ITT: We have secret discussions....about a certain superhero. Discussions that are civil and fall within da rules. Discussions we keep to ourselves and that make us da men we are. Spidah-Men. And I'm talking about real discussions about what made us Spidah-Men. Da little details that truly put everything together in da full package. What makes da greatest hero in da world part of da greatest city in da world. And if anybody horns in on the fun...well my ol' pal Spidah-Man here is willing to break a few necks. 'Specially polack ones...Da jannies?! Fuggedaboutit. Who needs 'em. Me, Paulie, and Spidah-Man do well enuf on our own. What we have here is family. And no pencil-neck nobodies on 50th Street, 1290 Avenue of the Americas are gonna take dat away from us. 'Specially Spidah-Man. I saw 'em take on a goblin-schiesters. When he pulled out da gat? Dey were shittin' bricks I tell ya what...I coulda swore Ben Grimm was around here.
Oh and I'm not any old wiseguy. I know a few languages. How do I? I knew the Chinese godfather. Did he teach me Chinese? No way. He did however teach me dis nifty thing on da Google dat allows my Iberian....dialect to still come thru' to everyone here. Now if somebody starts spammin' all ya gotta do is use dis gagdet and da dumb mothafucka gets confused. The things dey come up with nowadays... Anyway, I like dis piece of art. Speaks to me. I'm in the middle of dat Conway fella's run. It's damn good so far.
One bodacious babe.
Black and white Noir would be so kino. Hopefully there's some good stuff with Cage. Felicia being asian....eh....
If Spidah-Man became more Kamen and less Supaidah-Man, would you want his motorcycle to look more like a Triumph bike or something else? 8 headlights would be cool and Peter's always been a bike guy to me rather than the car even if I also like the Spider-Mobile.
>Earth-2 Superman and Spidah-Man Noir.Shame about the writer chosen to do the story.
>>152684509A damn shame...dat cocksucka's work ain't worth the paper its printed on.
>>152684567
The series? Eh.This cover art? Pretty cool. Man-Spider could be done better where you can involve the mind-scape or make it a dedicated supporting cast arc where because Peter is a monster for most of it, perhaps Robbie could galvanize other people in Peter's life to break the hold, the spider has over Peter. I dunno just an idea.
90's art.....Soul.....
>>152685022>90's art.I miss it. Not many can match it these days.
>>152685290There is a decent crop of artists today who could match the heights but probably not to the sheer number of pages required in the amount of time these guys had.
Mary Jane /fa/.....
Pic rel is reminiscent of that one famous Batman image. I can detect a slight hint of Ditko putting forth his inspiration onto this image. And any parallels are really cool to me. Wish there were more interviews Jerry Robinson gave about Ditko but I also respect him, respecting Ditko's privacy.
>>152685319Yeah, sadly not.
>>152685447Well we'll have to take what we can get. I think soon I might write more and actually draw for fun while trying out some actual real techniques like drawing my owns to see the proportions of faces and where shit is placed so it looks good. But eh...I'm in no rush. Writing however...I think that is my strong suit and this idea vexes me with how it pervades my mind and yet I waste time here. Oh well...I'm beginning to tire of 4chan but I think after having a bit more funposting in a thread like this will be a good final hurrah.
>My Spider-Sense IS TINGLING>Meanwhile...>Randy: Yo Pete, why are you stanced up like that?>Peter: Oh it's nothing Robbie....I just need to go fetch some disinfectant from the bathroom. I'll brb. >Robbie: Bruh...if he gotta jack off to MJ's new photo shoot, he can just say so....Whoa, Jim Cameron.....this is pretty based.
>The one, true timeline.
>>152685702>A world where Slott didn't meet DeFalcoThe thought warms my heart.
Good cover.
Best of enemies. Kino.
Muy caliente...
MY HERO!
>>152685922That’s cool art, do you know who drew it?
>>152685962We have this handy thing called SauceNAO and google reverse image search located here on 4chan. I'll let you try and find it. But yeah, enough bustin' balls. I'll give this one to you free. It's by jpegkhan.
This latino is cool.
>>152685994Thanks, saucenao and yandex weren’t working so I didn’t even think to try google
>>152686017Yeah. I didn't mean to be mean at all. I just usually take that as a sign that it is someone is tech illiterate or hasn't lurked here at all b4 posting. But yeah when I initially used them to download and find shit, they sometimes confused me or didn't work.
>>152685750>>152685737she's so cool
>Scott Johnson merch artYeah we probably all grew up with this. Dude better get some royalties or something at least. Merch and movies were what keeps that company afloat. I bet all that could've have had some wealth distributed to the actual creators. Which you know could have made it easier for them to stay in the business, work for Marvel and create new ideas. Or y'know because it is the morally right thing to do...
>>152686100Indeed. MY HEROINE...is very cute, pretty, resourceful, and strong-willed.......and RESPONSIBLE.
>>152685994>>152686017I always say that saucenao didn't work in my post just so anon doesn't call me a retard and knows my position
>>152686121>positionWhat? Does SauceNao track people?Don't scare me anon...
>>152686108her cousin is cool as hell too
>>152686130Another true response, from a true-believer.
