Yeah, that's another thing, Felicia has been around Spider-Man more than enough to realize *something* was hosed up over their fight. Why she's all "must kill spider" instead of trying to figure out what was wrong is baffling.

The Question IRL posted:

Not really. You see, Felicia has always loved/lusted after Spider-man but been meh about Peter Parker. In fact, they did break up when Peter explained who he was under the mask.

While their relationship is complex and she does rely on Spider-man (the person) to help her out of jams, she ultimately wants Spider-Man's body in a lustiful manner.
But Felicia is a selfish person. Sure, she does the hero thing and she robs from criminals and those who "can afford it" but she is not above using it as an excuse to enrich herself.

Yet as far as Felicia is concerned, Spider-Man finally got tired of their games. And not only did he web her up instead of their normal sparing/forelplay activity, he called the cops on her. And when she got arrested, all her ill-gotten games over years have been taken from her.

Really Felicia doesn't want to figure out what was wrong with Peter, because that would mean investigating the man beneath the mask and she doesn't care about that. She cares about getting back at the muscular red and blur friend with benefit who decked her and took away all her stuff.

Oh, I understand and agree with Felica doesn't care about Peter. I just take issue that she'd be so hurt by Spock's betrayal that she'd go into full on destroy mode. Black Cat never really struck me as the clingy type, if Spider-Man had actually rejected her, I'd have thought she'd just move on.

Having had a night to sleep on it, this is, once again, Slott having solid idea with poo poo execution.

I really find that the idea of a Spider-Person with extensive control over their natural webbing a cool concept.

I don't trust Slott to explore this and the hamhanded LET US BONE scene at the end. Ugh.

It's also not unheard-of for it to show up as a Caucasian person's surname, so who even knows. Do we have word from Slott on this?

I just want Silk to be a good character, but Slott just keeps on slapping these tropes on her. Ninja mask, sexy Asian lady rolling around the bed with a "natural" instinct to gently caress our white hero... it's like a creepy white guy's wet dream of what an Asian woman is.

fake edit: I googled Dan Slott and that is exactly what I expected the creator of Silk to look like.

Also, Cindy or Cynthia means moon, so we actually have a character named moon moon. like the wolf meme. what the hell.

I bet her middle name is Luna.

I wonder, would people hate the Inheritors as much if they were, say, Dr. Strange or Elsa Bloodstone antagonists? I don't really see any criticism of them as characters that doesn't pretty much boil down to "the Inheritors belong in a Vampire: The Masquerade supplement."

As someone who legit loves V:tM and V:tR, no. The Inheritors are some ST's pet NPCs who are SO COOL and SO POWERFUL and totally untouchable by the PCs.

The Penelope Parker story was adorable, so I'm waiting for Slott to violently murder her in graphic detail. Ms. Kraven's outfit had me literally lol.

Also, just for a little context, I have two copies of this issue as well.



I plan on framing both the front and reverse side of the actual comics and putting them next to / below the lithograph. I don't particularly have a passion for this issue or anything. It was just the cheapest lithograph that was of a decent size and Spider-Man I could find at the end of the last day at Comic Con. I also just happened to own a copy of the issue already. And without even checking I went out and found another copy at my local comic store. Bought it. Went to go put it in my box of Spider-Man issues, and realized I already had it. Decided it would be a good opportunity to really have all of it framed and look like a really nice wall piece collection. Either way they look cool. I haven't even had time to read the loving issue. Ha.

I am still pissed that all my McFarlane Amazing Spider-Mans were stolen out of my locker in high school.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Slott's stories in Spiderverse. It was almost like having the old Dan Slott back.

Spider-Punk was great, as everyone has said. Mexican Spider-Man was meh and I hated that costume. Oddly enough, it looked great on his father when it was just a mask and tights. Adding the shirt to it made it way too busy.

His Silver Surfer is a huge Doctor Who rip off. I actually liked it at first but it got so old so fast. Especially since he has the Surfer constantly losing the silver, to make it even more obvious.

I mean, Surfer has been desilvered before, I liked the set up they had in Thor when the preacher character became herald to Galactus and Norrin stayed in Broxton to work at the diner. But, the way it was said upthread made it sound like he'd been desilvered and resilvered multiple times in Slott's series.

No, the red, white, and blue make him look like Captain Spimerica. Even if the spider symbol were black, I don't think that venom style spider works with the costume webbing pattern.

That said, if it follows the example of literally any other Spider-Man game, we will have a couple dozen alt costumes.
