Latest Cup o’ Joe. If you scroll down a bit you can see an image for Marvel Divas. Two of Spidey’s old friends, Black Cat and Firestar hanging out with Hellcat and Photon and it’s written by Sensational Spider-Man’s Roberto Aguirre-Sacassa also known as the last guy to put Shuma-Gorath in a Marvel comic in my lifetime? ME HAPPY! :party:

Just read ASM #591 and… sigh… If the story existed in a bubble, it’s fine. But if you try to connect this with his reveal in New Avengers, well, that’s where your headaches will start. Seems like all that needed to happen was a conversation between Slott and Bendis to make things run smoother or at least some more communication between respective editors. Eh I suppose the next few issues of New Avengers can repair things up a bit. Omega nerd spoiler rant coming later… :clown:
Slott had said in the “Weekly webbing” that his story comes BEFORE NA.
Maybe that will clear stuff up.
anyone watch the new spiderman cartoon on the CW? its garbage. no where near the quality of spiderman cartoon on fox in the late 90s.
In NA Spidey said that no one else knew his identity IIRC. Seriously all this would of taken was a phonecall between 2 writers.
Even so, there’s still problems but I’ll get to them later…
Disagree. New cartoon is a retelling of Lee/Ditko/Romita Sr. with tons of nods and things that people who read those stories will catch. The look may be simple but because of that the fight scenes animate really well.
90s cartoon had tons of problems. From cramming too many things in one episode, raping Secret Wars, making Electro the Red Skull’s son, resolving the “Who is the Hobgoblin arc” in ONE EPISODE! “Hey I wonder who the Hobgoblin is?” Answer coming after the commercial break… 
Hobgoblin coming before Green Goblin, what the… And Spidey NEVER PUNCHED ANYONE IN THE FACE. New Spidey has already punched Venom in the face like three times straight once, that’s what I’m talking about! :rock:
90s series wasn’t all bad since they did try to give people Spider-Man’s entire history in a few seasons, I give them props for that. And back then we did have some kind of Marvel cartoon continuity between that, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk and Fantastic Four - hell it was the closest Marvel’s ever gotten to having a DCAU equivalent in terms of a bunch of shows being in the same world.
But I still take Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends over 90s Spidey any day. Yes that had problems too like stupid ass Ms. Lion but oh well that was the 80s AKA the stupid mascot for every cartoon age. Snarf, Uni, Orko, the list goes on…Eh Slimer was kinda cool I guess…
ASM #591 along with nerd rant lol
[details=Spoiler]The best part was the beginning of the issue. When Spidey had his mask removed, he had no head! :lol: At first I thought the spell worked that way, which would of been crazy but nah it was just the Invisible Woman hiding his head. 
The comparison in the book to how time moved in the Macroverse to our time was also pretty cool. 
Spidey did reveal his identity to the FF and explained how things worked, within ASM it made a lot of sense. Actually, it all makes sense within ASM. Once you extend to NA, you have problems.
Spidey explained that how his identity worked, was people have selective memory of the past when his identity is involved and if they come close to figuring his ID out then they will draw another conclusion. Which explains why Norman Osborn could not figure out his ID during New Ways To Die and someone thought his neighbor Vin was Spider-Man for a time, never Peter. Mephisto was not mentioned, so we don’t know if he has selective memory himself about OMD or if he did something else afterwards.
He said the only way people can figure out who he is if he unmasks himself right in front of them. Once he does that then all of the memories people had of him come flooding back. Which is exactly what happened with the FF.
That is not what happened when he unmasked in front of NA. No one stepped up and said “Oh hey we were living you Peter what up!” Instead Jessica Jones remembered knowing him in High School which has nothing to do with anything. Hyper delayed reaction from everybody, huh?
The other problem started last issue, but I wanted to wait and see. When they said his adventure happened a “Couple of Years ago…” So his unmasking was a couple of years ago? Okay… This time they pinned it down as 2 years. Which is what JQ said all along, that there was a one year gap between OMD and BND. I just always figured he was talking out of his ass and it was more like 6 months or so. Anyway, during this one year gap, Spidey was not in costume. So, when the hell was this one year gap in New Avengers where Spidey was not on the team? 6 months is already a big stretch, but a year? :looney:
I liked the issue and the 2 story arc. It was a very solid FF / Spidey story. JJJ becoming the Mayor of NYC is full of LOLs! Don’t really care about JJJ’s father, why is that guy even alive? Him dating Aunt May is kinda funny though. 
My gripe is that it so could of flowed better with NA with just a little more effort. But hey it’s Marvel under JQ. “We’ll explain it later, keep reading! And if we don’t explain it then we will put the reasons why in a Marvel Universe book that I myself won’t read! Brevoort, get to work! Stan Lee spoiled you guys too much keeping 20 books straight, you expect us to keep TWO books straight! MAGIC! DOESN’T HAS TO BE EXPLAINED! DOESN’T HAS DOESN’T HAS DOESN’T HAS!” Lol I don’t even hate the guy really but geez c’mon it’s only 2 books and so easy to keep things straight with a little more communication…
Eh maybe Bendis and Wacker can spin all of this somehow… Shrug…[/details]
I liked this week’s Amazing. The scene at the end of the “adventure” segment was cute. HOLY SHIT @ THE ENDING!
Spiderman and his Amazing Friends?! IMO that show was garbage 90s Spidey all the way.:sleep:
But I love Spectacular Spiderman good thing it comes on Disney XD and not CW anymore, I couldn’t wake up in time. My only pet peeves about that show is that dot in the middle of Spiderman’s mask, that mole on Peter’s face, and the mechanical webbing (:nunchuck: brace for bashing)
Dude we had four origin episodes - One for Spidey (no dying little girl involved later with that), one for Firestar, one for Iceman and one for the team, a better voice for Spider-Man - Dave Gilvezen AKA Transformers Bumblebee - Black Knight’s only Animated appearance outside of the OOOOLD Marvel Superheroes show and Doctor Octopus with Cobra Commander / Starscream’s voice Chris Latta, RIP (Doctor Octopus has lived in America all his life, no need for that 90s cartoon accent). Hell we didn’t even need clones! We had 3 Video Mans. :lol: And the 90s show is still connected to that horrible Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon, Amazing Friends isn’t. TAKE THAT!
Ah well. Grew up watching Amazing Friends so a lot of things I excuse because I was about 9 years old. 
By the time the 90s cartoon came about I was a lot older and way more jaded. As usual I was happy to see Spider-Man on TV at the very least when 90s Spidey was on. He still never punched anyone in the face though. :arazz: J/K man to each their own.
I like Spectacular better than both so far. The 60s cartoon is tough to watch nowadays, but it did come up with the song. MTV Spidey was okay I guess, didn’t last long enough to judge.
You won’t hear me bitch about organic / mechanical web shooters. I’m fine with both. Most of the time people just don’t like whatever was not written by Stan Lee and can’t deal with any kind of changes. But LOL PAD invented organic webbing with Spider-Man 2099 way before the first movie came out. :looney:
I get the argument that with organic webbing you don’t show off his scientific knowledge, like you don’t have him invent the web shooters at 15. But if you use him properly you can still show that off. One of the coolest things about Spidey is that a lot of the time he used science - a really uncool thing - to beat villains. If you play that up a bit more you can have any kind of web shooters, so long as he doesn’t shoot webs out of his butt like real spiders. :wonder:
I do prefer mechanical to organic if given the choice. I get why BND gave him the mechanical ones back, but my rationale is once you go organic, you just can’t or shouldn’t go back to mechanical. I mean most of the time it was a non factor. Prior to BND, stories where he ran out of webbing were few and far between for it to matter where the webs came from. I don’t really mind that the mechanical web shooters are back though.
I have yet to see the new Cheeks animated Spectacular Spidey but the previous cartoons were shit-terrible.
The 3D Bendis one was alright, I suppose.
More so the 90’s one was holy crap bad than anything else.
The 80’s one wasn’t as bad as the 80’s X-Men…Australian Wolverine constantly sharpening his claws (uh what?) and that haunting theme song…
Spidey had Firestar and Iceman… it makes so little sense it HAS TO WORK.
(but it did not)
Spec Spidey >>>>> 90s Spidey(superfastexposition ftl) >>> other Spidey cartoons
Midtown comics is having on online sale for Spidey books that are not ASM.