>>152686130>>152686151I kinda wish she also wore pic rel a couple of times. Damn....
>>152686156I don't remember this from the SG comics, did April ever wear it? It's so good what the fuck
>>152686165It is an early concept design for her, I am pretty sure. It is in an extra page in a collected edition or one of the issues. Sorry I forget.
>>152686165Speaking of sexy...more women would probably read Spider-Man if he and MJ were married (with Felicia there too) and were depicted with a lot of ass shots/chest shots and more cheesecake than you could shoot a web at.But nah we gotta make these books for kids...even though we had Kindred and a bunch of other edgy shit in the 00's.
>>152686165This version of Mayhem was supposed to be from that dark parallel Earth Mayday visited where she fought an evil Nazi Peter.
>>152686203Oh ok. Then the backside of that outfit should be cut even lower...to reveal more of her crack...but to also emphasizs how....evil she is.
>>152686130>created with DNA purchased from Venom as a way for Norman Osborn to obtain immortality in her body by recording his consciousnessI think the Clone Saga was a mistake
If anybody is still here and the thread exists until morning, I'd appreciate it. I have to go soon. Also posting cool inked/black and white art is also always good in my book.
>>152686229Ah now I remember. Yeah that bit is a little...weird. But I wouldn't put that on Clone Saga. I'd put that on DeFalco being an innocent old man who either is being not innocent and actually has some weird fetish or he is just trying to create stakes through old sci-fi cliches that he didn't think would be seen a different way on 4chan.
An image pretty much made for Scholastic visual guide books, wallpapers, video essays, etc.
Based Bagley.
One of the best episodes.
I can't find a full scan of this particular image, but it was from Marvel Universe Millenial Visions 2001. I always thought this Spider-Man's costume was neat.
Ok I think I will take a break for now. If thread 404's that's ok. But I hope to see this up tomorrow.
>>152686371Ok now I'm taking a break. Realized the 75th post was next. Might as post pic rel which is one of my favorite underrated covers.
>>152686200Do you mean cheesecake of the women or of Peter? Because the latter would be more likely to draw in women, but you risk alienating male audiences. And vice versa, more sexualization of the women would probably just annoy female fans. It’s already annoying seeing fans who treat Pete as some kind of gary stu harem anime protag, women don’t tend to fawn over male characters who reek of generic self-insert.But I’d say for a male oriented franchise, Spider-man as-is already has good appeal to both genders. The biggest and most obvious improvement would be treating the relationship aspects as more important to get women invested. Let Peter yearn, let him make more of an effort in his relationships, let him be more conflicted about putting his hero obligations above the people he loves.And, more of a personal opinion, work on Peter’s personality. Like I mentioned, women don’t tend to care about the “every-man” guy meant for boys to relate to who don’t feel like real characters of their own. Sure he can be relatable, but let him have his own personality too. The ladies loved Spider-verse Miguel, and to a lesser extent I still saw some thirsting for Noir too. Spider-Man can appeal to women, he just needs something more unique about him.Or just draw him sexier, Rivals Peter gets some thirst too just for his face.
>>152686412>women or Peter Both.>alienating male audiencesI don't deny this would happen to an extent. But 80's/90's Spider-Man had a lot pages of Peter's ass looking especially big. No homo. >annoying female fansIf even more supermodel-tier characters were introduced on top of what we already have, yes I could see that happening. That's why I was thinking of more fujo/Deb Whitman types, Deb making a return, more Bugle Staff members, or women who are just normal workers in different environments/contexts/backgrounds kinda like all the civilians that JMS had when Peter was a teacher, like Julie. But MJ, Felicia, and some of the other women will stay hot. I think women can concede or even prefer that.>generic self-insertNo way. Peter's personality is vital. I agree.>yearning...relationship obligationsI agree. But it has to be balanced with action/comedy. And that luckily is a good source of comedy, kinda like when May called Peter in the middle of a fight in that Spec episode with Electro. But I just think more cheesecake shots would just benefit the art/visual interest more and women wouldn't mind ab/pec shots or ass shots. I mean I don't full-on crotch and women don't like porn as much so that's why you're focusing on the relationship aspects, so I understand. Maybe more relationship drama between supportint characters would be more fun. Like Felicia having to decide between Flash and someone else. >unique about Spider-ManAh so there's the rub. Peter I think needs to be more adversarial with women sometimes. Not like incel, but just a bit less patient and more cynical. Kinda like Ditko but to a lesser extent. Peter also could use more personality in perhaps taking up more interests besides science like comedy and other things like art that MJ introduces him to look closer at. And maybe that can further provide even more personality we haven't seen before. But Peter does have one. Not the most unique in the world, but I think good enough to build from.

>>152686531Whoops forgot my reply. I was just gonna say to forgive my typos. Running on empty here. Ok bye bye. Rare Raimi/Bagley art comin' thru.
>>152684223I liked Conway's run. After Romita's run, some of Spiderman's stories were ridiculous. Things that shouldn't happen in Spiderman comics. Like issues 103 and 104. But Conway's run feels more classic. Probably the weirdest thing was his trip to France, but it wasn't handled in a retarded way>>152685421>of that one famous Batman imageWhich one?
