They have waves (google hair waves if you don't know what those are).

Cornrows are...not that, they're tightly knitted shorter hair braiding that typically goes vertically.

I guess? But it still threw me a little.



That just looks weird. The art is great. The creative choice on Osborne hair though...it feels like father and son just got back from a trip to the Bahamas.

It’s like Jughead’s hat or Dagwood’s sash in that it’s a stylized take on something that once kind of existed, but if you didn’t grow up in the 30s and did grow up reading spiderman comics, you just reproduce it without really getting what it’s supposed to be.

It’d translate into wavy, gelled until crunchy hair

Think like Joe Cotten from The Third Man:



There used to be products that men would put in their hair that aren’t really used any more. He had straight hair as an old man.

I really, REALLY want Leopardon in the sequel after the original comic utterly wasted him.

He got a spinoff story in Spider-Geddon (written by a goon, no less) that gives him the respect he deserves.

I haven't seen Spider-Verse since it was in theaters. Did Peter B. ever wear his mask while he was in Miles's universe? I honestly don't remember him wearing a mask.

Ugh, I actually met that guy when he was my state's insurance commissioner. He's about as pleasant as he looks. Did you just do a GIS for wavy man hair to get that?

I get it, it's a silly thing to critique the comic for. It just made me do a double take. The rest of the first issue is really good and costs like .99 cents for the Kindle version.

During the infiltration of Liz's lab, the fight at May's, the waiter scene at Fisk's, during the last fight as well.

Also, two funny-rear end moments in May's -- she quickly places a coaster under the cup of coffee Ham places on the table, and shortly before the villains bust in the group places their masks on (Ham already had his on and just kind of, snaps it in place anyway)

Can’t believe I only just realized thanks to the thread that Peni is partially a riff on this:



Kind of? She was originally just straight up an Evangelion homage. The spiders venom was getting pumped into her brain to bond her with SP//DR the Spider-Eva. They fight Mysterio who is (or just piloting. I forget) a giant floating eyeball.

Japanese Spider-Man had a good manga style story in one of the Spidergeddon one shots, by the goon who usually writes Spider Punk.

I swear there was an old Spider-Man story where Sandman turned out to be related to Norman Osborn... because he also had that hair.

It's up (or is it down?) there with the worst of the Clone Saga and One More Day, yeah. It was at one point intended to be a reboot of Peter's origins for the main universe like Byrne did for Superman, but even as it was coming out Marvel was telling other writers to stick with the classic origin.

It's not your fault, you didn't know. It could have been worse, you could have posted Spider-Verse (the original comic). Which aside from 'a bunch of Spider-Men' team up, basically has nothing in common with the movie. But it did kind of kill off or otherwise mess up a bunch of actually cool characters. Like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends? They get murked. The Peter Parker who retired and had a daughter who became Spider-Girl and had her own book that lasted for 100+ issues? Also dead. And as was previously mentioned, Japanese Spider-Man, the guy with his own giant robot (and I think kind of innovated the sentai show), basically did jack poo poo. Literally the only good things that came out of it is I think Spider-Gwen - and this movie, obviously. Hell, it didn't even invent the idea of a team of alternate-universe Spider-Men - the 90s cartoon did it first.

Actually, they're doing a new Spider-Verse comic, which seems to be taking its cues from this movie by having Miles be the lead. Also, it's written by the goon who did the great Leopardon story for Spider-Geddon (which was a better sequel - at the very least when it came to the tie-in books).

Yes, that is Aunt May as the Amazing Spider-Ma'am.

I missed the bit the first time around where you see Peter Porker's origin story, where they have only a little emphasis on how he was a spider bitten by a radioactive pig. Also the only part where you see him out of costume.

Question while I'm at it; does the giant Green Goblin in the start have precedent in the comics or elsewhere? Also, was he killed in the first explosion?

That’s basically ultimate green goblin from the ultimate universe comics (that Miles also originated in),

He’s more like the Hulk than your traditional green goblin, gets big, strong, has some sort of fiery hand blasts/breath.

As to whether he was killed? Meh, doesn’t matter really. They’ll probably decide that when/if they make a sequel or spinoff that just shows a regular Miles spider adventure with no spiderverse shenanigans and he fights his universes sinister six or something.

Mostly a lot of stupid stuff in the original comic where they hid the relationship between Jefferson and Aaron for a dramatic reveal by having Jefferson go by Morales. And the white dude writer really didn't think through the implication of Jefferson's last name being Davis.

Aaron and Jeff being brothers is not a big dramatic reveal in the original Ultimate run.
