Besides being a little silly (which, fair enough, comics) it's got the Shazam problem. Inside, everyone's going to call her Spider-Woman.

It'd be like calling the new run of Captain America "FalconCap". Everyone's gonna call Sam that, so why not?

Halfway there, we need four more Smash Bros. games

Anyway, with Spider-women coming out, using Spider-Woman in the title probably would've made stuff confusing, so i'm all for Spider-Gwen. Now we just need to convince Marvel to change it to Captain Falcon and Captain Falcon & The Mighty Avengers.

Marvel probably doesn't want to confuse idiots with two Spider-Woman books.

Though I guess with Silk getting an ongoing too there's going to be three ongoings with woman of the spidery persuasion, and two of them might even be good!

Maybe it'll get renamed once the actual Spider-Woman series last less than 10 issues. They've really built themselves into a corner with that book.

All Morlun stuff is mostly staying with Slott, so all the bad stuff's nicely fit together while the rest is alternate Spider-people having little adventures, that much owns.

Sp//der was the most anime poo poo ever right down to her having the window seat in class, I loved it. The cameos were amusing too.

Shame she'll probably die or at least won't get an ongoing because they have Spider-Gwen already (which I didn't think was particularly great).

Is this really going to be a thing? Please say yes.

I generally enjoyed Edge of Spider-Verse, especially this one, but all of them except the Spider-Gwen one had the problem where they started telling a story, then abruptly veered into the less interesting crossover plot. I wouldn't have minded spending two or three more issues in that weird Marvel-meets-Gainax world.

Yeah, Spider-Gwen was pretty much 'here's a pilot issue, and also a panel of crossover at the end'.

And best NGE/Marvel crossover was when Adam Warren decided to mash-up the cast of NGE with the FF for one of the Marvel manga things.

"One story in "Spider-Verse Team-Up" sees Miles Morales and the Spidey from the current "Ultimate Spider-Man" cartoon teaming up to rescue Spider-Man from the 1960s cartoon."
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56244

This is why the main stuff with Slott leaves such a bad taste in mouth, over on that side of the crossover is "MORLUN KILLS THE SPIDEY YOU LIKE!" and over on the tie-in side so far it's "Look at these different Spideys having adventures in their interesting universes, ending on meeting more Spideys to team-up with!"

The one where Reed explains to the girl in his bed that his power is to stretch his brain, making more connections, therefore letting him think faster? Because the Spider-Man manga with Yu Komori was better than that. 22 blank pages would have been better than that.

You realise basically the whole thing was a joke, right? (Hell, most of Warren's work is pretty tongue-in-cheek) And really, the brain stretching thing is too much for you? I'm fairly sure that's been used in mainstream FF books occasionally.

You misunderstood me. Reed's brain stretching was the part that I liked. It was everything else that was the problem. And I actually read Empowered for a few volumes. With my pants on, even.

The beginning of JMS' run on Spider-Man was what got me into the comics, particularly the entire debut arc with Morlun. It had some stupid stuff in it (like that line of dialogue that showed they'd forgotten Ben Reilly existed,) but it really impressed me and I came away liking Morlun.

Having said that, now that the rest of the Inheritors are apparently a thing, I wouldn't particularly mind if the only one of them who ever appeared in a comic again after this arc was Bora. That scene in ASM 8 where she ate the Spider-Tabby was the only fun thing about that half of the issue.

SP//dr was one of those comics like Spider-Gwen where I enjoyed it tremendously and reread it a few times. I think the professional relationship Peni had with Anime-Daredevil was my favorite part. I would happily read a miniseries if one were released.

Also, looking through the plot synopses of old What If comics, I noticed that Vol. 2 #31 ended on Mary Jane giving birth to a cosmic Mayday. I wonder if that one is dead yet.

Was that the last issue? I've been dreading the end of Superior Foes for months and that seemed quite final yet I could see it going for one more issue.

I just love Superior Foes; just the idea that Marvel's New York is so full of different criminal organizations to double cross and fight each other was amazing and that scene between MACH IV and Tony Stark was hilarious. I miss the old school Thunderbolts and I would love a comedy take on that team.

EDIT: Just read Edge of Spider-Verse; SP//dr is one cool idea. I don't care much about anime, but Evangelion inspired Spider-Girl with Anime Daredevil as sidekick is very interesting concept. I fear that the more interesting Spider-People are gonna end up eaten by Morlun and we'll lose out on very cool concepts

I'd say SP//dr is safe because of Gerard Way and Marvel would love to have him do more for them, so wouldn't kill off the first character he created for them. And we know Spider-Gwen is safe too.

Well minis don't really seem to exist anymore for Marvel beyond the rare one here or there. They seem to like going the "maxi-series disguised as an ongoing unless it does well" route.

Next to last. Final issue is next month and has a neat cover that includes Spencer, Lieber, Rachelle Rosenberg (on a poster) and most importantly Boxcat.

I have no clue how Avengers World is but I've liked Superior Foes enough that I'm willing to give Spencer a chance on Ant-Man.
