I don't think anyone has posted the preview for SOTGG#2.

>>143512408Ignoring your clientele's ranting is a dangerous move, especially in Marvel.
>>143512421Maybe it's mean to say but dude is lucky he didn't get hurt worse
>>143512431>be Norman Osborn>can't stomach loving your kiddo in a healthy way>you have to sneak into your son's bedroom in the middle of the night while Harry's ASLEEP to show the concern most manipulative parents would show to their child's face.This boy needs therapy.
>>143512460>uncharitable spidey, we love to see it.There was some talk last thread whetherJMD intended Emily Lyman to come across as sketchy or not. After this preview it definitely looks like he wants her to seem a bit villainous.
>>143512489Nice to see the colorist fixed Emily's eye color.
>>143512460RIP Harry. Your daddy is emotionally constipated.
>>143512489Is that some exposed fake titty in the bottom right?
>>143512489>uncharitable spidey, we love to see it.I don't know, I don't think I've seen Peter seething this hard about Norman before in situations where Norman hadn't just killed someone in front of him. Peter being like this when Norman's not even in the room, the Green Goblin's living rent free in Spider-Man's head.If this is meant to be an older, wiser Peter, he's seen Norman at his best as well as his worst, he knows the dude's complicated.
>>143512842Reads like an older version of a guy who lost his daughter to the villain desu. We also don't know what happened since then. Seething over Norman was 90s Peter's bread and butter and I can see an older version of the character still carrying the rage.
>>143513532A good reminder but you know people will inevitably respond. It's like they can't help themselves.
>>143513706
>>143512489in a just world we could've had a vengeful Emily coming back and seething when she sees Norman shacking up with a bitchy, girlboss Gwen.
>>143512842Peter's mind is reflecting on past loved ones who, in one way or another, lost their lives as a result of Norman. One is Spidey's Lost Lenore. The other is Pete's bestie, who passed away while attempting to fill Norman's shoes. He knows that Norman neglected Harry. Under those conditions, I doubt Peter would be in the best of moods to be accommodating toward an abusive father.
>>143513824Gwen is underage in this book you creep. Go back to the spider-boy thread.
>>143512421>>143512431New reaction images dropped.
Did we ever have a free comic book day storytime thread for Spider-Man?
>>143512396We also got a preview for this week's Blood Hunt tie-in starring everyone's favorite living vampire, right?

>>143512396No FCBD comic yet?
>>143514986Not yet. I've been checking as often as I can between my work shifts. If nothing else, I'll check if my store has anything left when I pick up my order on Wednesday from the LCS.
>>143512396Remember to buy Spider-Boy because Dan Slott is getting married, and it's rough in this economy.
>>143515395Nah. Slott can fend for himself.
>>143512842I have never accepted that holier than thou bullshit from the 2000s regarding Norman, completely at odds with Peter's personality and what makes him so human.>>143514954Proto-Goblin retcon is a hard sell to be fair.
>>143515902Peter can be petty, rather than Saint-like, especially when it comes to an arch enemy. The fuck is Peter supposed to do? He can’t fix Norman’s life for him. The best he can do is beat the living shit out of him.
>>143515902I'll take your word for it, but it's bizarre to me that it's harder to sell something that has existed longer than I've been alive than IP farming: the series.
>>143514879>Web Of Spider-Man #1 (2nd Printing Cover A Ryan Brown), $7.99I'm surprised this got a second printing. The Gobby cover is great tho
>>143512489It's starting to look like Emily and Norman were a mean girl couple.

>>143512421Remember when that one story where it was revealed that Sandman purposely lost the vacuum fight with Spidey.
is this Gwenschizo's new gimmick or what's going on here?
>>143518760Don't feed the troll that means this is guy
>>143518760huhso is the takeaway here either>Wells and Lowe realized that shitting on MJ so heavily was biting them in the ass so they're slowly backtrackingor>this was ragebait from the start and now they're just swinging back in the other direction again as an illusion of hearing out the arguments>>143518799oh, it is the schizo. Nevermind
>>143518175Weird retcon. Could you tell me the issue? What kind of motivation would compel a man to purposefully lose to cleaning common household supplies?>>143518309Probably. I've just been ignoring the harmless spam. Typical Spider-Man thread activity desu.
>>143518799Not the schizo, jackass
>>143518810>oh, it is the schizo. NevermindDon't feed the troll.
>>143518830
>>143518087You never can know absolutely everything about your parents and Harry's are more secretive than most.
>>143514986lol I have it but I sure am fuck not posting it here.
>>143518956Norman and Harry both have a problem with putting away the rose-colored glasses.
>>143519027
>>143514632none of the marvel FCBD books have been scanned or are currently digitaly available. Thus it is impossible to storytime. The digital copies will most likely be available oh in about a month time.
