Heavy Metal posted:I read Amazing Spider-Man #33 recently, the one where he does the thing (lifts the thingy), epic stuff. Holds up well too. That guy is pretty inspiring. In Steve Orlando's recent Curse of the Man-Thing miniseries, the Lizard ends up helping out at one point, fighting alongside Captain America and Spidey.

So how dumb in a subjective sense is the return of Gwen? I haven't read Spider-Man recently, other than Zdarsky stuff (I just heard about it). Did they pull this off?

Yes, they pulled it off it's the celestial judging Norman, but instead of just appearing as Gwen, it brought her back just for that task (and at the end to judge Norman too) unless there's a big swerve, she's not back for real.

We still haven't had that strange figure that showed up to Peter and MJ at the end of the previous series explained. So that figure likely did something to MJ. Peter then tried to get her back, and messed something up. It's unclear if people refused to help him before or after this, but regardless, Norman was the only one to give him assistance. MJ is with that guy because she feels a sense of responsibility to be with him. We're not sure if the kids are or are not really hers.

Soonmot posted:Yes, they pulled it off To expand on this It didn't bring her back to judge Peter. It just assumed her form during the period of judgment. Once he was judged fitting it brought her back as a gift to give Peter a little bit of closure. Then she faded away. That's all it was and I liked it a lot. And we can also assume from an earlier story beat the same may have happened with May and Ben. I really liked the issue a lot.

Endless Mike posted:Yeah, that's a weird choice for group shot. Polaris and Strong Guy both end up in X-Factor My theory is that they were not totally locked in at the time who was going to end up on what time. Like if you remember old comic cards, they had a completely different X-men team that I think never got together.

Peter David has talked about how he basically got the leftovers that Lee/Claremont/Portacio/Byrne didn't want.

OnimaruXLR posted:I've enjoyed the run a fair bit so far (Tombstone stuff in particular was great) and Wells went up a tier in my mind as a creator after Hellions so I want him to bring it home. Jury's still out for me, but the newest ASM was good (despite the art) and latest episode of She-Hulk made me sit up and go "Zeb Wells wrote this episode?? lol, awesome" so I guess I'm warming up

I didn't realize Wells wrote that episode. He's come a long way from Robot Chicken. When I went to look it up I also laughed at how the show is getting review bombed. Frail male egos. Anyway, I liked this Spidey issue as well. I wonder if it's also setting up Gwen to return for real. Like her short appearance could have been to gauge the reaction of bringing her back for real. It would also kind of fit in with Wells and how he likes to have the past play a big role in the present.

More cynically I’d say it’s Marvel trying to get more of that manga money, but hey why not try to expand your audience

Is the full list of artists somewhere? For those of you unfamiliar, of the four they've mentioned two of them have done a lot of work for American comics already(Sana Takeda is the artist on Monstress and Kamome Shirahama has done a lot of covers for DC and Star Wars), Yusuke Murata is arguably the greatest action comics artist of all time,     and Shigeto Koyama is a concept, character, and mecha designer for Trigger who did all the stuff for Promare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1z8XFR3nNg Gripweed fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Oct 8, 2022 |

Murata has already done some absolutely insanely cool Spider-Man stuff. Just Google "Murata Spider-Man" and you can see higher quality versions of these pieces.

I'm actually psyched that they got Sana Takeda back, her and Liu's run on X-23 was great and her run on Ms Marvel is underappreciated.
