Yesterday Frank used Spidey as a meat shield, and Spider-Man met Morlun, who used him as a punching bag all night>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/5jGn7GvB
Oh he's using it on himselfOkay
>>154237756He needs those extra arms to stand a chance
>>154237895This is quite the moral conundrum, sure hope somebody takes it out of his hands>>154237922Oh goody
And then we never saw Morlun ever again
Dun dun dun!
>>154238053Oh boy here we go
>>154237940Wait did morlun literally never appear after this?
>>154237824I've got to say, this is the first story that's felt truly "modern".
>>154238077No no, he comes back
>>154238077Nah he comes back. He just shouldn't have
Oooooooh okayWe're doing this
>>154238128Juggernaut being there always gets me
>>154238047LockThe Door!
>>154238144He did, she used the key she has
>>154238081Look at this Really look at this. The amount of time and talent it took to make just this single page is incomprehensible to most of us. Say what you want about this story, there was a fire in the guts of the people behind it. There was passion and motivation.
>>154238077It's going to be a LONG time, but I know of 4 other stories. And yeah, unlike The Shocker or other lesser villains, he is always the same threat level For as shit as the story was, the fight in Spiderverse II was fucking good.

>>154238128Kingpin I getMagneto has already started to go soft by nowDoc Ock, is a stretch, but I can even see him. I don't know where Juggernaut is as a character right now. But Doom, that one just is wrong. At best, Doom is pissed knowing that this is going to change everything about how the world works in a way he doesn't like.
>>154238252>Magneto has already started to go soft by nowAt this point in time he's either in charge of Genosha and wanting to start a race war or larping as a Chinese man so that he can enslave New York (retcons aside)
>>154238223>Peter, as the living embodiment of the American Dream, believe me when I say we HAVE to invade Iraq because of this, there’s simply no other option
Pretty sure I have a biphasic sleep rhythm, which doesn't jive super well with The Man's 9-5 society
>>154238781To be fair, May, you were constantly in and out of the hospital over heart problems, and your doctor flat-out told Peter that a big enough shock could kill you.
>>154237843FUCKING KINOOOOO!!!!!!!!THAT'S MY SUPERHERO!!!!!!!>>154237857HERE COMES THE SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!EVERY FAG WHO HATES ON TOTEMS JMS IS GIVING YOU AN OUT RIGHT HERE WHILE REAFFIRMING THE RADIOACTIVITY ORIGIN!!!!!! IT'S DITKO'S SCIENCE MIXED WITH STRANGE'S MYSTICISM!!!!!!!ALL WHILE MAINTAINING PETER'S INDIVIDUALISM!!!!!!>>154237867>>154237895GET FUCKED MORLUN!!!!! I NEED AN EDIT OF THE KYON FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR MEME BUT WITH PETER!!!>>154237895....oh yeah. JMS does not bring back this reptilian form or whatever it is. I've always wondered about it and I'd ask him if I had the chance.>>154237954My hero...has aura....>>154238002>>154238011Double Kino....>>154238047TRIPLE KINO.....
The End!Tomorrow we return volley with a stretch of Peter Parker Spider-Man
>>154238084Can you expound on this? I'm interested.>>154238081The scale of this is quite immersive and impressive. Helps that he probably took many photographs and those are real buildings. Part of that feeling is also that so many old issues have real references so yeah there was no way among many reasons why they could not, not do this issue.>>154238128>Juggs: Damn....I was too late....>>154238214Peter looks appropriately haggard and way older here.>>154238291Well right after that >>154238287 is here. I was young during the 00's and not many muslims lived where I lived. How bad was the islamophobia? There's guys like Stern who said to nuke them while others like JMS here knew there was going to be that stuff and had to get ahead of it and quell it to a degree.>>154238505>THE STATUS QUO....HAS LE SHIFTED?!?!?Yeah and when it's substantive, Lowe, you faggot, it works like this.>>154238529Old black women do be talkin' like dat and trailing off in their conversations.>>154238640What has the world of Spider-Man come to...? People OD'ing? Is this the world outside my window?>HarryOh lol. Yeah city life.
>>154238959Thanks for storytiming, Magister!
>>154238748Kek. This page.>>154238767Man. I love when titles drop like that. This is cinema that none of those books like The Ultimates could ever manage.>>154238781>>154238796>>154238802Man...when I first read this, it makes the actress retcon go down easier after reading 400. Powerful emotions conveyed through the page.>>154238867Kek.>>154238928>>154238959Yet again, cinema.Fuck Quesada until the end of time. Holy shit. I can't believe OMD robs us of so much. Bullshit....
>>154238081>>154238081>>154238096>>154238103FUARK
>>154238350It was smart of them to only use the characters who could be seen as timeless for this page.
>>154238959Magister, that was a lot of heavy shit. I ask yet again your opinion of the events so far. Real page turning stuff and makes you feel excited again, imo.
>>154237756He's going from radioactive spider blood to straight up radiation.
>>154237756>>154239122I sure hope it doesn't make his jizz radioactive and give him the ability to give people cancer by creampie-ing them...
>>154238047Another casualty of OMD.
>>154238128;_;
>>154238829Damn, this is fucking good and overdue.
>>154238867Weeeeeeeeell he did have his wedding ring on the wrong hand for a week....
>>154238892There's no way that he was able to cover everything about her getting married to Otto in less than 3 hours.
