Wheat Loaf posted:I remember the one where he bullies Peter into making him a costume and becomes "the Spider" then Peter rigs up all these gadgets including Doc Ock arms to stop him when he goes evil. What was the other one? I had an idea for a story that gathered the alternate, non-Spider Peter Parkers together for an adventure. You'd have Hulk Peter, from Bullet Points, Nova Peter from that one What If?, the aforementioned Spider-Man who got the octopus legs, maybe the hacker one from Powerless, and I'd throw in Peter Parker, Agent of SHIELD from a world where his parents lived and got him into the family business. Plus of course, the Amazing Spider-Man we all know and love. The villain they're summoned to fight? Another Peter Parker never bitten by the spider, driven by the death of his Uncle he witnessed and was powerless to stop, to try and acquire power of all kinds - physical, political, and metahuman to ensure that he never gets hurt ever again. Basically kind of like the Regent, except of being generic doomsday foe, he's obviously got an emotional stake for our heroes. In other Spider-related news, it seems that in the latest Renew Your Vows they establish Baby May existed. I imagine that might get followed up on. Also Spider-Geddon still looks like reheated Spider-Verse, so I'm definitely giving it a pass, even if it is Gage writing it. The 'ooh, there's gonna be deaths' teasing doesn't help at all.

Speaking of Spider-Mans, I genuinely didn't see the reveal coming in Renew Your Vows that Annie's 'clone' was actually RYV Mayday all along. I mean, they even established she existed in an earlier issue, and that Sinister had raided the Oscorp genetic research labs, but  . I can't wait to see where this goes.Quick PSA: Renew your Vows owns and if you like Spidered Mans, you should read it.

Oh, seriously? So AGotG is going to feature Executioner, and Kid Loki? That's two characters that should have stayed dead in that book. I loved Journey into Mystery, but bringing Kid Loki back is a mistake, in my opinion. Because him being back means that he's probably going to get turned evil, (heck just that page seems to hint at it), and I wont be having that sort of nonsense. Whats the thread consensus on Cullen Bunn? All I know is that he exists. Is it all likely he can stick the landing?

Codependent Poster posted:Spider-Geddon is okay but not having Peter in it is silly. Especially when characters are pointing out how he's the one who has always beaten the Inheretors. Have they forgotten that information/developed an immunity this time around Like, I know it took a stupid amount of time for them to figure it out last time because Ugh, honestly I feel like Spider-Verse shoved the entire Spider-Line into being 'the one with multiverse stuff', between Web Warriors and Spider-Gwen popping over for what seemed to be every other issue. Speaking of Gwen, I wonder if her 'Ghost Spider' identity will involve channelling the powers of dead Spidered Mans? There's certain a mountain of corpses she could draw from, there.

So, having just watched Into The Spider-Verse (it owns, BTW, go watch it), I decided the time was ripe to see how the webslingers are doing in the books. I heard that ASM was good now, even if Nick Spencer's writing it now, so I decided to grab the first few issues on comixology. It feels weirdly and pleasantly familiar, considering I actually got into the comics at the tail end of the JMS era. Having Peter & MJ together again is nice. The fact it leads with a flashback to Sensational Spider-Man annual is a nice touch. Also, it almost immediately shoving Slott's previously set-up status quo in the garbage was somewhat amusing. Is it me or...might they actually be considering undoing OMD? That Sensational Annual was basically a celebration of the marriage before OMD, they get Peter & MJ back together, hell, there was even a very prominent shot of MJ's ringless hand with Peter's narration saying there was something missing... Also (Maybe slight Into The Spider-Verse spoilers) the 'real' Peter (for that matter, Miles' Peter) was married to MJ, so there's even some of that there brand synergy going... I mean, I guess it's still unlikely since I gather Quesada's still quite highly placed, but I figured maybe with the changing of the EiC, it might be happening? Is ASM going to get dragged into Spider-Geddon? Because I think I might skip those issues...I only got Spider-Girls because I like Spider-Girl classic and RYV. And I'm super bummed that might be the last time I see either until Spider-Pocalypse or whatever Spider-Verse 3 is going to be. And Miles' new book also looks good. Just wish Ganke did a bit more.

El Tortuga posted:Somebody at Marvel needs to fired over the fact that Miguel's only appearance in Spider-Geddon was a multiple-character splash page in the last issue. So, I wound up buying the Spider-Girls miniseries (I wanted to support Houser/RYV, OK?) and actually quite enjoyed it (probably because it seemed to primarily avoiding the Inheritors plot and focusing on their interpersonal interaction). Out of curiosity, was there anything related to RYV/Spider-Girl in Spider-Geddon #5 to go on? I mean, I'm not going to read it, but still, I'm curious. Also I guess that (very minor Into The Spider-Verse spoilers) Miguel might have been too busy in a pointing match with Spider-Man '67 to get involved with Spider-Geddon.

