When, relative to the overall event, did you get to define Hobie as Spider-Punk/Anarchic Spider-Man? Looking at the main books, it seems like Slott was assuming he was British (he used the word 'quid' and his costume seems vaguely like Spider-UK).

I would have written the script around the end of September I think? I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that the Spider-Punk design was originally going to be Spider UK, so that may be where that came from. edit: It would have been before he was called "Brown" and ID'd as being from Earth-138 in the main title, as those were my contributions.

Has Rick Remender told you how jealous he is that you got to do Spider Punk? Seems like it would've been right up his alley. 616 Hobie Brown could use a fire lit under his rear end. I got his first appearence (Amazing #78) when I was a kid, and always wondered why they never made a bigger deal out of the Spawn looking guy.

Hobie has at times been Peter's go-to gadget guy when he didn't have a good relationship with the Avengers or when Conners was off being a Lizard. But geez I don't think Hobie has even had an on-panel appearance since Fraction's Punisher, where Puma and Spidey escorted Hobie out of the Bar With No Name before Castle blew it the gently caress up. ...and then like, three weeks later in Slott's She-Hulk, he retconned the whole thing into no criminals dying but they all got third degree burns.

Anarchic Spider-Man was amazing. I loved it and the reveal of Hobbie was even better. Now I'm gonna be upset when Slott kills him later. I liked Anansi as well. Spanish is my native language and it was very weird to read that Aracnido story; the dialogue was very very clunky and unnatural. It felt like an actual translation of the English script instead of a comic written in Spanish.

Hobie was pretty great when he was doing the "tech guy" thing. He built the Hornet suit for Peter and was fixing street level hero's gear. I'm surprised he hasn't ended up in Mighty Avengers.

That was the part that made me really confused. The only thing I can think of is that the writer thought of it in English and wrote it in Spanish and then Marvel translated it? Or the dialogue's just clunky as hell. The dialogue and the story being pretty clunky sucks because the art style and atmosphere were spot-on. And maybe I missed something, but the story didn't quite add up, Spidey's uncle ben was a luchador betrayed by scorpion > ???? > Spidey's a hero two years later saving someone's daughter from narcos that are pals with Peņa Nieto e:fb

In that case it's a native Spanish writer required to submit an English script, and either he just under wrote, or they hilariously published a translation of his English script translated into Spanish instead of his original Spanish one. Or they were working on a tight schedule and whatever language it was originally written in, it wasn't very good.

On another note, is there any kind of comic in the vein of Marvel Adventures Spidey or Mary Jane Loves Spider-man that's knocking about lately? The whole Doc Ock thing mostly left me confused so I never followed that line of events and now I'm not seeing much of a reason to jump back on.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Slott's stories in Spiderverse. It was almost like having the old Dan Slott back. Spider-Punk was great, as everyone has said. Mexican Spider-Man was meh and I hated that costume. Oddly enough, it looked great on his father when it was just a mask and tights. Adding the shirt to it made it way too busy.

Scarlet Spiders #3 Preview. Looks like Ben came out on top in Dying Wish. Interesting. I mean I know they hinted he'd gone through some of the same stuff 616 Peter did since he took over with the stealth suit thing, but weird to get that much confirmation. Between that and SpOck apparently the only Superior Spider-Man in the multiverse, does that mean every other Otto that tried that plan failed? I fear he's not going to last long.

His whole status on what being the Other means is really vague, that picture of him going full spider is ominous, and now that New Warriors is canceled, he doesn't have a series to go back to to justify keeping him alive. He's not immune from death and killing the Other seems like just the kind of "big deal last page cliffhanger" things this event has been full of.

Yeah, Kaine dies to save alt-Ben, confirming that he's a proper hero and not a bad person and living up to his Ben's example, character arc finished. Either Ben or Kaine are taking one for the team, and I'm feeling like it's everyone's favorite acerbic clone hero.

Kaine's costume is my favorite out of all the current Spiders, and to be honest, I never connected to Ben Reilly as a character at any point in history.

So far there hasn't been anyone that gets closer to the popularity and influence el Santo had (Mistico was the closer and we all know how that ended) but there's certain spikes here and there.

I will gladly sacrifice Kaine if Ben ends up staying around with the better costume but I'm pretty sure Ben will die and Mayday is going to hang around and you can't have both of them with the same costume.

He's done a good job of it so far, what with writing what 70 or so issues of just Peter (excluding the BND stories) and the 30 or so issues of Spock.
