Beyond Food, huh? I wonder if this mini-series is specifically for tying up some loose ends from Beyond itself?

Maybe. If so . . .

I mean, if Wells is winding down...his run technically did start with Beyond.

DC Reddit's character of the month is... Spider-Man! Apparently the theme for the vote was crossovers. So who remembers when he teamed up with Superman? That's actually happened three times - twice in one-shots in the 70s then again in Marvel vs DC/DC vs Marvel in the 90s.

Oh, yeah. Those were fun. And of course, the somewhat more famous team-ups with Batman in the 90s, the first having them take on a team-up of Carnage and the Joker, which fell apart because Joker was disgusted by Carnage's lack of "artistry" and Carnage felt like Joker was a big letdown, then the second having them take on Kingpin and Ra's al Ghul, which also fell apart when Kingpin learned Ra's had deliberately poisoned his wife to make him a more willing ally to his schemes.

I feel like Ben tries to troll Peter with stuff like this but all it got was another date for him with Michele.



Michele's interesting. Personally I'm starting to like Shay however, her banter and fiery personality in the FCBD issue was very early MJish, or maybe I'm just being nostalgic. Not that I expect them to do anything consistent or long lasting with either(though I'd personally like to see that with Shay being that MJ's aunt for some reason likes her and thinks her and Peter will hit it off. Maybe Shay reminds her of a younger MJ or something and thats why I get the vibes?).

Either way, Peter's "luck" never ceases to amaze.

Is this why that happened? They never really explained it.

Shay was at least written in a way where I can see why Peter would like her compared to Michelle even if nobody should really be coming to Wells ASM for good romance.

The FCBD issue pretty strongly implies spoilers:

the Living Brain is responsible for both the Michelle 2.0 and the Shay dates. The Living Brain apparently spoofed Aunt Anna, which makes sense as Aunt Anna, when written in character, is ride or die MJ and Peter just like Aunt May. And the Living Brain also negged Michelle 2.0 because, reasons, like it needed to go to all the rigamarole to get Peter to restaurants where it can pass on messages (there was also a message for Peter in the first Shay date, but he had already run out to help Betty so he missed it. And Shay apparently decided she didn’t need to take it and pass it on, nice of you, Shay) instead of, y’know, the Living Brain just telling Peter directly :shrug

end of spoilers

So, no. It wasn’t Ben.

Amazing Spider-Man 92.BEY had Morbius and the Lizard teaming up at the very end, and the Daughters of the Dragon were in that story, too, so no doubt that’s part of it.

That makes so much sense, even though I have my doubts that Wells and Lowe will reveal any of that during the upcoming arc - they are the masters at f**king up and simply writing characters OOC for the purposes of getting their plot goala in the stories done. Also they've been leaving crumbs of plot points only later to be dropped and left forgotten (like in issues #7 and #9). Guess we'll see.
Here's the thing I don't understand - Michelle said that Peter *called* her, not *texted*. So unless LB has/developed the ability to produce a voice through the phone and mimics Peter voice, I dunno ...

AI in our world is more than capable of spoofing voices. And voice over IP is very much a thing

In the Living Brain’s case, it’s capable of creating an entire physical avatar. So as long as it has access to the internet, spoofing voices should be child’s play for it.

I agree it may make too much sense for this run, but the entire plan of “target Peter so he will take a date to these specific restaurants and stay for dinner, even though in the most recent case I said it was a black tie restaurant but it’s obviously a kids’ restaurant so anyone rational would expect them to walk out and leave, so I can then have proxies deliver messages instead of just, y’know, texting or calling him directly” is wholly the type of nonsense I do expect from this run.

If that's the case all that's left would be for The Living Brain to have their own ViewTube Prank channel.

Indeed, because it never really is consistent. Would be nice, but I don't expect it. Felicia and Peter was given the most effort and even then it was miniscule. It would shock me if we even got to a Shay and Peter kiss. However I do like Shay as a better written character than Michele. Who imo should have just been the Michele who was also a lawyer from before, it'd make sense for her if she ever came back to be Tombstone's lawyer and it'd be a way to bring the character back in a way that made sense. But ah well, we got the Wish.com version.

And we were already predisposed to disliking that version of Michelle .

Peter can't even beat the Lizard in his own book. Right when he's about to get serious the fight gets ended by a non-Spidey character .

This is not the first time Colleen Wing has ended up in handcuffs during an event but this time she got herself out of them. Also does anyone smell a ship between her and Morbius? I feel like she's been getting really chummy with him ever since Beyond.

Spider-Man should be able to win against Lizard. He has fought him dozens of times already. I'm glad to see Colleen, but this just feels wrong right down to the production itself. Be honest now, show of hands who thought it was the Lizard who said "Misty?" in panel 2?

[Majesty]

Peter was holding back vs Lizard and more or less messing around. He was never worried at any point of the fight which is why he was all "If you're done. I've got people to save, okay?"

99.9% of the villains Spider-Man faces only make it to a second panel because Peter's holding back.

Just coming off of his weak performance across this entire era, it's sometimes harder to give it the benefit of the doubt.
