Little Mac posted:It's me. I am the person excited for Spider-Verse. Will Spider-Man from the 90s cartoon somehow be involved? If not, I probably won't be picking this up.

I can't wait for the collectible action figure range of the Spider-Verse. At least I finally got my dream of a new 2099 book, but I don't really care for the art.

Flameingblack posted:They'll all have one fist and a webslinger hand identical to every other There's a bit in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where Electro breaks one of Spider-Man's web-shooters, and he has to do the fight with just one. I like to think this was a direct reference to the figures.

NoMoneyDown posted:I'm just not feeling ASM. What made Superior so good was Doc Ock starting out by doing things his way, and basically doing villainous things to benefit the city in a heroic way. He was different from the previous Spiderman, and a breath of fresh air. Now we're back to business as usual with the most dry wit ever seen. The entire comic felt like the definition of "the more things change, the more they stay the same". I haven't been involved with current Spiderman for too long, and I know returning to status quo is par for the course, but Spockerman was a huge loss for me. There's also a $10 digital exclusive special edition.

I literally cannot comprehend how people are taken in by the constant issues 1s in 2014.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think history is going to really remember JMS's run pretty poorly which is fair, but also a shame. A lot of stuff like Sins Past can go gently caress itself, but there was still some good sin that run, especially around Civil War. JMS really did a great job selling why Peter unmasking makes sense for the character. May reminding him that he made a lot of the decisions about what Spider-Man was as a child made sense. His handle of the family unity of Pete, May, and MJ was also really great. 100x better than Slott's fart jokes, a weird unnatural scene where Pete and MJ laugh at him asking to move in, and then him magically getting a job at a science place because he can make up a complex equation while trying to switch a machine off or something. Just reading Big Time. Not feeling it. Got that and Spider-Island super cheap from Comixology. Spider-Man's stuff is the best thing about Civil War.

Lobok posted:I don't remember that in Spectacular though I could be wrong, but it wasn't the 90s cartoon because that one had the trippy flashing lava lamp / circulatory system background thing with a high shrill whistle type sound. I loved that. That noise comes to me every time I'm reading something with spider sense.

Facepalm Ranger posted:Any uk guys/girls here read spidey via the monthly mag "Astonishing Spider-man"? Looking back the price per content was phenomenal, £2.50 got you two current story arc issues and a back up which would be a classic spidey issue or a off-shoot like toxin. I sometimes used to read "Complete Spider-Man" or something which collected together all the different Spidey books at the time (four?) or something like that. At the time I didn't really understand the difference between the books, and I'm not sure I even understand the difference to this day. However, it was pretty cool to have something with a bunch of content and variety. The one I remember the most had a cool Venom story (the one where he saves that baby from drowning), and a story

How was Spider-Man Season One? The Thor one was pretty good. Better than actual Journey Into Mystery Thor anyway.

The whole concept of Spider-Gwen is the most interesting and refreshing Spider-Man in recent years. But it will likely be terrible.

Flameingblack posted:Hadn't heard the news that he dropped out, which is such a loving shame. I would have trusted him to make Ant Man fantastic, he's got so many cult favorites and if anyone could have done well with Ant Man it was him. Does anyone know what happened between them? Spider-Gwen is the best thing to happen to Spider-Man since (...?). Watch it disappear quickly when she sacrifices her like to save 616 Peter because he is the "true" Spider-Man or something.

ImpAtom posted:I'm not a Spider-Girl fan but "a character keeps getting written in dark, depressing or bad stories" isn't inherently better than them fading away, especially when they have their own universe. The inability for comic book authors to let a story go rarely works out. Welcome to literally all "AAA" comic books. From reading this stuff when I was younger to looking at it now it's like groundhog day. Nothing would make me happier than the creative teams letting these beloved franchises actually evolve. Doing that stuff in just alternate universe books just feels non-committal. If Miles Morales was the main Spider-Man and that was the way it would be until the story again moved on nothing would make me happier.

SirDan3k posted:I wish the writers of big two would learn that death above all else has become loving boring. Look how far writers have to stretch to give it impact, digging up nostalgia bait and sad pets to have anybody care. Yeah, 100% Death for shock value is just not interesting to be in comic books any more. It doesn't excite me. I am not excited by current Spider-Man. What does excite is the opportunity to tell interesting and engaging stories that try new things. Miles Morales when that happened, and Thor. It's not super hard. What if the Amazing Friends stuff could have been re-evaluated or explored in some new way? But no they died oh wow so edgy so much excitement put me down for a standing order. Great job.

Twist: every Spider-Man from every issue of Slott's run has been from a slightly alternate universe. All of them team up to save the day in an event Slott has literally been planning from day one. My tablet keeps autocorrecting Slott to Sloth.

Spiderverse is like a cross between Final Destination and Dragon Ball Z.

Windows 98 posted:I run a Spider-Man panels blog, where I post my favorite panels from the comics as I read through them. I just got to issue #66. Which is gonna be really cool for me because I actually own the copy, and it is also signed by Mr. John Romita himself! Nice. I like this sort of thing. If I'm reading on Comixology I often screenshot funny or weird panels myself. I post them on my blog, but I also post other stuff too. Here is my Spider-Man stuff: http://infinitetumbleweed.tumblr.com/image/86606203433 This is my favourite though:
