Neat referrence on the trunks but they should've made him nude for real. Could've had him facing his back towards the camera. That way his hammer is obscured.
>>154481981That's a pretty crap pin-up of Storm
>>154481970>>154481998They gay dudes are trying too hard or the straight ones aren't
>>154481948That was subpar. The only even remotely sexy part is the cover. And even that is mid.
Bobby...If only you were into bears.
Anthony is really pushing editorials buttons with his SpideyTorch agenda for this one.
Oh no...
>>154482127Venom fans also hated this one.
Pete, where's your undies?
I thought Pride month just ended?
>>154482189>shirt says jackpotcan they just let this 60 year old joke go?
>Neither of the muscle babes really showing off>All this mid artMarvel really doesn't give a shit, do they
There you have it. Surfs up to your LCS, if you enjoyed it.
>>154482289Does any entertainment company care these days, if we're being honest?
>>154482181>>154482189Johnny just come out already!
>>154482028Marvel seem to still think their target audience is female or gay, but they disguise it behind a cover meant to appeal to the traditional straight male audience. The only effort in the rest of this book went into drawing the dudes. They make you think they're bringing back that thing from the 90s you liked but it's a total subversion.
>>154481929I don't get it. Why are Namor and Triton acting like they don't like each other here?
>>154482289>>154482326It's not that they're not trying to make the art sexy, they're actively avoiding it, for the women at least. I don't get why they even print this if it goes directly against their political stance, which they think a comics company should have.
>>154482289They somehow can pull out infinite cheesecakes artist when it is time to give Black cat 12 variant covers but they all disappear for the year swimsuit comic.
>>154482580There were a couple good covers. I like the Artgerm one. Misleading though because the interior art isn't good and it's mostly pinups of dudes.
>>154482805There was also a Magik store exclusive cover
>>154482449>Why are Namor and Triton acting like they don't like each other here?You don't expect Marvel writers to actually be familiar with Marvel characters do you?
Good lord this was horrible
>>154482449They clearly do, whats odd is that seemed like they dislike each other. Weird emphasis and Triton not calling Namor by his first name.
>>154482830It's one thing to not know that two characters might have had positive interactions in the past, it's another to just make them not like each other for no reason out of nowhere.Then again these shitty swimsuit specials have had a bunch of retarded character moments, like Titania and Absorbing Man spontaneously acting like crooks to get beat up even though they've been legit for several years now.
>>154482826How much more disappointing would the issue have been if you had paid $35 for this cover
>>154482861It's amazing when you think these problems could be entirely avoided by just doing a pin-up book with no stories at all like they did back in the 90s.
>>154482910For that much money Magik would need to climb out of the cover and personally make it up to you for what a disappointment this comic was.
>>154481891Why is Namor wearing pants
>>154483015I think the Artgerm virgin variant might be more expensive because it's an incentive. Let's see... Yes, it's $149.99, plus tip. Oh, and here's the solicitation >The issue promises to be "sexier than ever," responding to fan demand for more traditional swimsuit special content
terrible
>>154482029what's with Beast in this short?
>>154483171>it's $149.99Who would even spend that much on a variant cover?>The issue promises to be "sexier than ever," responding to fan demand for more traditional swimsuit special contentAre Marvel going to get sued for these blatant lies?
>>154483218He's blue
>>154482263>OhtaniOh yeah, Ziggler wrote this.
That was liquid ass, and the girls weren't even hot at the very least
>>154481864Bump
>>154483380Honestly all of the money went into the pin ups of the men and all of the worst artists were put on the pin ups of the women. They’re literally trying to lost sales
>>154482289I thought it was me. The art looks really weak
>Why is AI kicking our ass?
>>154482284Damn, Amanda Conner fell off hard.
>>154483736Less words more actions Brevoort.