>>143518829Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual.
>>143519076
>>143519150Getting desperate for scans of that FCBD are we? have a nice one month wait. for it
>>143519156Did you kill off all the X-Men threads already? They seem to really hate you there.
Not buying anything until they fire and black list Nick lowe and Zeb wells.Also fire and black list Brevoort and Dan Slott.
>>143512489Based
I only feel like posting the spider-relevant part of fcbd.
>>143521896
>>143521910
>>143521921
>>143521936
>>143521953Sorry
>>143521972My camera is shit and I was really hoping someone else would post it.
>>143521987And that's all for spider-man stuff.
I hope whoever replaces zeb wells understands that bad writing kills fanbases because, as this run goes on, we have slowly become a ghost town. I miss when we had people.
>>143512489I feel like I've seen that bathrobe somewhere.
>>143522606We have a schizo.At least Ultimate threads are pretty active.
>>143521972Prove how sorry you are by transcribing the comic.
>>143523549>>143523549there doesn't seem to be anything worth transcribing. The fake dates were set up by the Living Brain, who wanted to warn Peter about Norman before Norman stopped it. Also Peter had to abandon Shay the Nurse for like ten seconds in order to suit up as Spider-Man, which pissed her off and now she's broken up with him, which is a plot so tired even Steve Ditko worried it was being overused after the third time it happened in his own run.
>>143523610It's funny to remember how the writers were poking fun at themselves during Peter's first date with MJ in ASM Issue 43, all the way back in the 1960s, and decided to flip the script on its head so that MJ had a great time thanks to superhero shit happening instead?John Romita and Stan Lee are dead and moldering in the earth, but even in the 60s they were more clever than Zeb Wells. And it's very funny to remember that the first real time they decided to break from The Formula with Peter's romantic troubles was also during his first time meeting MJ.
>>143523729They weren't pure unfiltered nepo babies. Nepotism and censorship prevents talent from thrivit.
>>143522009Why dis the colorist make Norman's skin darker than Peter's?
>>143519185What the fuck are you talking about, you moron?
>>143524351His wave game so on point they're fixing to retcon Norman as a light skinned poc.
>>143524447>>143524447I'll believe it when someone makes Stanley, the actual mixed race Osborn, look darker than circles milk.
>>143524505What the hell is circles milk?
>>143524505Lily herself is only half-Black, so how dark should Stanley be.
>>143524584Cereal milk.>>143524593I don't remember that being canon so I'm currently looking through her appearances for any confirmation. I just remember that she's not a natural blonde and she dyes it.
>>143525497
>>143525712 Oh! Hey cool! That gives me more information on her! Thanks! I'm still going on a Lily binge since I don't remember as much about her as I'd like. It's surprisingly fun! Even if I think Slott should be banned from writing Daredevil for life.
>>143525978Oh yeaaah. To answer your question, since I just realized I forgot. Pigment-wise, it doesn't matter if Lily was biracial or not; a biracial child can and has been darker (or lighter, but nah, to that) than both parents in reality because genetics do what they want. What I'd like is for Stanley to be a redhead, because I think all Osborns should have red hair, but my preference for Stan is to have darker skin like Ed from Cowboy Bebop. It helps differentiate his design from Normie better.
>>143525978>enjoying bnd>>143526183>Cowboy BebopGo back to /a/
>>143526359After Wells, some of it just doesn't seem as bad. Also, Ed is cute.
>>143526771This fandom is going to be real easy for the next writer.
>>143527244Either that or fans will be piling dozens of demands on them to fix whatever pet peeve that fan has with current Spider-Man continuity.
I like to think Lily is a white child adopted by black parents, but she still doesn't realize she's white so she over-tans her skin in the hopes of looking like her parents. They've tried to tell her she's of a different race, but she's not the brightest.That's a lot funnier to me. Simple as
>>143527478The minor outcry over Ms. Marvel wasn't enough. Lowe should have Wells write this idea so they'll get crucified for racism again on social media and news outlets.
>>143522009>norman "i couldve stopped fnaf im just different like that idk" osborn
>>143521987
>>143527650His grandson is old enough to take an interest. He might know what FNAF is lol.
>>143512460Given how unusually, JMD has never written a sympathetic story for Norman and arguably was one of the writers who established the returned Norman's more evil characterisation, it's interesting to see it here.I don't think he ever hated Norman, he just happened to be on board for the post-Clone Saga issues and otherwise had written Norman as a haunting memory of Harry's.
Please someone else then the usual autist storytime it this time.
>>143528511It's easy to write a ghost as lacking humanity but I'm glad JMD likes giving his characters a bit of grey. Seeing it done to the backdrop of Peter acknowledging he's being a little unfair and doesn't care is neat too.
