Gail Simone: Spider-Man is puberty.

[Mister Mets]

Gail Simone thinks Spider-Man is a metaphor. It's a funny argument.

Somehow this came to my mind

[Shocker]

I think she might be projecting a bit, some of those are a bit of stretch.

Also: That panel is classic

[Kevinroc]

I've basically argued this point on these forums when I say that Spidey is a "coming of age story." Gail is just better at making that point and having fun about the whole thing.

[Den]

I can't wait till she brings up the unexpected tingles of Spider-Sense

[Scott Taylor]

Sure, I can see that. Learning how to deal with power and responsibility is pretty much the process of growing up.

LMAO! No matter how many times I see that it always makes me laugh.

Speaks volumes about Peter's character that he'd rather be considered a pervert, in the eyes of his mother-figure, than a hero.

Wow. The quality of art from the 70s today to today is just astonishing. Placed side by side like this, its amazing how much better it was 50 years ago.

I agree. I know it's not the artists though. I guarantee if they wanted to, they could draw very realistic characters. They're being directed to draw that way by the publishers to give the comics that "Heavy Metal" feel. I do however like the new method of coloring.

After looking at these two panels Gail Simone might have a very sticky point!! (pun intended) LOL

Lol I loved that scene.

[Spider-Mike]

Lol I loved that scene.

I just like the way Peter reacts to the this situation the same way I would. Although mine would be sarcasm and his is genuine fear.

[Scott Taylor]

Wait...does that mean Aunt May is into porn? After all, she brought it up.

[John Ossie]

Lol not necessarily it just means that Aunt May is aware that some (most?) boys like that stuff.

[RD!]

Funny as a joke, but lame if she was being serious