God that was bad.>>154482227They don't have anything else. MJ hasn't been in character for about a third of her existence now.She's doing that tired, awful and overdone 'tut' 'tut' routine they always prescribe the women in any story, basically a wet blanket mother. When character prior 2008 she would be the active party girl actively pouring gasoline on any activity for the thrill.MJ is fun. FUN. Her opening introduction was about how FUN she is. When MJ is at the beach she should be the most unhinged with Peter playing the straight man she is trying to unwind, especially if he's being written as discomforted by recent events.As for the rest, this anon nailed it >>154482430
>>154481905Why does she-hulk always have to be gon th3se days?
>>154482127Wouldn't be the first time nor will it be the last.
>>154483255
>>154481966Everything about this gay as comic has been twinkified
>Bump if you're reading.
>>154481958yes
>>154482181What the fuck is this?
>>154485529As close to a confession Johnny will ever give to Peter.
Last years was better. I don't know why they felt the need to dedicate so many pages to unnecessary plots and execute it so poorly. The Shantae comic has a short plot, but it starts and ends with the girls being hot. BTW, Sky, Twitch and Vinegar are S-Tier waifus.
This comic is extremely gay. How many issues did this garbage actually sell?
>>154484149What comic is picrel from?
>>154486115Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices. It was a webcomic hosted on the Marvel Unlimited app.
>>154481864>>154481852OH MY GODeven jrjr drew MJ like the hot super model bimbo she issomehow everyone forgot at marvel
They truly do hate boys don't they? Normal straight boys, they don't want a single cent from them.Meanwhile i live in Italy and i can just drive 30 minutes to the beach and see hundreds of young hot women dressed 10 times more scantly than this garbage.
>>154486346They think straight males are toxic and evil and are trying to program them in to becoming bisexual fags. Yes really. That is who these weirdos are making these comics. Then they gaslight you when you call out their clear agenda. It's all so tiresome.
>>154482213when was the last time he was any of this?
>>154486346>Italy>30 minutes to the beach and see hundreds of young hot women dressed 10 times more scantly than this garbage.I thought Italy was full of gays?
>>154486417No this is normalfag central, people want to look good and like being seen looking good, they like sexy women and they like hitting on sexy women. Women like getting hit on and they like looking sexy.You now, like normal people.Never met a gay man in my entire life.
>>154486454>Never met a gay man in my entire life.Sure you haven't.
>>154486455Cope as much as you want, you can go years without interacting with a gay man outside of MilanYour mind truly is formed out of modern comics and cartoons
>>154486481If that's what you want to tell yourself.
>>154482805I'll never forgive Marvel Rivals for making people think Luna Snow is a worthwhile character that has ANY relevance.
Of course most of it is fucking men. Here I was believing there was still hope for the Big 2.
Ummmm where's Jeff the Landshark?
>>154486631Right here >>154482313
>>154486454>Never met a gay man in my entire life.same, i think here in Italy gays are only on tv and twitter or something, even when i went to uni in turin (big city) i never encountered a gay man
>>154486584I'm all for equal-opportunity eye candy, but this went way overboard in doing really shitty pin-ups of the female characters, both by shit artists and covering up skin, and really going overboard on the cheesecake gay appeal of the dudes. The only one I like in a fun/inside joke way is the Thor one. A good bikini pin-up of Storm, Jessica Drew or She Hulk by a legend like Art Adams, Terry Dodson or Frank Cho would've gone far to make this issue more appealing.
>>154481981One of Marvel's sexiest women, and they give her to a shitty dyke artist who can't even draw hands.
marvel really doesn't give a shit about a non-gay male audience anymore.
>>154486948Even for gays this is underwhelming. The only standout pinup would have to be Captain America's.
>>154481948OK this is the just the preview, right?
>>154486948Gays, famously loving this boring lame ass sterile pinup shit.No, this is for fat women and fujos (they don't buy comics)
>>154486989...
>>154487018They like pinups too? But yeah this collection is rather dull.
>>154487018I would like to think homosexual men have better taste than this slop.
