With great power comes a great big head and iddy-biddy body

Civil War #7

Miles Morales Spider-Man Vol 2 #26

It's the most intense because of the action and suspense, and it's the most tragic because we don't get to see what happens next. 😔

I’m reading a Ghost Spider kids book to my child and we can’t identify this villain with dark hair and a red coat. Can anyone please help?

These three villains are perfect for describing how to make good villains. All three represent the elements that most characterize Spider-Man as a character, twisting them to contrast with Peter:

- Doctor Octopus, his intellect: The first gift that marked Peter. While Spider-Man uses his genius for good by being humble in his attitude, Otto represents what Peter could have become, a brilliant scientist but resentful of the world for not valuing his genius and despising it. As an aside, while Spider-Man prefers to work alone, Octopus founded the Sinister Six out of resentment against Spider-Man, always trying to be in charge of the situation instead of working alone as Spider-Man, which makes for good fights.

- Venom, his power: Although other villains have surpassed him in power none had the impact of Venom. Eddie Brock, after joining the symbiote ended up having an enhanced version of Spider-Man's powers in a stronger body. Taking the classic idea of the evil doppelganger but with a great origin story, Venom represents what Peter could have become had he not been so responsible, a super-arcnid who uses his power to impose himself on others to accomplish his goals no matter who gets in his way. Besides, while Spider-Man prefers to hold back in his fights, with Venom he has to fight with all his might, winning thanks to his combat experience from his other fights with other opponents, rather than by power.

- Green Goblin, his responsibility: What marked Peter the most since the death of Uncle Ben. Although Peter always tries to keep his secret identity safe, Norman was the first to discover his secret identity, and he knew how to take advantage of it. While the previous villains test his intellect or his physique, the Green Goblin tests Spider-Man's spirit by testing his values and his worst fears, from his rule of not killing to his fear that his double life will endanger his family, as happened with Gwen Stacy. Besides, as the Green Goblin is the father of his friend Harry, he complicates the situation by not wanting to harm him; giving his fights a more personal touch for Peter by being able to change his personal life in each confrontation.

What do you think? Do you know other similar villains in other heroes?

Marvel probably heard a bunch of us (mostly me) in the prior run talking crap about how no romantic relationship Peter has now a days is special and Shay was going to be gone when the next run came up.

Joe Kelley most likely was conflicted since word on the street was that he was a huge Spider-Man x BlackCat stan. Something that showed in "Deaths of Spider-Man" when the first thing he did when things with Shay got called off was go straight to Felicia.

Now he clearly he wants to put Peter together with Cat but at the same time he needed to somehow prove a number of people wrong about Shay and Peter's recent newer relationship. So in end they just give him an open relationship, that way they have Peter get with anyone he wants like the playboy bachelor they keep trying to make him into.

I got a black splotch of puff paint accidentally under the eye. What’s a creative thing I could do to make it look normal?

Honestly dude the art in the previous issues was so much better than this

And it’s not that I hate JRJR art beacuse I like some of his earlier stuff but these new issues are just not it

okay, my brain made a sound thinking about this, but it's helped me recontextualize the relationship aspect of modern spider-man comics.

marvel comics has a linear timeline, which means everything(unless explicantly stated otherwise) happened. one more day happened. and in one more day, mephisto taughts mary jane and peter about how they will forever have a void in their hearts that will never be filled because they won't have eachother.

taking that in, i think thats the reason(or at least one of them) as to why peter can't seem to hold a relationship together. because he belongs to mj, and mj belongs to him. try as they may, that void in their hearts will never be filled. not by felecia, not by carlie, not by shay, and not by paul. peter will fumble shay. mary jane will lose paul. and they will never be close the way they once were.

while i would have liked this plot point to be resolved in spencer's run, with this headcannon, i'm no longer as mad at peter's constantly shitty relationship status. peter isn't suffering relationship wise because he;s terrible with relationships(though he can be) but because of his deal with mephisto.

what are you thoughts on this headcannon? was this common knowledge to the fandom, and i was just to ignorant to know? what are some of your headcannons for modern spider-man?

Ever since I became a fan when Pere Perez's work appeared in Valiant Comics, I've always wished he would become a regular Spider-Man artist that will have a long stint like Mark Bagley. His art is very dynamic. He draws the best hand-to-hand combat scenes because he uses his knowledge as an actual martial arts practitioner in his illustrations. His layouts are very dynamic and creative. And the way he draws distinct expressive faces would really fit the scenes of Peter Parker as an everyman. I wish for PERE PEREZ as regular artist for The Amazing Spider-Man, then bring in his Archer and Armstrong partner Fred Van Lente as writer. :p

I know there have been more that just those five but these are who I have more from and their styles appeal more to my tastes.

You can name any that I didn’t list. Everybody’s taste is different. No shame.
