[Huntsman Spider]

Riri was supposed to accept Viv's romantic advances, but editorial vetoed.

I thought it was to setup drama with Viv and her learning the ropes of relationships.

I think there was a rumor that someone of that generation was mandated from being made LGBTQ+? At least explicitly. Maybe that was Riri.

That's interesting to know.

Comics are a group effort so of course editorial can chime in.

For better or worse. Sometimes, worse, as One More Day demonstrates.

Sam is getting a story in the Community Marvel Voices Anthology this year.



Returning for another rousing celebration of Marvel’s Latin/x characters and creators is MARVEL VOICES: COMUNIDADES! Legendary creator Fabian Nicieza takes to the stars in an action-packed Nova adventure! Superstar Edgar Delgado continues to show off his writing chops with a spine-tingling spider escapade with Miles Morales! And award-winning author Alex Segura blazes a new trail for White Tiger – and introduces a brand new character to the Marvel Mythos! And that’s only scratching the surface – not to mention the amazing lineup of new and established artists lending their voices to this astounding anthology. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out!

Interesting that the person who wrote so much Rich is now writing Sam.

But hey, a Sam story .

Also...

Nadia is in Damage Control, teaming up with Scott Lang again.

DAMAGE CONTROL #2 (OF 5)
ADAM F. GOLDBERG & HANS RODIONOFF (W)
WILL ROBSON (A) • COVER BY CARLOS PACHECO • VARIANT COVER BY SUPERLOG
FROM THE WRITERS OF TV’S THE GOLDBERGS!
After he nearly caused a Skrull attack in our last issue, the management at Damage Control has wisely chosen to try and place Gus in a less volatile position. How much harm can Gus do in the Consumer Affairs office, listening to complaints and grievances? Actually, the answer is a lot. When things get out of control, Gus has to call on Ant-Man and the Wasp to try and turn a big problem into a little one in a story we call “Honey, Pym Shrunk the Kids”!
ADAM F. GOLDBERG and HANS RODIONOFF tap the keys while the incomparable WILL ROBSON turns words into glorious art as Gus makes a horrible first impression on the Punisher, Ant-Man, the Wasp and more!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

And Kamala teams up with Dylan Brock, the new Venom.

DEADLY SYMBIOSIS!
VENOM is on the hunt…but who is hunting Venom?!
MS. MARVEL teams up with Dylan Brock, the new wicked web-slinger on the block, as a scheme to harness the symbiote rears its ugly head!
The first Venom/Ms. Marvel partnership is also the concluding movement of the super hero symphony of the summer, as we reveal the connection between WOLVERINE, MOON KNIGHT and VENOM, and KAMALA KHAN’S team-up uncovers the larger plot behind it all — you’re not going to believe who’s pulling the strings!

And for some reason Miles Morales #42 is longer than usual and being treated as a milestone...

MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN #42
SALADIN AHMED (W) • CHRISTOPHER ALLEN, CARMEN CARNERO, PACO MEDINA & MORE (A)
Cover by TAURIN CLARKE • Variant Cover by CHRISTOPHER ALLEN
Miracleman Variant Cover by BRIAN STELFREEZE
MARVEL’S VOICES COMMUNITY VARIANT COVER BY LEONARDO ROMERO
MILES MORALES’ ICONIC 42ND ISSUE!
As the number of the spider that bit him and the winning lottery number for Brooklyn Visions Academy, the number 42 means a lot in Miles Morales’ world, and SALADIN AHMED celebrates this landmark issue with an oversized spectacular alongside amazing MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN artists!
MILES MORALES has been through it lately — time for a little R&R now, right? Not when there’s good that needs doing, and when something dark and insidious rears its ugly head on the streets of NYC, SPIDER-MAN is the only hope to end it. But Miles will need help, from his friends, his family and the most unexpected allies, if he dares to even stand a chance this time!
40 PGS./Rated T …$4.99

I mean they say why in the solicit. The #42 is important to Miles' mythos.

Remember this moment from Secret Empire #9?

[Frontier]

"Hair Gel Hulk" - They went there .

[Digifiend]

Oh, turns out Miles encounters those two again today in the Moon Girl team-up. I guess they forgot how young Miles is though, because Black Ant reckons he's old enough to be Lunella's father! Also Miles apparently doesn't know her, despite her being a reserve Champion.

Weird continuity then.

Not surprised about the age thing though, people assumed Peter was older than he was when he first started out. 616 was not Ultimate.

Viv has an Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe entry in this week's Marvel's Voices Pride. It's four pages long.

[Frostbite883]

Gloria, Miles and Kamala too.