>>143528728It would be easy if these darn things had a digital code.
>>143521936That's too old of an excuse to work, Parker.
>>143530186It’s funny because he’s made much better excuses in the past, even in the 70s.“Oh, you’re good? Okay, I’m going to go back inside and take pictures for the Bugle, don’t wait up.”It honestly reads like he’s too checked out and barely gives enough of a fuck about Shay to give a better excuse. He just wants to throw up as many red flags as he possibly can as quickly as possible, and to get her to leave him alone. He’s clearly still not over MJ I guess.
>>143530791Yeah, any girl would be upset after this. Sure, Peter's calling Spidey, but from an outsider's perspective, he could have done that while the two were escaping together. Instead, it looks like Pete left without even telling her. That's just not cool
>>143521896>>143521910>>143521921>>143521936>>143521953>>143521972>>143521987>>143522009Jesus fucking christ next time post scans of a book properly or don't bother at all Sheesh.
>>143521987>My camera is shit and I was really hoping someone else would post it.Holy shit.
>>143521987Norman's waves are looking really atrocious here
>>143531955Oh do piss off you can't even post a fucking bookj properly can thanks for posting it sideways asshole.
>>143531955YOU POSTED THE FUCKING BOOK SIDEWAYS |DELIBERATELY DIDN'T YOU JUST TO ANNOY OTHERS RIGHT? PISS OFF
>>143532023Why are you jumping on an anon making an observation? You can tell the waves are bad through the grainy camera shot.
>>143532297Yeah he fucked up deliberately screw that guy and this shit thread.
>>143532297it's just Gwenschizo trying to troll, ignore him or call him a fag
>>143532357oh do shut up I tuly hate people like you who intentionally post books that way.
>>143528469>Norman might know what skibidi toilet isdo you think he doomscrolls on tiktok as well?
>>143533427Yes
>>143534298piss off .
>>143531955What are you going to post next you standing on uour head in addition to a fucked up posted book get the fuck out of here retard.
>>143534346>What are you going to post next
>>143534374Once again you are intentionally going off-topic for no reason we all know Gwen stacy is long dead now get the fuck out of here and post yourself standing on your head instead.
>>143534374I want to see this retard hammer himself on the head untill he fucking dies. Gwen Stacy is long dead you moron.
>>143534374You are only killing the thread this way faster Gwen Stacy is long dead cut the shit out.
>>143534469>>143534491what
>>143533427Memes are a vicious intergenerational cycle.
>>143534315What
>>143535588It's so weird that Peter doesn't interact with Normie and Stanley. There's no reason for it either. He's just chosen not to talk to his godchildren.
>>143519150I'm tempted to make a dissociative amnesia joke.
>>143531419It's disgusting. The writers aren't really trying to make a the love interesting work, it sinks in a FCBD issue of all things.What a waste.>>143530791>He’s clearly still not over MJ I guess.This point, MJ is more of a curse, from a writing perspective. I say, it isn't the first time she gets with a guy that isn't Peter, how about give Peter a fucking chance? They already ruined the things with three girls in a row, Felicia included.
>>143536703I wouldn't wish Wells Peter on any woman, including Mary Jane.
>>143536142If you can mingle with the likes of Norman Osborn, you can play with the kiddos too. It's not like either one of them has murdered his loved ones...yet.
>>143536142It's infuriating that Peter didn't even appear in that Red Goblin mess. He's not even aware that Normie's doing it
>>143537271To be fair, Normie's mother doesn't know about his symbiote connection but it looks bad when Miles knows about Norman the half pint's activities but Peter and Liz are in the dark.
>>143537178Fair enough. But, I don't believe Marvel have a single writer who knows how to write Peter "correctly" by now.What is actually missiong to write a decent Peter/Spidey?
>>143537667Well they do. JMD is still right there, and I'm pretty sure he's expressed interest in doing an ongoing
>>143537933JMD's an older man and I'd worry about the stress a monthly or worse, bi-monthly would do to him.
>>143538028Proposed compromise: Make JMD and Gleason co-writers on a monthly book or make JMD an editor. He and Gleason could be a cool team and as editor, he wouldn't know much about continuity but at least he could stop bad character writing before it started. It's not like Lowe is a master of continuity or enforces it either.
