplayers and Matt Murdock.

"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"Really Miles just needs time to develop his own rogues gallery. It might take a while but if he keeps getting enough books he can get there by getting a writer with some big ideas.
Though maybe dial down the crossovers. I think half of his current run is tie-ins, its too many fucking forced event inclusions.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I was anticipating the byline reveal and I was still shook anyway.