>>154482158"Venom fans" (Venom movie fans really) hate everything before Cates run. They think Eddie Brock is a blameless puppy who was never an asshole
>whine about everyone being too prude in comics >Marvel starts doing swimsuit specials again>NYYYAAAAHHHH THIS IS SHIT I DON’T HAVE A BONER FROM THE GIRLS!!At one point will you admit you’re full of shit and just want to comics to help you jack off?
>>154487392I don't get your point, you want swimsuit specials that fails to be sexy?
>>154487392>Marvel does swim suit specials again>the art is shit to mid at best>there's more of a focus on the men instead of the women>I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WHY DON'T THEY LIKE IT!? WE SPENT 2 MILLION DOLLARS ON THIS!!
>>154487407They don’t fail to be sexy. You just want softcore porn
>>154486881The less clothes she wears the hotter she gets.
>>154482313That's amazing. They literally could not have put her in more clothing. Christ, all DC has to do to beat them is just not do this shit and they still are incapable of that. What a dead fucking medium and good riddance.

>>154481852question! why don't silk and peter's spider-mating powers trigger anymore?
>>154488271>implying anyone remembers this part of Silk's powersetalso wasn't this Peter-specific thing anyway
>>154488271The guy who handled her first solo series immediately wrote it out and Slott himself has agreed it was cringe and apologized for it.

>>154491610I notice no guys are on any of the variant covers. can't get someone to fork over an obsene amount of money for a guy cover>
>>154491691oh my mistake. The one in the upper right corner shoved a guy in there with the girl.
>>154491610This is kind of what I'd expect for the interior pinups for a swimsuit issue. I don't hate what we ended up getting like the other anons but it was underwhelming.
>>154491637>that FeliciaPeter is one lucky mofo
>>154483910Again in English.
>>154481852At what point did Marvel give up maintaining continuity?
>>154490771Has Slott apologized for anything else or was that the only dead to rights thing he couldn't pooh-pooh away?The MJ/Otto rape thing and memory masturbation put me right the fuck off reading Superior since I had been told it never gets addressed so it's just for shock value. I'm not giving a cheap narrative like that any time.
>>154491610Those Mary Jane and Black Cat Campbell variants, top row #1 and #4, are nice. It took a little searching to find, apparently you have to buy blind bags that cost $45 each from his webstore and hope you get the one you want...
>>154494332Knowing the interior is slop makes this seem even worse.
>>154494332>>154494402If you remove variants and blind bags, how much are modern marvel comics actually selling?Are these paypigs being born in the new generations or being aged out?
>>154491637This is basically false advertising that should be criminal considering the contents of the actual interior pages inside
Man this shit sucks. Feels like they didn't even try at all. I didn't count, but it feels like less interior pinups than usual. They didn't even try to tie it into the story from last year's swimsuit and winter break special. Perhaps I'm the fool for thinking that Marvel could make anything worthwhile these days, but it truly feels like some rug pull shit when they go all out with sexy pinup covers and can't be assed to put anything worthwhile between the pages.
>>154494440Collectors seems to be a mix of boomers, gen-x, and maybe older millennials. There's some overlap, but I think different things also appeal to them. There are new collectors coming onto the scene. Some of those 90s speculation bubble comics are actually becoming valuable, which I thought would never happen. I'm sure you could flip it to a new collector that missed out in a couple years. To get a big max profit flip right now you would have to pull a highly sought after one from the blind bag. It would have to be in perfect condition. You would then want to get it slabbed and pray they give you a 9.8. It's pretty much high risk gambling at $45 a pop.
>>154494440>how much are modern marvel comics actually selling?The new weekly comic store releases, probably not very well. They're losing to DC bad right now.
>>154494646This just seems ridiculous, we have an industry that is kept afloat by the literal cover of the book not the book itself.They should just dispose of the narrative inside and start selling limited edition pin-ups and posters, cut out the writing middleman.
>>154494732I’d warn against giving them ideas, but I think I’d prefer pure pin-ups to an actual story at this point since it’s clear they can’t write those anymore.
