Oh yay, another Spider-Event (rolls eyes) .

Y'know, off-hand the title makes me think Spider-Island but instead of adding more Spider-People it's subtracting from it.

Kind of bummed that Slott leaving hasn't apparently curtailed the big events in Spider-Man.

Ugh, another big spider crossover event already??

[Jekyll]

Wow! That was fast........

[Spider-Chan]

:crosses fingers: new anya ongoing after this please.

[Inversed]

I'm excited! I've always considered that Spider-Man event stories always have the biggest potential out of them all, so if we can get something on the level of Spider-Island and Spider-Verse, I'm all for it!

And to be fair, we've only really had a few true Spider-Events, Spider-Island, Spider-Verse, and Clone Conspiracy, and it will have been 2 years since CC, so I was expecting this.

The big question is, do you think this will be a Spencer story, or do you think Marvel will be taking a page from all their other limited series recently and have a completely different writer do it?

[Celgress]

Of course, if the Marvel Office thins the herd a bit some fans will end up angry as everyone has their own favorite Spider Person or Persons. However, I must admit the field is overcrowded as things stand.

I hope that this event is going to happen in one of the Spider-Man books or it will be a crossover between two of the Spider-Man books. If it is going to be like Clone Conspiracy, I am not going to read it and I am going to drop any book that is tied into it.

I can get behind your enthusiasm I hope it’s good too and I agree Spider events do have the biggest potential.

There's barely any books to tie-in to it at this point. I mean, I doubt Venom will.

That just really leaves Spec and Miles' book when it gets relaunched, maybe Scarlet if it's still around.

Although Marvel seems to be moving towards "events" being limited series instead of massive title crossovers, so that might be the case here.

Well, most of the other Spiders have had their books canceled and don't really appear that much anymore, so I don't think there's a drastic need to thin the herd at this point.

Well Spiderman events are better for the character than general Marvel events. So let’s us prepare for Spidergeddon

I wouldn't even say that's true.

Most Spider-Events in recent memory have been more about other characters or Spider-People or launching spinoffs then they have been about Peter.

Comic readers really have to come to terms with the fact that modern comics are in a perpetual event cycle and stop being surprised every time another event is announced.

This is just reality, especially when it comes to flagship titles like Spider-Man, Avengers, or Batman and so on.

Once upon a time, you could frequently have issues that were about nothing much in particular and not leading anyplace special.

An issue could begin with Spidey or Batman swinging around their respective cities on patrol, see Stegron or Penquin lurking around, they'd intervene and an adventure would ensure that would wrap up by issue's end and leave no vital thread to be resolved later.

Occasionally you'd get a two or three parter or sometimes there'd be a ongoing subplot but generally speaking, comics were made for a newsstand audience and told simpler, self-contained stories.

That's not where we are now. There has to be a bigger engine driving these books and always greater hooks to sustain interest.

As for what Spidergeddon might be, I've got no guesses yet but I can say that I'm intrigued to find out.

Mainly I'm excited that Spencer is going to be getting into something big early in his run (I imagine that this is primarily a ASM thing) and I'm curious as to what kind of Spider-Event he has lined up.

Given that so many Spider-verse titles are either already cancelled or likely about to be, I'm guessing this is going to lead to an influx of new titles and we'll start to see the Spencer-era of Spidey start to really take shape.

[SpiderClops]

So Spider Armageddon?

[comicscollector]

Looking forward to know more info about this.
The events in the Spider-Man comics have been nothing less that great,especially Spider Island and Spider Verse,so of course i am looking forward to this.

Yeah, the spider line is down to the bare bones. All that's left now are ASM, Spec, RYV, Scarlet Spider, and Venom, plus a digital exclusive Spidey series that starts next month. And RYV and SS are both selling dangerously low numbers in the direct market. Miles and Gwen are both done or about to be with no news of replacement books. I'd say Spidergeddon will result in a linewide relaunch with only ASM and Venom (which may not even take part, they kept Venom out of Spider-Verse) continuing it's current volume.

I'd say Spectacular will also continue its current volume. But who knows?

Speaking of Spectacular, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Spencer and D'Zarsky bounce off each other as the two main Spidey writers. I feel like their sensibilities would make for an excellent Amazing/Spectacular crossover at some point. In fact, I'd be shocked if one wasn't already in the works.
