ITS BACKAGAINStorytime is now free of all clone shenanigans and will be returning with some rather tepid Spider-offerings>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/axC0PSZa
Spidey, I think you got two of your bubbles mixed up
>>150985608I love the Archie Comics influence in this series. More so with Jason and Tiny, who are Reggie and Moose, but Flash is drawn like a slightly more realistic Archie.
>>150985662Yeah I dig the near authentic retro feel
>>150985686But not too retro, if they’d tried to do it in pastiche Ditko style I don’t think it would have worked. It’s a nostalgia comic but not actually an imitation of Lee/Ditko.
>>150985515WE ARE SO BACK!
>>150985723It's got a modern sensibility to it, you could say
oooh scary name
Woah, a mystery girl
Now we're just going to jump into some shit we got zero context for
Okay, so we're still in the shadow of Onslaught
>>150985515I already miss Ben
>>150985842Mark Gruenwald is co-credited with his successor as editor, so this may be one of the issues he was working on when he suddenly died. RIP
Is Code Blue, like, still around?
>>150985812I don't know who this is but she'd look better tastefully positioned behind a lamp
That's good junior hero workIgnore the bad guy, focus on crowd control
>>150985529This is a FAR cry from the dreadful girl boss Betty we had not too long ago. Talk about going from one extreme to another.
Now we're just gonna jump right to the end of this saga methinks
>>150986075Thank god, I thought we were getting six issue of this
This might be the only spider-appearance in this issueI didn't vet these very well this time
>>150985515What's going on with his left leg?
>>150986075So, I'm guessing right now JiM was a book for Thor related stuff without Thor. Huh, it would be an interesting time period to visit in another storytime.
>>150985515Magi's back! Back again! Tell a friend!>AAAAKCaptcha, this is Spider-Man, not Cathy.
>>150986138Thor got Onslaught'd, right? Or was Thunderstrike still Thor at that time?Either way some book has to fill the Asgardian gap
>>150985515Can it be?! Non-Mutant Hero Action as told by our Mighty Magister?!
>>150986164Thunderstrike definitely wasn't Thor anymore, and I'm pretty sure he was canned by that point too
Man, they're bringing all the cameos. This is a big finale
>>150986164Yeah, Thor, Namor, Bruce Banner, Cap, Scarlet Witch, Crystal, The F4, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Doom(Not by Choice), Wasp, Hank Pym, Vision and few others got Onslaught'd
>>150986164Have people come back from Onslaught yet? God, that feels like a long time ago now. I'm not sure if Peter even plays a roll in Heroes Return, or the pre-unmasking Thunderbolts. I know Thunderstrike isn't Thor anymore since he had his own book.
>>150986164One huge indignity for Thor is that he didn't get a book of his own during Heroes Reborn. Presumably that's why they continued his original comic this way instead of canceling it outright.Thor took several months to get his own book again after all the other Heroes Return books were revived too.
>>150986206Peter's definitely there for Heroes Return, not sure how important he is overall but he's there at the start.The last Spider-Man Team-Up is with a pre-unmasked Thunderbolts too
>>150986245Okay, so we'll at least have some point of reference when they are about to come back.
>>150986090No one gives me that "yes, this is Marvel" feel like Sal Buscema.
>>150986267Man, I miss old Loki. Don't get me wrong, I like what we have more, but I wish we could also have this.
>>150985627This Brock fella feels like an upstanding journalist of integrity.

>>150985649I still can't shake how this looks like older Peter from Spider-Girl.
>>150985963A quick look at the wiki make it seem like their appearances petered out over the years. Looks their most recent appearance was back in 2019.
>>150986384>Same artist>Same hair>Same goateeI see it
>>150986009Artist and colorist alike definitely unfamilar with Rigger. And I don't just mean how she's barely half the size she was in those Thunderstrike issues.
>>150986206>Have people come back from Onslaught yet?Does this answer that?
>>150985805When Terry McGinnis did this, they called him a murderer. But when Peter does this it's fiiiine.
>>150986428But he said right there on the page that he'll be fine
>>150986428Terry needed a writer to put in a hasty thought balloon explaining that it won't kill him.
Y'all remember Access?
>>150986454Time out, the Marvel DC crossover? This counts?
>>150986454Barely
>>150985963Nothing says 90s like overcompensating bulky guns.
Oh right, this kind of a big deal
>>150986497Ben spotted
>>150986454It's a shame that we won't be covering the best Marvel/DC crossover during this
>>150986481I do like the idea of a crew of high tech cops taking on super criminals in 616 NYC
>>150986537Yeah, Spider-Man/Backlash!! ,....What?
>>150986550I would like revenge on whoever came up with the idea of putting characters' logos in dialogue balloons."It's Superman." Just say "Superman," what does it even mean to talk in logo form?
>>150986579Silence, minion
>>150986579I like 'em
Clark isn't exactly bringing his A game today
>>150986687I assume that Peter just knows everything Ben knew from that event
>Stanley's House of IdeasHehThis marks the end of the glorious return!Tomorrow I promise more spider-material. Or at least more spider-adjacent material
>>150986831Thanks for storytiming, Magister!
>>150986831Thanks Magister. Good to have you back
>>150986831Thanks magister
>>150985515Why is MC2 Peter slapping the shit out of his younger self?
>>150987915>MEPHISTO, REALLY?
>>150987985That didn't happen yet!
>>150986454Every fucking day
>>150985515thanks anon.
>>150985515Look how that man just slaps Spidey like he's nothing
