Those were some severe plot swerves. I mean, Spider-Man's known for his ADHD sometimes, but drat. Do all the Original Sin tie-ins kick it up to spastic that quickly, or is it just Slott being Slott?

drat, did that issue loving suck. Peter wasn't that bad but Spider-Man being a self centered jagoff at a supposedly end of the world scenario was hard to read.

They really should rename her to "Mary -Sue".

I love how Slott also purposely emphasized things like "there's no way I could have avoided that slap!"

Definitely the latter. I mean, everybody and their grandma knows Parker Industries is going to fail miserably but it feels like even Slott decided "WELP I'M DONE WITH THIS" and is just trying to tank it by having Peter blatantly be as terrible a boss as possible at every possible moment until his company either flops or his employees get so tired of his bullshit they all simultaneously quit.

This. I felt like I was reading some crappy manga. I don't hate Slott but I think it has been enough of him on ASM, we need a new writer, Marvel has many good ones, they should let Slott finish this thing and then get us a new writer (art was OK)

I read it as some sort of "we don't get along but our powers make us wanna fuuuuuuuuuuuuck" thing. Based off of their total lack of chemistry, and Morlun's comments from his suite on Barsoom. I expect this is going to be a nuanced examination of compulsive sexual behavior and this storyline will be Spidey's "Demon in a Bottle"

This was literally my first thought on seeing the character design.

Diversity requirements (almost) fulfilled:

Peter Parker + clones: vanilla white spider-mans
Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter: white, female spider-mans
Miles Morales: Black/Latino spider-mans
Anya Corazon: female Latina spider-mans
Cindy Moon: Asian (Korean) female spider-mans

I guess the only one left is a male Asian spider-mans

edit: also a black female spider-mans

That comic was offensively bad...

At least she'll be dead in a year or less and no one will speak of her ever again.

Also, am I the only person who really doesn't like the art? It's got too many straight lines and angles and just is unpleasant for me to look at...

This is part of the plan. Her spin off will be like Gen 13 original series. "Oh no! My clothing has dissolved!" And then Slott will cackle and Land will be on the book he has been training for all this time.

Nope. I usually kind of like Ramos, and a little cheesecake is fine, but EVERY SHOT of Silk is down her shirt or up her rear end, and when she webs up, it somehow gets worse.

Having had a night to sleep on it, this is, once again, Slott having solid idea with poo poo execution.

I really find that the idea of a Spider-Person with extensive control over their natural webbing a cool concept.

I don't trust Slott to explore this and the hamhanded LET US BONE scene at the end. Ugh.

Wait, she was supposed to be Asian? I must have missed the name and I totally didn't get that from the art. Looking at it now, I guess I can see it, but man those faces are horrible. It's hard to tell ethnicity when everyone looks like they're rabid.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. They feel like dirty, quick sketches that they decided to add color to instead of actually finishing the sketch.

I just don't think he can draw people. Slott's writing was, for me, worse than usual. The line about him not dodging the slap because she was so fast...really?

Dacap posted:

Not anymore. :v: Green Goblin destroyed the suit as of the most previous two episodes. He's just kind of...there now. I don't care what kind of BS speech Spider-Man gave him...he's 100% useless in battle and ended up having to run for his life many times.

I remember Marvel being so cautious about introducing Miles, like "our readers are diverse, so our characters should be too", "Miles is not a stereotype" and then we finally get an Asian Spider-character and she's all ninja mask and ninja rear end.

If everybody over at Marvel could maybe avoid screwing this up that would be delightful, because I'm now finding it really hard not to actually get excited.

I'm just scared. I just don't want to be hurt again, Spider-man.
