They are out of their gourds. They wrote the black costume out of the story permanently because the old school fans bitched, and what we’re getting instead is this crap?

Now that is one ugly costume.
When I was reading Spidey, I liked the costume from Spider-Man 2099.
The eyes look very odd, and those sock/spats looking things on his feet are terrible. It seems metallic and reflective, and part of what made Spider-Man intimidating was his sudden appearance out of shadows. A shiny costume sort of defeats that.
I doubt it will last.
Remember Spider Armor?
So what were “the shocking events in “The Other” storyline” and the “newest developments” he has to adjust to?
“If I ever caught myself dressed like that, I’d kick my own ass!”
is that the same cocoon he came out of with the organic web-shooters? That isn’t mentioned in the article. He didn’t actually cocoon twice, did he?
I’m sure that this is just a temporary gimmick, folks.
Most likely. Besides, how many spider titles and incarnations are there? Marvel has successfully diluted its characters over the years by doing stuff like this.
They need a company wide reboot, but are too CS to do it.
It is,however, nice to see superheroes actually consult other superheroes.
I mean, if I were Spiderman and I had all these enemies why not just drop into the Avengers mansion and ask for Thor:
SM: Er…Thor, having a slight problem here, you see I have this villand named Dr. Ock who has these metal arms and all…and well, seeing as how you create lighting I figured you might be able to sort him out for me.
Thor: Forsooth etc.
One panel later we see the NYPD scooping what’s left of the bad Doctor into a bag.
Sorry, went off on a tagent there…
Yeah, but where would the fun be in that?
Batman: Hey, Clark. The Joker is on the loose again. Can you fly to Gotham City and pick him up and do that laser eye lobotomy thing on him. I’m really getting sick and tired of having to get the crap beaten out of me in order to lock him up only to have him escape again and again.
I’m going to bump this, because I’m curious about the above question still.
Different cocoon. First one was caused by some crazy spider lady. This one came from within.
Yeah, it’s all kinds of messed up. Eh. Bleh. JMS is not doing good things for Spidey. I’d love to see him on Dr. Strange or Hulk, or something.
He looks like beef jerky.
Thanks E-Sabbath
Just anothe vote of euuuuuuych for the new costume.
The classic blue-and-reds are neat, and the all-black look was respectable. The Spider-Man 2099 look worked for Miguel, but I can’t see Peter wearing that at all.
I’m disappointed. To me, JMS was one of the best Spider Man writers. Seemed to have a good grasp of the character, managing to keep him quippy without turning him into an annoying, whiny, jackass (I’m looking at you Bendis :mad: ).
The Other? It’s crap. I hate the whole “Spider Men of history” mythos. New powers? :rolleyes: New armored costume? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Hey kids, it’s Azbats and Red/blue superman rolled into one.
This had better be a temporary thing, because this Spider fan isn’t buying any Marvel Comics until this crap is retconned.
Yeah. I know. Scary nerd rage. Oooooooo
They could have at least given him an original new costume. This one is new like U.S.Agent’s and War Machine’s costumes were new. Like a crappy action figure, we’ve recolored something successful and set it forth for you to consume!
JMS writes a good Spider-Man the character, but I can’t stand the ‘mythic spider’ plotlines. It’s just not Spidey to me. Bendis, I think, in Ultimate Spider-Man, is writing really good stories for Spidey to be in.
