Here here! Well said! Room enough for everyone! Let's stop treating comic books like avatars for our politics. Let's treat them more like... comic books. Y'know, something we can all enjoy and come...
Just replace "peace" with "Scarlet Spider" ...

It just seems to have nothing to do with ... anything. Like, if you told me this was Marvel Age/Adventures I would have said "yea, that makes sense." Is this just the second attempt at the failed...
Questions about the degeneration of our current clones (Ben and Kaine)....
1. Refresh my memory about the ending of Clone Conspiracy and how it relates to Ben's condition. I know he had almost...
Possibly stupid question: does this book even take place in the 616 universe? Why is everything, including Peter's personality, seem so unusual? Is it set in the past or something?
Forgive me if...
I liked it. I'm excited to see Ben have a story that is more about him being a hero and doing things as opposed to JUST a story about "who am I? am I good or bad? blah blah"
I didn't really like...

*fist bump*
Pretty much. And I'm starting to figure out how to be happy with that.
blerg. That makes me very sad. Books tend to get cancelled once they dip below 20k, right? =( Dang it! blerg! Super blerg!
It looks like they already have up to issue 10 in the works. But as...
I like what PAD had to say. Nothing earth-shattering of course, but good stuff. Buy Scarlet Spider! Keep non-terrible Marvel Comics alive! =)
At this point, I have such disgust for most of modern Marvel Comics, and such love for classic Ben/Scarlet Spider, that I am rooting SO HARD for this book!!! It's like my only hope. I've come to...
People see things differently. Period. End of thread. One person's attack is another person's harmless tweet. One person's harmless picture is another person's reminder of ideological agendas. I...
Except that that wasn't the source of the controversy at all. =)
1. Female Marvel employees post selfie of themselves with milkshakes.
2. Literally 2 or 3 random people on Twitter mildly insulted...
Personally, as a huge Ben fan, I am unsatisfied with the Ben27 we have now. However, I'm so DESPERATE for new Scarlet Spider that I will gladly gobble up these table scraps in the hopes that...
@Mister Mets
If the whole argument is that these images are harmful for women (and boys) to see, then them taking place in real life would be exponentially more "damaging" than on a comic page or...
1. I think I made it pretty clear that it was not isolated to just comics and games.
2. #GG and #MMM are perfect examples of my point. There would never be the momentum behind them if they didn't...
Yea, as others have said, it's absolutely been a topic in other media. But, it's been a bigger push in comics, and recently in gaming, because they *are* more fringe and thus trying to impose...
Who should be Scarlet Spider going forward?
I think the creator of that cartoon needs to Google "narrow-minded." Cuz they obviously are not aware of the broad range of what appeals to men/women or what men/women wish they looked like.
Cyclops is one of the most important and interesting characters in Marvel comics. Just because he wasn't angsty cool, and thus popular, like Wolverine doesn't lessen that. It just means that he...
You just wanted the happy, self-righteous finger pointing, Buzzfeed kind of sexism, right? ;-)
@Pav
When characters like Pei make "mistakes" it's usually because they are depicted as being so superior to the common folk around them that it becomes a sort of fish-out-of-water story. That's...
IMHO, Iron Fists #2 was garbage. It was just another entry in a long line of Marvel books where the straight, white, male hero is almost totally incompetent and female, minority is almost perfect. ...
Agree to disagree. Back in the day, the morals were more humanistic in nature. Yes, you can find the occasional example of overt and partisan political messages, but they were relatively few and...
But without poorly hidden depictions of current politics, what would modern Marvel fill their books with???
Also, will the two sides of the immigration debate ever clarify the difference between...
