I too have an idea about the Cindy retcon -- not to mention Spider-Boy, Spider-Gwen, and Miles Morales -- that involves a secret villain pulling the strings of the Web of Life and Death for nefarious...
Y'know, I pride myself on having story ideas for just about every character of whom I'm aware -- but I haven't considered what I'd do with Razorback!
Thinking about it, I'm wondering if maybe he...
Okay, okay: I'll do it -- no need to twist my arm!
I've got ideas for small, self-contained stories: My Roommate, the Rhino! Meet the New Masters of Vengeance!
I've got ideas for mystic,...
Bolded because that's been my stance. I understand opposing arguments -- especially from those who don't consider Chasm to be the "real" Ben, or those who don't want to support a story idea they...
I have this story idea centered on the idea that the Black Tarantula wants to "rewrite" the Web of Life and Destiny with himself as the central focus of the web -- thereby giving him immense power,...
I like the OP's idea of Geoffrey Wilder / the Pride extending their power into NYC. It would maybe allow for the Runaways to show up a bunch, which I would love. That being said, the Pride are...
Y'know, I was thinking yesterday about Chasm being so goofy and jokey. And it hit me that, maybe, it so clearly doesn't work because Ben's original stories were so serious: the existential journey he...
Joystick and Armada are towards the top of the list of characters I'd really love to see again. If it were up to me, Lady Ock would form a new team of villainesses, including Joystick and Angelface...
Oh, I get that. Actually, earlier this week I had a conversation with my 7th graders about our current read, Bird Box. We were thinking about why we care so much about characters that we know are...
On the one hand, I love how quickly the series is moving -- and I especially love all the nods to Morrison's NXM storylines. I know people have gotten tired of him in the comics, but I was audibly...
Hello, Webheads! Let's hold hands and take a stroll through this week's issue, shall we?
1. We start the issue at an abandoned factory, where a Masked Killer with a Big Knife is holding someone...
Pretty enjoyable issue, and for someone who read the -1 issue that introduced Proto-Goblin, it's fun to see DeMatteis once again utilizing forgotten characters and bringing them back -- and expertly,...
I wish the pace was a little quicker, but overall Hickman is telling an extremely intriguing, engaging story. Right now I'm most interested in when MJ and Richard will find out about Peter's new...
Couldn't agree more on both accounts. I wonder what a mash-up of Kaine's two costumes would look like. And as far as Ben goes, here's hoping this year's stories featuring him will eventually put him...
I still think a comic that combined the premise of The Initiative with the New Warriors would be really fun: a central team of young heroes who create a support system for other young heroes from...
Hello! This week's Spider-Anthology featured our favorite scarlet clone bros, Ben "Call me Chasm" Reilly and Kaine "Don't call me at all" Parker.
(For what it's worth, I've never loved that these...
I think both Shocker and Electro could use more fleshing out. Of all the major Spidey villains, these two are seemingly villains because... reasons.
-Pav, who wonders what fans would consider the...
I read a lot of her early appearances, and repurchased her whole series a couple years back, and while I didn't love the character at first, I've really warmed to the character over time and wish...
Or don't check it out. Personally, I thought it really flopped as a follow-up to an EXCELLENT single-issue story of Peter diving into the Negative Zone to save some teens; taking on the identity of...
So, despite what later stories have established, I've long been of the belief that the original intent for both Dusk and SHOC was the Negative Zone serving as the source of their powers rather than...
To be honest, I DO want to see him return to being the monstrous clone bro -- but emphasis on the "BRO." I'd love to see Kaine's clone degeneration return, but have the stories focus on how that...
"Our twin tales spotlight troubled Spider-clones Ben Reilly, now known as Chasm, and Kaine, reluctantly saddled with the Scarlet Spider moniker."
Interesting. I wonder how Kaine's reluctance will...
When Spider-Boy was wanted for the murder of Jimmy Z, he chose to take on four new identities:
Silver Midnight (Dusk + Steel)
Scarlet Stinger (Hornet + Eradicator + Scarlet Spider)
Ricochet Kid...
Yeah, I was really taken aback by that choice, and in general, I didn't like that PAD littered BR:SS with characters that really had no business being there, other than they were from past...
