Like I'll grant that "the hero, but opposite!" is a sorta uncreative idea but the way that concept plays out with Bizarro is crazy and hilarious as gently caress

Bizarro is a cute idea but it's hard to figure out the right level of "opposite". I remember Loeb's Superman/Batman being particularly egregious with "Not-Me No-Am Not-Not A Uncowardly and Not Unsuperstitious Anti-Lot, Not-You-Me Unshall no unbecome Not A Bat Not No"

"Don't not unlook! Down not in the unsky! It no is not a landbird! Not unairunplane! It not am not am actually unnot UnSuperNotMan!"

Wait, did I miss that they quietly decided to end Spider-Gwen? Like Spider-Verse is the definitive continuation of the character?

That's incredibly disappointing. Spider-Verse has been okay so far but it hasn't nearly been as interesting as Gwen's own title.

It looks like they're ending Spider-Gwen's own book while Secret Wars happens and then it will probably relaunch when all books get a new #1 after Secret Wars.

As I mentioned above, I read Spider-Verse, and I know about Angela. I was referring to the pausing of the "Sera is tortured in the underworld" plot in Asgard's Assassin, because I certainly don't expect that to get resolved in 1602.

I would just assume that after Secret Wars most books will be getting relaunched, and either pick up somewhat close to where they left off, or start new jumping on point plot lines. Whether anything not originally taking place in the 616 gets the former is the part I'm curious about. Depends on if they're actually going through with the death of the multiverse thing and putting everything onto one earth, or if that's just marketing.

Technically, the entire multiverse has died, so if they brought it back now they weren't actually lying (Steve Rodgers and a bunch of other people died who were still around before Secret Wars had died and came back). I would say part of the reason for this was to not eliminate alternate universe poo poo, but try and defocus it, but I thought half the point of Age of Ultron was to cut down on time travel shenanigans, but then it seemed like everyone was doubling down on the time travel poo poo after that, including Hickman.

That's one of Bendis' only 3 tricks in his bag. Stop doing (cool thing we expect from comics) it's BREAKING THINGS. He did it with Wanda, he did it with Beyonder's reality manipulation, and he did it with time travel. I'm sure there's other instances, too. It's kinda lame, to be honest. He reduces things that are supposed to be unshakeable acts of power into "twisting things in a wrong way, omg they have to stop!"

New Miles in the 616 series after secret war called "Spider-Man" with Bendis/Pichelli.



quote:

Comic book geeks’ spider senses are tingling.

After battling evil-doers in an alternate comic book line, a popular biracial version of Spider-Man is getting a promotion to the official Marvel Comics universe.

The first issue of the relaunched “Spider-Man” hits comic stores, tablets and smartphones this fall with more fanfare than a typical new series, because the hero under the mask is Miles Morales, the teen son of an African-American father and Puerto Rican mother.

“Many kids of color who when they were playing superheroes with their friends, their friends wouldn’t let them be Batman or Superman because they don’t look like those heroes but they could be Spider-Man because anyone could be under that mask,” says writer and co-creator Brian Bendis. “But now it’s true. It’s meant a great deal to a great many people.”

The character has been around since 2011, replacing the murdered Peter Parker in Marvel’s offshoot “Ultimate” line and gained a sizeable following, but the “real” Spider-Man has kept patrolling the company’s main titles.

When news broke that Marvel and Sony were rebooting the cinematic Spider-Man, social media erupted in pleas to have Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker as the friendly neighborhood hero.

It won’t happen on the big screen anytime soon, but the clamoring didn’t go unheeded. When the publisher opted to fold its Ultimate line this summer in their event series “Secret Wars,” Morales landed a permanent home — alongside a mentor in the grownup, genuine Peter Parker.

The Miles Morales Spider-Man has been around since 2011, replacing the murdered Peter Parker in Marvel's 'Ultimate' line.

“Our message has to be it’s not Spider-Man with an asterisk, it’s the real Spider-Man for kids of color, for adults of color and everybody else,” says Bendis of the series which is drawn by artist Sarah Pichelli.

The move is part of a recent push across the industry to add a little more color of a different variety to the splash pages of superhero books to appeal to a much more diverse readership.

Marvel has already surprised fans by introducing a female Thor and having an African-American hero, The Falcon, taking over the mantle as Captain America. And one of the publisher’s breakout hits in the last two years has been Ms. Marvel, a Muslim teen girl.

The enormity of Miles Morales' place in comic book history didn’t really hit Bendis, a father who has two kids of color among his four children, until recently. His 4-year-old adopted African-American daughter found a Miles Morales Spidey mask in the toy aisle of a department store, put it on and said, “Look daddy, I’m Spider-Man!” he recalls.

“I started crying in the middle of the aisle,” says Bendis. “I realized my kids are going to grow up in a world that has a multi-racial Spider-Man, and an African American Captain America and a female Thor.”

That's pretty neat, though I'm extremely worried about which of Miles' supporting characters will also make the jump. Slightly willing to give Bendis a chance here since he won't be able to use Ultimate Peter's stuff like he did in the past few years, I hope.

Yeah, I'm guessing Ultimate May, MJ and Gwen can't be carried over smoothly. Maybe Ganke and his dad.

In terms of villains Miles never really built up his own rogues gallery. There was his uncle who died, the Scorpion gangster guy, Ult. Taskmaster. The rest were mostly Peter's villains. I wonder if they're just going to have him fight 616 Peter's villains or actually try to build his own stable.

I guess that would depend if they're pushing him as the main Spider-Man of the universe. I can only assume we'll get a relaunched Amazing Spider-Man with Slott still writing because he won't let go of that book for anything. I think he's survived what, 2 or 3 relaunches at this point?

Right in the background is "Parker Industries" so he'll probably go full-time into that career and help make tech for the rest of the Spiders. Hopefully Peter Parker can finally grow up.

Every now and then Kaine comes in, looking as young as ever, and Peter goes on about how much fun Kaine must be having with the single life and being a clone that ages slowly, Kaine just goes "Everyone i've loved has died because of me. ...Is the new suit ready? oh and can Aracely stay with you this weekend? gotta murder some dudes"