EDIT: My Spider-Man: The Darkest Hours book just came in. I’ll post up a review later. I cheated and skipped to the last page and chances are I’m gonna like this one. Married Spider-Man forever! :lovin:
Really LOOOONG article from Spider-Man’s co-creator, Steve Ditko criticizing Marvel. Reads like The Question (another one of his characters BTW) deciphiring the comic book industry. :looney: Hella difficult to understand and really hard to read but he does have some good points here and there. Methinks he’s angry and being a bit too harsh but ohs well.
Thirteen page preview of this weeks Spider-Man Family! Spider-Girl hooray! :party:
Ditko comes out every few years to remind everyone he’s not dead, then heads back to his cave.
Spider-Man sketch by John Romita Sr. that I got online for 150 bucks like a sucker lol! Love Spider-Man too much. :lovin:

Finished reading the Spider-Man 2099 TPB that has the first 10 issues. Sooooo good. PAD rules! :rock: I hope they keep putting the series out in TPBs.
Still reading The Darkest Hours. Jim Butcher REALLY knows his Marvel continuity, from one CONTINUITY PORNOGRAPHER to another I’m really impressed! :tup: He started reading comics with X-Men’s Mutant Massacre, went back to read Secret Wars and everything else he could get his hands on. Loving this book! About half way through. Married Spidey oh yeah! :clapdos:
LOVED Spider-Girl’s first entry in Spider-Man Family. I was cracking up with lots of the dialog between May #1 and May #2. Big surprises in the issue and a great cliffhanger. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
It was nice seeing Upton, Bunson and Jeremiah from the old Spider-Ham comics all grown up in Swiney Girl! In the issue Swiney and Spidey fought the Hay Maker, who was a comedic play on Marvel’s Hate Monger. LOL the Hate Monger is Marvel’s variant of Hitler come back to life. :looney: Good story and the artwork is growing on me a bit.
Both of the BND stories were really strong too. Overall Spider-Man family was an excellent comic this month. Spider-Girl stole the show but it was all good. :tup:
The new Vulture actually has me interested in ASM for a change.
Spider-Girl in Spider-Man Family was great. Hmm I wonder if Spider-Man and Spider-Girl will learn that Darkdevil is Ben Reilly’s son soon, hmmm…
The Jackpot story was alright. Not much you can do to clean up her oh so terrible reveal / death. Reed did fill out a few of the blanks.
Quite enjoyed the other story in the book penciled by Frenz and inked by Buscema. I suppose it was a BND story, but it didn’t really matter if it was an M2 story or a BND one. The story was about Peter Parker being trapped on the elevator with two kids, one of them whose father returned from the war in Afghanistan with problems. A nice and touching tale.
I can take or leave Spider-Ma’am. Wish they ran Swiney Girl instead.
Still it was a tight issue. This is the only Spidey book I buy consistantly. :lovin:
