Ever since I saw Goblin 2099 on the cover solicit for Spidey 2099 #11, I was looking forward to Peter David finding a tongue in cheek way to address the old issue of the first Spider-Man 2099 series when the identity of Goblin was changed without his knowledge after he left the book. (See http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/03/15/comic-book-legends-revealed-410/2/).

I was not disappointed, the jokes about the identity switch begin on page 1 and continue all throughout. You can always count on PAD to deliver the goods by referencing minute things he wrote 20 years ago and almost no one read. :hellyeah:

That makes a little more sense. I was wondering why Goblin was the wrong person and the book was harping on it.

Glory to Mankind.

Since the announcement of Civil War: Amazing Spider-Man, I'm considering catching up on the main comic (especially since I read Silk/Spider-Woman/Spider-Gwen anyways). What should I read just to be aware of where Spider-Man's at heading into CWII

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


The latest arcs of Amazing Spider-Man, and Invincible Iron Man both have Spidey and Iron Man having a corporate dick measuring contest, and arguing about MJ.

And which Goblin hasn't had some secret identity fuckery because of creative team changes?

Read Spider-Man/Deadpool. That'll more or less have you covered for Peter's current status quo without having to touch the garbage fire that is Slott's run on Amazing Spider-Man. Also it is both cool and good.

I'm 100% certain they would recap everything you need to know about where Peter is at in the first issue of Civil War 2: Electro Boogaloo: Spider-Man.

Well, it's good if we assume we're not supposed to... like Peter, right? Because he's coming off really poorly in this Iron Man story. The Pepper Potts bit was funny, but is, AT BEST, petty, at worst it's outright sexist. And this last issue?

Also, ignore the #1.x issues. They're possibly worse than bad, they're boring.

I am more open to a "Let's see a crappy side of Peter Parker" story when it takes this approach. The Superior Spidey approach wasn't as enjoyable to me, even if other writers did have some good fun with it.

Well you see it's great because it really gets back to the roots of the character as a man-child who skips work to get in petty fights with friends.

Spider symbols were too big but other than that the suit looks great, white really works good.

I'm undecided on the suit, but interesting that it looks like Mr Negative might be one of the villains. Looks a lot like Spidey's fighting some of his Demons in one of the car sequences.

No, the red, white, and blue make him look like Captain Spimerica. Even if the spider symbol were black, I don't think that venom style spider works with the costume webbing pattern.

That said, if it follows the example of literally any other Spider-Man game, we will have a couple dozen alt costumes.

Just don't make it like Ultimate Spider-Man where you have to 100% the game to get the black costume.

the big white spider is probably to make him easier to follow with your eyes due to how fast it looks like he's going

I've always been amazed that the old "costume" where Peter had a paper bag on his head and wore most of an old Fantastic Four jumpsuit has been in as many games as it has.

One of these days we'll get a Spider-man game with the Kaine SS suit as an alternate costume and when you switch to it you scream profanities at everyone you save in the game.

It's a great gag, and it's also the issue where Peter first ditches the black costume.

It probably won't be in many more in the near future. At least not with a FF jumpsuit.

Do we know who's voicing Spidey? Doesn't sound like Drake Bell or anyone else who's played him in the past.

I've been thinking about it and I could see it being undone and Mephisto being "I've brought your true love back to life," and it is Gwen Stacey.

Or it is Ben Reilly.