>>143538104The only issue is that being editor would subject JMD to both Miles and Spider-Verse
Lynch Disney
>>143538512I HATE HOMEMADE SUITSI HATE HOMEMADE SUITS
>>143518810They are absolutely not doing the second one.It’s a walkback.Let’s not forget Paul was supposed to be “mysteriously married” to MJ over a year ago. Which is something no editor would fuck up no matter how bad at their job they were. There was also a cover drawn by Ed McGuinness where MJ was wearing the Jackpot bracelet and also had a WEDDING RING on her left hand.Lowe claimed it was a fuck-up to cover his ass because he knew people would be pissed at their actual intentions.And now he’s just her “partner”. And hasn’t been mentioned in ASM for almost a half-dozen issues even when you’d expect him to be. And MJ is teasing she is still in love with Peter.And Paul doesn’t even speak when he does show up, even when the artwork clearly shows he’s supposed to be speaking.They’re walking him back.They’re dragging this shit out as long as they can but they are absolutely nullifying what Paul was supposed to have been.
>>143540188The letters point to that too with Lowe saying jackpot is temporary
>>143540188You are underestimating just how incompetent Lowe is. They're backtracking. But Lowe also didn't catch two issues had the same issue number...
>>143541060Wait which two issues was this?
>>143540188They also backtracked Chasm slightly. After ASM 93 they called Chasm the "newest addition to Spider-Man's rogues gallery" but more recently they said they weren't really comfortable calling him a villain. And you just KNOW it's because of how badly Dark Web was hated. This current era of Spider-Man has a tendency to walk back stuff when people get too pissed.
>>143541553>This current era of Spider-Man has a tendency to walk back stuff when people get too pissed.Honestly? That's fine and totally reasonable. It is in fact, the bare minimum your customers ought to expect.
>>143538234That poor dude doesn't deserve that nonsense.
>>143541553It's annoying though because they don't do it properly nor do they attempt to tell good stories with what they currently have going.Instead they just take half-measures to slowly back down instead of just owning up to a mistake
>>143541085Both issues 44 and 45 had the same legacy number as 938
>>143542015Funny thing is if Lowe weren't such an asshole, you'd let it slide, because mistakes happen. Him beind a dick just makes me go "bravo, Lowe!"
>>143542439"Mistakes happen" is Lowe's editorial style. It's different if they happen rarely.
>>143540970MJ as the second Jackpot shouldn't have existed at all.
>>143537271I've heard that Normie will be attending Avengers Academy. I wonder how many people are going to know before Peter finds out.
>>143543323**third Jackpot, actually. There were two of them during Brand New Day
>>143543404Was the other one also a redhead?
>>143543424All three Jackpots have been redheads.
>>143538512>>143538671I can't to put to words why I hate this so much. But you can probably guess why.
>>143545947He's canadian.
>>143544274I wonder if the earlier Jackpots were supposed to be MJ before the editors did their job.
>>143545972Jackpot was used as pure reader bait, in order to retain interest for Brand New Day after the shitshow that was One More Day.
Speaking of, does anyone here remember the time starting with The Other until OMD when Spidey had 3 different ongoings? Sensational (re-named Marvel Knights), Friendly Neighborhood and ASM? That was when I actually first started reading Spidey.
>>143541938I mean, the letters page for the issue outright points out that making MJ Jackpot and NOT having Peter be a big part of that is a fuck-up.And that’s because it wasn’t done in good faith. It was done out of spite.Chasm is the same way. They’ll never admit to it, but they absolutely wanted to alter these characters into something they’re not. And people hated it, so they’re slowly backing off.
>>143543404What’s weirder is that the previous Jackpot’s have nothing to do with the codename.MJ called herself that because she was reminded of the first thing she said to Peter.Which makes it EVEN FUCKING DUMBER that she’s not with Peter and yet is still using the name based on her former love for him.Real “I’m divorcing you but keeping your surname” energy.
>>143546575I think it's meant to be that she still has a torch for him but they're incompetent
>>143544274No, I think at least one of them was a brunette in a wig.
https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/56863/top-50-comics-april-2024>Ultimate Spider-Man dominates AGAIN with Issue 4NOOO THEY WERE JUST HECKIN TALKING NOBODY IS PUNCHING EACH OTHER NOBODY IS WEARING A COSTUME THIS ISNT RIGHT THIS ISNT FUCKING FAIR
>>143548316Usm 3 also got a third reprint.
>>143549027Based AF
>>143549027It’s funny because the reprints shouldn’t keep on happening. They have more orders now, they logically should know how much to print in the first run. We should see fewer reprints just because they printed enough for everyone in the first run this time.That’s crazy, and it also means demand is still going up.
>>143543390Where did Normie appear?
>>143541814Never said it was a bad thing, just an observation
>>143545972The first one was teased as MJ before they revealed she was some rando who bought the identity off the second, also a rando.
>>143548316I don't get the extreme interest in the alt title but I'm glad to see something with a married Peter who has kids get so much attention.
>>143551935I'm just glad people are enjoying a Spider-Man title.