>>154239253He probably didn't even mention Ben Reilly
>>154239253Oh, that's coming later.
>>154238497>>154238505All those years of comics we covered with Peter and MJ being married. Arguing or fucking. Peter swinging around and thinking about his wife and how he's lucky to have her. I know this break will end and then OMD happens but to see her gone and still hasn't returned yet. And right after she was gone for a while because everyone thought he was dead.
>>154239253Dunno if joke or srs but, I could see them just going over the origin itself and then May getting sidetracked by all the questions regarding his powers, his decision to try wrestling, and then all the fakeouts over the years.>So that time Otto ripped Spider-Man's mask off in front of all of us which you said was a prank was actually you for real? What about that time when....And so on.
>>154238978>Can you expound on this?Kind of hard to say. It just feels like a early 2000's story in a way that nothing else has up until now. We've had multi issue stories for a while, but this time it feels like it was made with a trade paperback in mind.
>>154238537>i'm reasonably sure i can take herIn a fight. Right?
>>154239279Honestly, this really could have been a giant recap issue and I would have been fine with it.
>>154239306Oh yeah, there's plenty of shit like that with Spider-Man I wish a truly autistic fan like Ian Flynn in his prime that I wish would be used. But then we would end up with later Flynn. We just need someone who has enough knowledge but has the chops to move past some of it to deliver effective moments and stories. That's where I thought Spencer was going if he got more say over his comics.
>>154239085>GO FOR THE ULTIMATE SPIN
>>154238905>jjj gets beaten half to death by an old woman with just her purse>ends up falling in love with her
>>154239479Nah Marla is still around.
>>154239085F
>>154237931Man why can't Morlun just be a weird ancient vampire with particular tastes
>>154240658Is that not what this was?
>>154238278>Say what you will, about the Muslims Leshner but that Bin Laden fellow really "Brought his A game" as the Americans say>For the love of God Victor have some tact>Schmitt would have laughed
>>154237983Love this page
>>154239253>>154239253Probably yadda yaddaed over the real weird shit>So me and a bunch of other Super Heroes got transported to another world...>Peter you told this story already>Three times>Well it happened again
>>154240674Touché
>>154238081I wonder how Marvel is going to retcon this and make this into a static event given that the recent Captain America comics now have Steve defrosted after 9/11
>>154239267That's the extended editon. Also this is the era of "The Clone Saga was the worst thing that has happened to the Spider-Man franchise." before OMD takes that spot.
>>154239288Hmm...yeah I can see that. I think the focus on one continuing narrative that is stretched over multiple parts that also has a narrow focus is what is causing that. Like now, you could say that is the norm but the narrowness and stretched out parts are exaggerated to the nth degree or the narrow focus is what I mean by the plot while the number of characters and pieces are huge like recent crossover events.
>>154238252>Magneto has already started to go soft by nowMagneto's last appearance before this was recovering from getting stabbed by Wolverine because he was building an army on Genosha to go to war against and wipe out the flatscans and had kidnapped and tortured Xavier as part of his plan. He was ruling Genosha after taking it over and genociding most of the human population on it. He will then from here turn NYC into a concentration camp and herd flatscans into ovens prior to the Xorn retcon. He had gone the opposite of soft and should, at the very least, be indifferent and it would just be proof to him that flatscans need to be wiped out even more because if they'll do this to their own people, imagine what they'll do to mutants.
>>154238053A very special issue of Spider-Man
>>154238047I'm shocked she didn't die of a heart attack right here.
>>154238959So #400 or #38? which one did it better?
>>154243156It's a little hard to compare them 1:1The objectives are just so differentAmazing 400 was the finale of May's character While 38 is an evolution to her status quo
>>154244411So would you say they are both good and that now the most preferred character arc/saga she should go on, should be a blend of the two? Personally I'm not sure if I like the "Aunt May" always knew excuse. Her realistic reaction here and the fact she actually didn't know makes her appear less dumb for just letting Peter suffer with the knowledge that she might not know. May would seem more proactive or motivated than that. It's just she legitimately did not know or conceive of Peter being Spider-Man.
>>154237895Everyone just forgets that Morlun eats more than spiders after this.
>>154238117Another appearance of Laser-eyes Cyclops
>>154245698It's hardly the time for him to be prancing around like he has them, though.
>>154238128Silliest fuckin page in entire comic book history.
>>154245698>>154245729Could kinetic energy if focused intense enough, still achieve the same thing?
>>154238128Goddamn, I hate comics.
>>154247958>>154245910I hate anons who fixate on some silly bullshit from 25 years ago because America had a particularly politically deranged few years because we got attacked and people vented in strange ways, like a comic book writer who didn't think about if the characters were 100% in-character and appropriate for this page. Yeah it's kind of silly. Whatever. Not as bad as Dr. Doom skinning a woman for some armor, desu.
>>154238252I only really remember Juggernaut from the Stern story (AMS 228-29 I think) and then the 'sequel' to that story during The Gauntlet but he seems like someone who wouldn't approve of 9/11. He's a selfish jerk but doesn't go out of his way to harm without profit or some other form of self-interest.I think Doc Ock is more reasonable than Magneto. Ock's character is kind of all over the place but he USUALLY is also just motivated by self interest, money, power, etc...
>>154246138I think its pierced things before, but I dont think it should do so cleanly.
>>154237693Spidey melted
