Yesterday someone was trying to muscle in on Kingpin's turf, so Spider-Man and Daredevil went to investigate, they found a portal to Hell for their trouble>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/QyqpH6r1
Okay, so this is a sequel to a very old story
>>154135715>they found a portal to Hell for their troubleMan, I should've looked up Copperhead while yesterday's thread was still alive. Turns out prior to that mini, he was a one-shot villain who died in a 1975 Daredevil issue.
>>154135782One that was adapted in the 90s cartoon, though.
>>154135826Yeah I never hear of the guy eitherPut what a perfect blank slate to turn into a zombie hellraiser
Man, there are a lot of Spider-Man minis.
>>154135824I always like that Spidey's style of banter is so unique to him that anyone can ID him by it.
>Hyborian AgeHey I recognize those words!
Good Spider-banter todayBetter than yesterday's
>>154135824>>154135844Can't wait for this to be in Rivals.
>>154136067More Conan refs.
>>154136045Good outfit aside from the fishnet mask. Makes it feel like a BDSM thing.
>>154136108Is the writer just having fun or are we in for another third act twist? Who knows!
Been a minute since we saw Connors I think
>>154136269Man, this mini's embracing the 70s style. It's refreshing.
>>154136312And like the art, it's very good
>>154136396Ah, the classic Eelmobile.
>>154136127Peter why aren't you thinking about your dead wife
>>154136872>>154136906>>154136913These are some different Lizard eyes.
OhOkay
The EndThat was a good ol' fashioned Spider-romp, I enjoyed thatTomorrow we swing back over to the mainline books
>>154137487Thanks for storytiming, Magister! That was some prime classic-style Spidey.
>>154137420>the shadow of the lizard will never darken your days again
>>154137701>this sticks for almost a whole year
>>154137487The art fucks hard on this one, dudes don't just throw punches they swing for the fences, they don't jump they LEAP it's great
>>154138557I read this well before this thread and I thought Nicieza did a great job (especially given this was published during the Mackie/Byrne era). I wouldn't mind see him do more Spidey work, he's generally solid with him and he has a great handle on the character's voices.
>>154138909Nicieza is a good writer. I enjoyed his Thunderbolts and his X-Men stuff
>>154138909>>154138938He's got a good voice for Peter
>>154138909I've realized just how important the writer is for enjoyment of Spider-Man.
>>154140033Writing him isn't an easy task. You have to understand him as a character, he doesn't works as an one dimensional archetype. And the writer also has to nail his banter
>>154137385There had to be a way to write this that didn't require Pete to leave two dangerous villains completely unbound and unattended. Much less when there are windows right there, police outside, and a stretch of time long enough to make a potion and have a crisis.
>>154137701It's the tragedy of that kind of character. Unless you started out with a good run of being a non-powered supporting character, your appearances fall into two buckets: being a monster, and lead-up to being a monster again.
>>154141256Congrats to John Jameson for ditching Man-Wolf
>>154140033It's why for the last few decades as a general rule, you have better luck reading Spider-Man in any other run than his own ongoing for a proper Spidey.
>>154137420Man this definitely feels more like a flashback story if not for all the modern references and characters like Arthur Stacy. Peter thinks about bringing back the Stacy's and Uncle Ben rather then his recently passed away wife.
>>154137234And this is the last of Arthur. Jill is the only Stacy in play now.
>>154137487Thanks
>>154143336It's amazing he didn't die in that story with the Senator. That toothpaste story had a bunch of stuff like that, too: characters not dying even though they easily could've, and then they just stop appearing after that.
Love the Rude Dude.
