That's Brother Voodoo MD and he is simply as surprised he still exists as I am.

The eighties called Marvel even they think Brother Voodoo may be irredeemably racist.

They called him Doctor Voodoo when they made him Sorcerer Supreme for a while. I thought it was pretty interesting, but it was one of those ongoings that got turned into a limited series, and then he was never seen again. :eng99:

The idea that Sorcerers Supreme are always medical doctors seems weird to me. Although I saw one alternate version described as "the Surgeon of Reality" in a short story, and I thought that was a pretty cool description.

You need to have the finger control of a surgeon to be able to make those weird hand gestures consistently!

Now, why there's no concert violinist Sorcerer Supreme is a good question.

So let's see. The spiderweb design starts at his feet, continues up his legs while looping around to the back, merges at his butt, goes up his back, diverges and then moves at a downward angle across his flanks until meeting back up just above his crotch, before continuing up his chest, at which point it then covers his upper arms and everything above his shoulders.

I thought Peter was just going to be Miles' Master Splinter in the All New All Different Marvel Now! world?

It's kind of a cop out to make such a hullabaloo over Miles being the One True Spider-Man if Peter Parker is still running around in tights, starring in the same book he's had since the 60s.

Well there's a lot of mainstream news about Miles being the "main" Spider-Man now, unless you're saying the people writing the comics don't matter. Unless I'm misunderstanding the entire situation.

Marvel never corrected people, and carefully announced the Bendis book first so it looked like it was the main one, but they never said it was the only one or that Peter was gone or not Spidey. It's cynical marketing, which if you read cape books for any length of time, you get used to.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


It should be noted that Amazing, according to the cover, is going to take place in Tokyo, so that costume is going to look pretty drat slick. It's a good move to keep Miles from constantly being in Peter's shadow.

Yes, but Slott's first 3 big arcs on ASM involved a bullet proof suit. A stealth suit that could also do other poo poo. And whatever the hell the Ends of the Earth suit was supposed to be.

Yo!
I'm not really defending Slott (although it sounds like it), but SM has had ridiculous gizmos, gadgets, and suits for decades.

I mean, c'mon:



e: But basically, THANKFULLY, every story gets ret-conned back to the standard red & blue, that being the only suit that works. All gadgets fail or are one-time uses, etc, and SM relies on being a snarky rear end with webs to win the day. So I'm not too worried about a chest light for three issues.

That was a special one-time use thing that the story showed the clear downsides of, but it served its purpose for the fight he happened to be in!

There was no reason given to not wear the Slott bulletproof suit 24/7. He is a bad writer who writes bad comics and he should stop writing.
