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.

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.

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.

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.

You ever wonder how Mayday would deal somehow ending up in the new Ultimate universe?

Like would she go and find her parents in this dimension?

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

I'd like to see her interactions with May in this timeline since she's the one closest to Peter's career compared to her brother.

Cover for the upcoming fan made Spider-Girl revival

Just waiting on the pages to be fully lettered before uploading the full thing. Only Page 1 and the short back-up story are done at the moment.

(and yes, I know April killed Hobby, I don't want to spoil how he's back obviously)grin

And speaking of Spider-Girl, today marked the debut of the brand new 616 version over in Spider-Boy!

She has Barbed wire webbing

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!

Do we know what the Gwen Goblin's whole deal is yet?

I'm still morbidly curious.

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!

That's so fucking stupid, it might go all around to based.

If they are brave enough to have this Aunt May be the one from Trouble.

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.

Hopefully anyone else spins a tale and we keep something down on who had what tale to see if anyone actually predicts the backstory if one is shown for her.
