Spidergeddon!

[Seren]

I don't have any skin in the game. I'm off to Iron Man and FF.

I just want to say, I love this. 4 pages of hand-wringing, doomsaying, predictions of readers dropping the books, pleas for calmer heads, and wild-wild-wild guesses...

...off of 4 syllables.

You guys are awesome.

Just goes to show you how much people care about their Spiders.

It's a fan base and the internet. Isn't this kinda business as usual?

It's good to care, it's good to be curious, but too many fans immediately jump to the most negative conclusions over things they barely know anything about.

You'd think people would have learned to take a wait and see attitude by now. It doesn't say anything good about fandom that so many haven't.

Considering how Spider events tend to go this seems par the course. I say we have a deadpool for who kicks the bucket.

Cause I mean I'm just saying with Spider-events and hyped story arcs, we have Spiders killed every couple of years, the concern for favorites doesn't come from nowhere;

2009-2010 Grim Hunt: Kaine died
2012 Dying Wish: Peter died
2013-2014 Superior Spider-man: Otto dies at the end of the story
2014-2015 Spiderverse: Does anybody have a full kill count?
2016-2017 Clone Conspiracy: Kept killing Ben Reilly 27 times over turning him into a villain and various resurrected characters

I'm just saying the franchise has a body count.

Hey Dan, did you have a bet to see who could kill Spider-man the most :P (I'd actually love it if that's how you got Iron man).

The more I think about it, the more I think this might be a Donny Cates Venom thing.

I guess we'll find out soon enough, though.

Well, I'm sure Marvel wants to keep cranking out those Venom events .

Cates on Venom is fantastic. Issue no. 1 got me hooked and I’m not really a venom fan.

I just love to speculate, even if I'm way off, I find it fun to predict what could happen even with the bear minimum of information.

I'm also just excited and optimistic either way ^^;;

Hell yeah they do with the numbers they pull in!

Anything Cates is behind when it comes to Venom, I'm all for it!

[Alan2099]

I just hope that the story involves Peter Parker teaming up with Bruce Willis to stop a giant spider from colliding with the planet.

That would actually be the one Spider-Man team-up I might wholeheartedly support .

This is true.

[The Negative Zone]

Its hard to get hyped for text font. I kind of want and not want a spider-verse sequel.

Except for the minor Spiderverse redshirts, all those characters are alive. Does the body count count when the body becomes a somebody again?

-Pav, who wonders what books'll be affected...

You'd think people would have learned to take a wait and see attitude by now. It doesn't say anything good about fandom that so many haven't.

I'm starting to think that organized fandom is broken; I've seen enough unpleasantness in a variety of different fandoms that, essentially boil down to entitlement on the part of the consumers and an unwillingness to live and let live (both in differences of opinion and in rejecting the idea that it's okay if there are comics, movies, TV shows, etc. that are not made exclusively for them).

While I certainly wouldn't begrudge people for not liking something, hating on something like this event where all we know is a name is a whole new level of inanity. Personally, I'm not interested, due to my distaste for post-OMD Spider-Man, but there's nothing here to built a "this will be awful" case on.

[blackspidey2099]

Frankly, I think it's about time Marvel had a big event that centered around Spider-Man, since Spider-Man is repeatedly touted as Marvel's greatest hero and is essentially the face of the Marvel Universe. That being said, I just hope Spidergeddon isn't another Grim Hunt-style culling of the Spider-population.

Agreed. DC recently had a whole event centered on how awesome Batman is, so I have no idea why Marvel always prefers disrespecting Spider-Man...