>>154494827The characters would be better served with images that speak to their actual characterization and sparks the imagination of the viewer, fan discourse and works can produce the actual stories.This is basically how I see things going once Spider-Man hits public domain, then ain't nobody going to care about the current IP owners current direction or take on the character is.
>>154493947Late 90s and early 2000s
>>154494323Slott will only apologize for something if it offends women. None of them cared about that.
>>154482181>You have no idea what real love feels likeCome on... Surely Eddie or Flash loved the symbiote at some point.
>>154495019Women weren't upset about the date, kiss and Otto jacking off to the memories of Peter and MJ being intimate?
>>154483767I think it's kinda cute. I mean this She-Hulk still looks better than any other artist's rendition from this special.
>>154491610Is that Scarlet Widow stepping on She-Hulk? Kinky
This shit is fucking gay.
>>154495056They don't read Spider-Man and don't particularly care. But finding out about Silk's deal because of the announcement of Silk: Spider Society gave them the ick.
>>154495087How is it kinky?
>>154495313So Slott wins by slipping under the radar.Makes sense, it also means Superior will never be adapted at least without extremely heavy reworks to make everyone not holding the idiot balls for the plot to work.
how do we feel about rivals cap's swimsuit costume
>>154495587I like it though I wish we got the one featured in this comic. Still I am thankful they didn't downsize his backside.
>>154495838gyatt dam that is a nice ass
>>154495901They even gave it some ever so slight jiggle physics, his schlong too.
>>154495374Yeah they already did Superior and a lot of other Slott stuff in the 2017 Spider-Man cartoon that hardly anyone watched or cared about.
>>154496182MJ wasn't even in that in any meaningful way right? So already the worst parts are out and you just focus on the mad scientist in Peters body premise without the weird and gross sex stuff that Slott couldn't tone the fuck down.
>>154495049definitely
>>154493237Felicia's gay, anon. Peter isn't lucky at all.
>>154494732There are modern comics, especially Marvel, that are only valuable because of their cover. The real gamble is the ratio incentives. Those are going to either be worth a lot more or a lot less than you paid. But it can be true for older comics also though. Old Batman comics are valuable just because they have a Joker cover, for example. I think it is rarer they become high value because it got turned into a netflix show, etc. or became really popular. >start selling limited edition pin-ups and postersI guess there's not much of a market for that. Comic collectors don't collect those. Unless it's original art or a high quality reprint of the original art
>>154497534Bisexual
>>154496218MJ ends up with Peter and Otto is dead in the cartoon.
>>154498109Which cartoon? I didn't think she played a major role in the 2017 one.
>>154498153
>>154491645Sues built like a old lady with 90s era surgery
>>154482222Why does everything have to be a therapy session in comics now?
>>154498504because that's all the fuckers know now is therapy buzzwords
>>154482313>see guys the last one is a completely covered girlHAHAHAHAHAHAHA faggots GOOD JOKEMarvel is truly the complete and total drizzling shits
bump
>>154497987Sure thing, totally why she's ducked Peter for a full year of comics now and is lezzing out in every issue written by the most lesbian-centric writer in comics besides maybe Tini Howard.
>>154499070Not my fault you can't fathom a woman being into the same and opposite sex.
>>154482222>doc SasquatchI was like 80% they worked out a body swap by now.
>>154499092Not my fault Marvel (and DC for what it's worth) can't write "bisexual" characters without making them hard gay and reminding us every time they're on panel how gay they are.
>>154495981good lord
>>154496182the 2017 cartoon had Slott as a writer so ofcourse it did. It also sucked more than Ultimate as a cartoon, which is a hilarious feat to achieve. It only started getting okay around the end because they got better writers
>>154481929Jen stop staring at Ben's cock!
>>154495587>>154495838>>154495981Is this real? Because I'm fine with this if they go as for for the women.>>154499298I miss the time when lesbian sex in media was a fanservice treat and not a political statement.
