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 mean, I checked the ratio, there are more scenes of Jameson and Ben solving stuff, than Peter and MJ talking about being a super hero has affected their life.
Look I get that this is a slow burn, and I don't even hate the stuff with Jameson and Ben, but I get the feeling that Hickman prefers writing Jameson and Ben over Peter and his family. He just seems to have a better flow in those scenes.
I still want a scene where Peter's son actually talks to him about super hero stuff in an in depth way.
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"Video from the panel of Joe Kelly talking about married life with Peter and how it's less dramatic than when he's struggling with love
Also says ASM#65 is a big relationship issue for him.
Probably
Everytime Mayday ends up anywhere, she tends to run into her local dad so she can have Feelings about him not knowing her
Then again the Earth X May kidnapped MC 2 Mayday and they just all hung out as a family, with Peter bemoaning having to deal with twice the sass
Forever liveblogging the AvengersCover for the upcoming fan made Spider-Girl revival

Spider Society this week
Anya's feeling pretty down because she got all the Spiders captured, this was her chance to prove she could be more than just another Spider-Girl in the multiverse and she blew it. Spider-Punk gives a motivational speech to encourage her, and she suddenly kisses him!

Spider-Girl’s also the protege of Bullseye, and blames Bailey for turning her into Spider-Girl. I still dislike Spider-Girl’s costume, feels cheap to me, and also Spider-people always wear skintight spandex. It’s kind of the whole thing for them, considering they’re all acrobats.
I kind of get why she’s not, as a preteen girl in Spandex might not be the best idea. Although Bailey’s in spandex, so I think they just got lazy with the design.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!This is comic books, you can make up whatever insane bullshit you need to make Trouble Aunt May into a supervillain Madame Web.
Like, okay, I can spin a tale right now: Mephisto upon sensing the birth of Baby Peter in that dimension goes about trying to ruin Aunt May's life by making it so she gets exposed for having an affair and having to raise baby Peter after getting kicked out by her supposedly fundamentalist parents.
And then her mutant powers kick in at this exact moment. Then things happen. you guys can fill in the blanks.
Though come to think of it, I don't actually know the deal is with evil Aunt Madame Web.

"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"

I think you're overexaggerating how much focus it has.
Its just a running subplot in the book sure but this only an issue that happens to give them some more spotlight than usual.
