I don't think Tom DeFalco is a good writer or should be anywhere on a book post 1999 but there isn't inherently anything wrong with the character if they were given a good creative them and a relevant supporting cast.

DeFalco and Frenz don't really have a say in who writes Marvels characters and McKeever hasn't done anything good in years. Really there's no reason the Silk or Spider-Gwen* ongoings couldn't have just been a Spider-Girl book with the same creative team. I'd say the same with the upcoming "mini" relaunch of Spider-Woman *Other than the fact that Spider-Gwens costume is way better. The only thing stopping Spider-Girl from advancing is people refusing to let the 90's go.

JediTalentAgent posted:I'm not sure how big a thing it is/was in reality, though. Lucha libre is real life comics: quote:One of Santo's greatest matches was in 1952, when he fought a tag-team known as Los Hermanos Shadow (which consisted of famed luchadors Blue Demon and the Black Shadow). Santo beat and unmasked Black Shadow in the ring, which triggered Blue Demon's decision to become a técnico, as well as a legendary feud between Blue Demon and Santo that culminated in Santo's defeat in a well-publicized series of matches in 1952 and again in 1953. Although they appeared together in a number of action/adventure films, their rivalry never really ended in later years since Santo always remembered his defeat at Blue Demon's hands

And during the early 00's, and before being rebooted in the 90's, and during the 80's, and during the 70's, and... The only time Peter hasn't been manchild was the period where he was technically still a child.

Stretching the definition of manchild a bit here. Though the early 2000's are basically still the reboot era so I don't know why they should be stated as two different times.

Not really. The book was rebooted in the 90's and Ben replaced him. He was brought back and Ben was killed and then the book was rebooted again in the early 00's with MJ getting "killed" so he could be single for a while.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Ben... Also I guess Ben Reilly might not be dead? We never saw his body and his last thought was 'I think there's a way out of this'... Not to mention the rather antimclimatic Jobbing of Solus to Kaine, who then gets jobbed in turn. What?! Solus ate Captain Universe & fragged Leopardon, while Kaine couldn't defeat Daemos at the outset even with him channeling the Other, and now boom, he's just drops Solus immediately?. And then Morlun kills(?) Kaine, who just killed the aforementioned guy who ate Captain Universe. A little consistency would be nice. Also: Silk is terrible and Spider-Gwen uncharacteristically enables her stupidity. Then freaking Spider-Ock is the one to talk Spider-Ben into action-dammit, that's the one thing 616 Peter could do that none of the alternate Spideys in the vault could, since they weren't Peter Parker, and Slott STILL gives SpOck the job! Then Slott shoves in the hackneyed 'THE DIE IS CAST' meme the internet was so fond of, only for Peter to steal the Amazing Friends' catchphrase. And we're off to the final battle we've already seen in Spider-Verse #2. Ugh. I get the feeling Slott wanted to do a big last hurrah of the Spiders, but he's rather epically fumbled the ball.

I run a Spider-Man panels blog, where I post my favorite panels from the comics as I read through them. I just got to issue #66. Which is gonna be really cool for me because I actually own the copy, and it is also signed by Mr. John Romita himself!

The other Japanese Spidermen were the ones who helped Supaidaman, May doesn't wanna know anything about him, Spiderpunk respects Superior more, Spider UK was the one helping Spiderman India, the Scarlet Spiders did their own thing (same as Miguel), Spider Gwen (stupidly) supported Silk and the one thing Peter should've done (getting uncle Ben back on the game) was done by Spock. The fact that as soon Peter got involved everything went to poo poo doesn't help either.

Um...he's still the protagonist that the readers are likely too be most familiar with, and he's done nothing than literally any other Spider could do. Why is he even here? There's two things he, specifically, could have done within the context of the story (convince Ben to join the fight and ID the inheritors' weakness to radiation) that Slott instead gives to his own pet characters. The nearest analogy to this I can think of is that Brazilian Megaman comic where the writer intended to create his own original character and literally take over the comic, just using the established name as a springboard for his own stories. Waterhaul posted:Pete is there for motivation and team spirit, he's not there for punching. Except it seems like he's provided neither! It was Otto who provided Uncle Ben the motivation to get back into the fight. There seems to be exactly nothing that indicates why Peter should be the leader, except oh, he punched Otto in the face. Even the fact he was apparently the only one to face an inheritor & live has had no effect on things.

Wait, did Slott just loving kill off Kaine with zero fanfare? What the gently caress made him think that was a good idea? e: Okay. Just re-read the issue. No way he is/stays dead. Crisis averted for now.
