Considering the Sony-helmed animated and videogame works did more to develop Miles's character and his place in the Spider-Man mythos overall than the original (616-set) comics have, I wouldn't be surprised if Ziglar looked to that for inspiration. That said, speaking of the game, did anyone (else) know that Roxxon's Nuform in the older comics was an attempt to recreate vibranium, well before reverbium in the "Big Time" run of ASM (later brought back as a power-up for Klaw in Ta-Nehisi Coates's Black Panther run) was a thing?

Agreed, Spiderverse was flawless, the game was pretty cool, but had its stumbles narratively, yet STILL i felt like the character work and the vision the game had for miles as a character was more fleshed-out and just str8 up more believeable than what Saladin proposed, but ive rambled enough about that this year lmao
When was that first Nuform story published? got me curious.
"He's pure power and doesn't even know it. He's the best of us."-Matt Murdock
"I need a reason to take the mask off."-Peter Parker
"My heart half-breaks at how easy it is to lie to him. It breaks all the way when he believes me without question." Felicia Hardy
When you have a character like Peter-who based on WHO he is will get x number of issues ordered by comic book stores.
So you can have folks just not like a run or runs but what store is going to decrease orders enough for anyone to really notice?
Same issue with Batman, Nightwing, WW, Flash, X-Men and Logan.
Because of WHO they are you rarely hear a store owner complain about the piles of unsold books they all leave behind like they do when Ms Marvel or ANY POC leave 1-2 unsold.
Folks are TIRED of woe is me loser Peter Parker just like they are with forever loser T'Challa in comics.
Yet the comic side does NOT get the hint because a Peter Parker lead book will NEVER have issues getting orders or shelf space.
So it's harder to fix Peter in comics when Marvel chooses to ignore the unsold books and only care about how many a store ordered.
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #25, it turns out.
Pretty much this, sadly. And yeah, Peter and T'Challa being more-or-less in the same boat with regard to their comic depictions is funny in a sad kind of way, as T'Challa's guest-starring spot early in The Other: Evolve or Die storyline when Peter was seemingly dying from an unknown disease had him offer to let Peter ingest the Heart-Shaped Herb in the hopes that it'd save his life, out of genuine respect for someone he saw as having the heart of a king (paraphrasing). Man . . . how things have changed.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Nervous and excited for the start of the new run tomorrow. Hope Ziglar gives us something good.
