So Morlun's Dad was just...a big bad guy? That was really dissapointing. I don't dislike Morlun that much, but his whole family is very boring. Still, I kind of liked the interaction of the Spider-people, I guess that since there's less of them, the issues are less of a mess.

The A-May-Zing Spider-Aunt was great. I want a whole Spider-man comic with Gale Atkinson's art.

About to start reading that, though just finished the first story "Can't Help Myself" and boy I kinda needed that right now  there's something about a hero being too heroic for his own good that's always gonna make me smile.The whole annual was awesome.

I've never found a Dr. Bong appearance to be unwelcome. His guest issues in the old Deadpool comic are some of my favorite in the whole series.

Avenging had some fun little team ups (and that great May story with the worst art ever) but nothing i'd say "this is an amazing 616 Peter Parker story" No idea what the other story is, but i'm very interested.

The Avenging story with Captain America was fantastic. So were the Captain Marvel team-up issues.

The Black Lodge from 700.3 and 700.4 of Amazing with the supervillain equivalent of Night Nurse has to be one of the best Spider-Man stories I've read in the past decade.

So is it bad that I kind of liked Spider-Woman this week? Silk is still terrible, but I had fun reading the comic, which was more than I could say about the last issue.

I don't know, Spider-Woman guessing booty call when interacting with some random guy who knew that Earth's Jessica, as well as Morlun apparently being married to that universe's Jessica with a full page kiss, is still pretty sexual regardless of who is writing it. The Spider-Woman I've read about in Avengers Assemble and Bendis' solo book probably would've said gently caress this poo poo halfway through the book and started knocking some heads around.

Nah I'm sure they are definitely not going to be defeated but will instead take over the book as it's renamed to the Superior Morlun.

Since people were talking about Spider-Woman as of issue 5 Land doesn't appear to be around anymore and she has a new costume.   Still Hopeless on words though. quote:A new story arc kicking off in Spider-Woman No. 5 and illustrated by Javier Rodriguez will find Jessica Drew focusing on helping folks in New York City in a more street-level way rather than dealing with the planet-threatening likes of, say, the Red Skull. Hopeless feels it goes back to her roots in the '70s when Spider-Woman started out simply wanting to solve one problem at a time and had a stint as a private detective. source

I like that suit and its design, but I am getting a 'new Batgirl' vibe off it, an d I can't help but think that's exactly what Marvel is trying to do.

Well hopefully that means Land is staying off the book cos trying a Batgirl book with him on it would be hilarious. I don't hate the costume but it's not very Jessica either, it looks as what I'd imagine a Young Avenger Spider-Woman to look like.

That is completely them doing their take on Batgirl, but it means getting rid of Spider-Woman's awful current costume so that is just fine.

Yeah, it definitely feels like they're "Batgirling" her up. It's a good design though, even if I agree that it doesn't seem like something Jessica would wear.

It does look like a Young Avengers thing, like something a teenage Hero would wear. It reminds me of Kate Bishop/Hawkeye. If this was a new character taking on the Spider-Woman mantel, it would make more sense.

The Batgirl inspiration's clear, but my first thought was the short-lived Wonder Woman redesign from the JMS run just before the New 52.

That art style makes her look like 12 years younger than Bendis wrote her (meaning pretty much the majority of when she appeared in the last 30 years). The costume's a step up, though.

I like the old costume. It's kind of dumb superhero tacky. I wish they'd kept the mask at least. Not really a fan of that design, I agree it's not very Jessica.

Since it was pointed out to me it is very much an (old) Arana costume, especially the goggles. Also Jessica's new goggles expand out to small bit more like her old mask (but still look dumb). Waterhaul fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Well it's also throwing goggles on her to resemble spider eyes, de-aging her like 10 years to the point where if it was actually a new Arana costume it wouldn't look out of place.

Don't tease me with ideas like that. The costume is boring but Jessica Drew is boring and only stays around through a grandfather character clause so it works.

So aside from yellow lenses that looks nothing like the Arana costume. At all.
