Spider-Gwen is from an alternate universe where she got bitten instead of Peter, and Peter died instead of her. Silk was bitten by the same spider that bit Peter. I don't care who's being glib, dumb comics trivia has been asked and I know origins goddammit.

I got the idea of Ewan McGregor as Green Arrow, and now I kinda really want to see that happen.

CapnAndy posted:Yeah, Spider-Gwen was a huge hit so they did a Gwen month of variant covers, and Gwenpool turned out to be ridiculously popular with cosplayers basically immediately, so Marvel figured they had something there and made an actual Gwenpool ongoing. Now they're doing the Mary Jane month of covers, so I guess they're hoping for lightning to strike twice?

Which is actually a decent story, if you ignore that one bit, or treat it like it's intended as a metaphor on Spider-Man just being a general bad person to hang around, health wise (see: Captain and Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborne, Ned Leads, Ed Brock, countless others.)

I could see an alternate universe Mary Jane where she's basically a superhero version of Hedy Lamarr, and Iron Mary isn't a bad name for a comic.

This loving happens every time a minority character takes over in some part the role of a created in the 60's white dude.

They clearly want Ironheart to be a big character, they weren't going to give her a name that would face significant legal limitations in promotions and marketing.

I was asking where I could buy Iron Heart #1 Why are you asking that? What point are you trying to make? Ironheart doesn't headline a comic book, therefore she never will, not in a million years? Or have a toy or any sort of merchandise where Marvel would want a free hand to use her name?

purple death ray posted:Infamous Iron Man is a comic about Tony Stark playing Infamous on his Playstation I can see why that would be a huge seller. Although now I've looked it up, the real comic does sound pretty cool. I swear someone mentioned earlier that one of Marvel's huge problems was not just the steam of big events but their constant split and merge of titles. I was aware of Ironheart because local comic book places have her poster everywhere, but I knew nothing of Infamous Iron Man. Someone I know has read some Miles Morales TPBs and is really into the character but finding it hard to find a nice list of what he needs to read to keep following him specifically. Seems like the same problem.