Speaking of JMS, his Thor run is another pretty good take. And of course, if you're willing to go back that far, Simonson's run is still pretty timeless, in my humble opinion. Oh goddamn monkey's paw, I didn't want Deathlocket back!

Hell yeah, Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man was great! It managed to build off what Spencer's been doing in ASM. That backup story is a hell of a thing - I definitely feel the ramifications are going to be felt for a while. I feel like there's been a fairly major sea change regarding the Spider-books, lately. I just hope it manages to last. Captain Marvel was also excellent. I may be biased due to my love of Avengers Academy, though. It seems like maybe Hazmat might be a supporting character? I heartily approve, if so - it's always nice to see a neglected character being used (whether old or new). It's not even the first time she's mentored a younger heroine, so there's precedent.

Thanks for reminding me to subscribe to Spider-Gwen. I've gone from not buying any Spider-Books to subscribing to nearly all of them. How did this happen? (OK it was probably Into The Spider-Verse and Slott being off Amazing). howe_sam posted:Plus, Gwen was teammates with Billy and Noir in Web Warriors, so she had more of a connection to them than Miles or Pete did. Man, I feel like I was inclined to dislike that book due its associations with Spider-Verse, but dang it was a letdown.

El Tortuga posted:Yes, it is. Apraxin posted:In the wise words of TVIV: if you didn't want it to be cancelled, you should have been more people. But there were still some great bits. Spider-Ham 2099 was one. And that bit where they wind up on a movie set (not realising it was a movie set), and the actress playing Spider-Gwen just decides to join the fight since she took martial arts classes, and everyone else is like 'OK cool, welcome aboard!' Honestly, I think that Into The Spider-Verse has laid to rest basically all of the misgivings I had with Web Warriors as a concept, and if they brought it round again I'd give it another chance. Unfortunately I feel like Spider-Geddon didn't really cover the Spider-comics in glory (well, except for Spider-Girls and Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider).

So, I've been on a Spider-verse binge lately, and I decided to check out Arana/Spider-Girl's first series on Unlimited. It holds up pretty well, actually. Kind of would like to see her cross over into Miles' book - since they're both Latinx kids from Brooklyn.

Yeah, I missed out on Unstoppable Wasp when it first came out, and I'm glad I was able to get on board with it when it came back. In other comics news, I'm enjoying FNSM, although I'm slightly worried that it's going to have the same problem that Zdarsky's Spec run did of starting advertised as a street-level book and bleeding over into more fantastical - I mean, I loved Zdarsky's run, don't get me wrong, but I feel a little put out anyway. But we get the Aunt May reveal in issue 5, so I'm hoping they can striek a balance.

So I must admit, as stoked as I am they're doing a reprint of What If? 105 that I can own, I'm trying to discern if there's some wider pattern to the choice of True Believers reprints this month. The Kraven's Last Hunt one makes sense to tie in to Hunted in ASM, for one thing. And highlighting Colleen Wing & Mist Knight makes sense on account of Daughters of the Dragon having just come out. I'm probably just engaged in tinfoil hattery, though. I'd recommend grabbing the What If? 105 reprint, though, it actually holds up pretty great. And I'm not just saying that because I'm BSS' Designated Fan of Spider-Girl. Congrats on the Black Cat ongoing, Vulpes Vulpes! I'm glad to see it's going to follow up on the stuff with the Thieves Guild from ASM. Does this mean there'll be a Gambit team-up down the road? Dawgstar posted:Nice get on Black Cat!

But I think it's something new? The whole point of it is that they've been cut off from New York since the 30s. Although how Mole Man or whoever never found it is a mystery. Mind you, I'm not sure it's under New York in the literal sense.

So it seems like Spencer's been given carte blanche to just overwrite everything done with Kraven since Grim Hunt. Now granted, Kraven's a Spidey villain and the stuff in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl was already contradictory with his appearances in Scarlet Spider, but that's a hell of a power move. I'm actually quite interested to see where Hunted is going, mind you, but I'm really gonna miss Kraven, the surprisingly chill Hunter and his Kra-Van.

That does raise the question of where the Ana that appeared in Scarlet Spider came from, though. Unless they went back to the Savage Land after the events of Scarlet Spider. You could say that the USG Kraven's just one of his clone sons, maybe?

It was a bold move of Spencer to ask people to read Kraven's Last Hunt first (then again, comparions were going to be made regardless), but still, Hunted is a pretty drat good story. I'm worried about what happened/will hapen to Mary Jane, though.
