Nobody cared about AoU, not even Marvel editorial.

I'll admit I didn't read it, but I thought the take away of "Stop loving time travelling, it messes poo poo up" was nice.

Nah, he'll get married and instantly get grey hair and wrinkles because we all know that gold bands on your ring finger make you a grandpa. He'll hang out with Steve Rogers and Logan and play pinochle while they complain about the kids and their music these days.

I would read this book. Actually, Peter Parker isn't that much younger than Steve Rogers, ignoring the time Rogers was frozen in ice.

Parker, married with a kid, Old Steve Rogers, (though again, even without his super soldier serum he still shouldn't be much older than Bucky) and Old Man Logan in a team-up would be an amazing Bendis book.

Still, USM did 18 issues a year for however long Bagley was on it (I think Bendis/Bagley have the longest writer/artist duo streak in comics, followed by Lee/Kirby on Fantastic Four (but that might just be a Marvel record). Maybe this will just turn into a grudge match with Slott writing Peter (or not Peter, or whatever) and Bendis writing Miles until one of them dies. (The writer's not the characters)

This just made me imagine Spiderman & the X-Men: Japan Edition, and I am fully obsessed. There have to be mutants in Japan, right? I want a Japanese mutant school and I want Spidey as headmaster/teacher/whatever. I know it isn't what you meant and I do not care.

Peter'd also work as an ESL teacher to non-mutant kids or whatever, I guess, acting as a superhero on the side. Or a liasion/teacher to whatever Japanese superhero organizations + training programs there are in general.

He could actually just be a science teacher in Japan, I'm sure Japan has schools where some classes are in Japanese and some are in English. My cousin in Spain goes to one that does that in Spanish, English and Catalan.

I'm cautious about the premise of the book, I however, cannot get over the Spidermobile. It seems so stupid, watching Ultimate Spider-Man on Netflix with the Spider-cycle shows why this is such a stupid idea. He doesn't need a goddamn Spider-Mobile, he's loving Spider Man. gently caress.

The Spidermobile is the best precisely because it's the dumbest loving idea in the world. Didn't it initially only pop up a couple of times so they could sell a toy and it consistently got wrecked because Peter Parker is a godawful driver?

Was Betty Brant technically Peter's first girlfriend or was it Gwen Stacy? I think a radio show in San Diego might have screwed a guy out of comicon tickets because the show got the answer wrong, but Im not totally sure. They said it was Gwen, the caller (and me) thought it was Betty.

There was mutual attraction in the original Ditko drawn stuff, but I'm not certain if they ever used that word to describe their relationship, or even if they ever actually, you know, went out.

Yeah, I don't think they're burying the F4 as some passive-agressive swipe at Fox, since the new launch has three or four X-Men titles. I think it's just no one buys Fantastic Four comics. Johnny and Ben are on different teams, and I bet Sue and Reed and the kids are going to show up too.

I miss having books that had giant issue numbers. I admit to not buying ASM 512, but it was comforting to see it on the shelves. When they bring back Fantastic Four I hope they don't do it with a number 1.

Letting Aunt May find out was the best thing JMS ever did. I really wish they hadn't retconned that away.

Oh god that got retconned? Like the best part of Clone Saga was Aunt May revealing she'd known for years he was Spider-Man, then that gets ret conned but we eventually get a non dead Aunt May who knows what's up and that's great too.

X-Men and Spider-Man have both been poo poo for a long time, because of course, what with them being my favorite corners of the Marvel universe and all. Luckily, the auxiliary titles are still good, but the flagships turn good writers into bad or okay writers into outright boring drudgery.

I liked both (most) New Avengers and Slott's Mighty Avengers, but X-Men and Spider-Man under both have been boring as hell.

Bizarrely, I bet you'd dig the hell out of Spider-Man and The X-Men if you haven't read it yet.

The major difference is usually Murdock's world gets destroyed by really good writers, where Spider-Man has had to deal with Dan Slott for the past 8 years.

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.

I assumed the gift was he got his life transplanted into 616, along with those closest to him. As far as we know the UU was destroyed.

Every Universe was destroyed, including 616, but Franklin and Molecule Man are actively creating new ones, including the one all the current books are set in, which is basically 616, but with the serial number filed off. Theoretically there could be a universe out there that's functionally identical to Ultimate, knowing Franklin though most of them are probably Dinosaurs fighting Cowboys, or something with pirates.

Hold on, I just made a connection I need to share with the rest of the class.

Morlun and his family only feed on the "essence of animal totems" or whatever. One of the Vultures said that they get to eat the bodies after Morlun and his family are done with their "essence." So this means that they can't just feed on animals, right? But at the end of Spider-Verse they're trapped somewhere eating a bunch of spiders that just came out of the walls or something. So those can't be normal spiders, they have to be some form of totem.

Which means The Thousand is in Spider-Verse. Never forget about The Thousand.

Speaking of having fun reading comics, I forgot how good Waid's Daredevil run was. I picked up the monthlies way back when it started but got out of comics for a while. Thanks to MU I'm catching up on it and every issue seems better than the last, especially when my boy Marcos Martin is drawing. I *loved* that dude on Amazing.

I wish Marvel Unlimited had more Cage comics to read with his series coming out only next month. Looks like it's mostly just his time as an Avenger. Thought for sure they would have the classic Heroes for Hire available.

They recently added some 90's Heroes for Hire series that he's in, no idea if it's any good. I bet they'll add more, the "New this week" section always has at least a dozen or so books from the back catalog.

What's the 70s stuff under? That's what I'm most interested in but all I can find is #1 of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. His origin story from '72.

His 90s series titled "Cage" I just saw on there for the first time. Has it been on there for a while?That Nightcrawler site that scrapes MU doesn't have that listed yet.

I think "Cage" was a MAX series, and so won't ever pop up on Unlimited, but I also heard it traded in a lot of uncomfortable stereotypes, so maybe it's best to let it sit in the dustbin of continuity.
