If I was Spider-Man, I would also be Iron Man if I had the money. Checks out to me.

I'm convinced Dan Slott is just taking ideas from the Fox cartoon at this point.

Edit: This is probably weirder than the Nollywood Spider-Girl flick, it has wolfmen that shoot lasers out of their eyes that turn people in to werewolves, and Frankenstein's monster turns people into Frankensteins by shooting lasers out of his neck bolts, and Dracula is defeated by a windmill. Spider-Woman is turned into a half-werewolf and half-vampire thing for a hot minute, in addition to already being half-spider.

Everything is Sinister


Well, with the new issue of Web Warriors out, I can finally discuss Web Warriors again.

I was right they were writing Mayday out of the book, although they're instead having her lost in the multiverse rather than killing her off. Also, they got rid of Spider-UK, but I'm not sure anyone even noticed. They've promoted Anya to leader, which I guess gives her something to do, so that's nice. But I think I'm done. I was only really sticking around for Mayday, so I guess I'll just save my money for other things.

I wonder if they'll actually be able to wrap up this plot before the cancellation.

If they kill off Anya I might try reading the book.

Fear not I'm sure Grizzled and Evil from being lost in the multiverse Mayday will kill her to show how serious a threat she is in the totally not bitter about getting canned finale.

That was everything you promised and more. I used to love those cartoons as a kid. Never sure why Spider-Woman got to fly though.

Are we all excited for this Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen team up?

Welp, turns out that Dead No More is Clone Saga II: Electro Boogaloo, if the latest teaser is anything to go by.

Then again people were already guessing 'Jackal'.

The clone of Gwen Stacy got dealt with in the Evolutionary War crossover. They retconned it so Warren wasn't making full clones; he'd just found a woman similar to Gwen and done some tinkering. One of the Young Gods "fixed" her, giving her back her original face, and it turned out her name was Joyce Delaney. Joyce went on to die in Yost's Scarlet Spider.

Granted, this was well pre-Clone Saga, so who even knows.

They are probably gonna clone everyone who has died on Peter so of course Gwen will be there.

That was retconned again during the clone saga, they stated there that Delaney a construct, she never existed. So the SS thread conflicts with that.

I don't think red suit guy is Jackal. Jackal's generally pretty obvious about being Jackal 'cause he loves being nuts.

Then again Lizard recognized him so maybe that's a sign that it is Warren?

And yet he's wearing a stonking great Jackal mask in the promo.

I'm wondering if Warren is running around in a cloned body of someone else, and that will be the big reveal. So he'll take off the mask and have the face of Otto Octavius/Peter Parker/Norman Osborn underneath (which is why Lizard recognised him). Actually if he's running around in cloned body of Peter, that could see him leverage Peter's own company against him for one thing.

Well it's an Anubis mask which is appropriate for someone bringing people back from the dead

The Anubis mask looks like the Jackal-man Warren created when he was working under the High Evolutionary at Mt Wundgore.

So I haven't been into comics for a while, and I was wondering....why is Peter suddenly some sort of mega-super-genius on the level of people like Tony Stark and Reed Richards? I have to say it rubs me the wrong way. The guy's super smart, but he never used to be that super smart.

Because Dan Slott apparently decided Peter should be the new Tony Stark, because being a Playboy Billionaire Philanthropist is apparently more relatable than being married.

He always was, but he was never in a position where he could really leverage it. He invented the webbing and the web-shooters himself, as well as an electronic tracking beacon that he can home in on psychically, and he's got a consistent history of coming up with scientific solutions to the villain or problem of the week.

Traditionally, the problem has been Spider-troubles interfering with his education, or keeping him from consistently being able to keep hold of the kinds of resources that Tony or Reed have. In the fields of chemistry or DIY electronics, he's probably top-ten MU and has been for quite a while.

Yeah this is the way I have always seen Peter. He has the potential to be as smart as Reed, Stark, Pym, and McCoy, but is constantly sidetracked. This was big during the silver age.
