Thank you for making me laugh. I needed that after the annoyance that coming home from work by public transit was today. Also, Marvel better watch its back if Spider-Girl/Mayday, Benjy, and/or their parents die in this. Fans don't take too kindly to their favorite characters being gruesomely murdered, especially when it dovetails all too closely with certain admitted or alluded agendas held by key figures in the creative/editorial hierarchy.

Do the Parkers have a dog? Ms. Lion II? Though, really, I'd be more distraught if their dog died.

I do look forward to readers complaining no matter who dies.

he killed spiderman unlimited....

I loved that show

**resipsaloquitur** · 10-09-2014, 04:09 PM

You know whose fault this is? Wolverine's. And now he's dead and nobody can do anything about it.

**Hypestyle** · 10-09-2014, 04:39 PM

curious. So they were just shown deceased? Not the actual fight? That's what annoys me, frankly. I want to see actual portrayals.

Where is the ORIGINAL 1960s animated Spider-Man?

Meme-ing.

(This was probably the only meme I could post without getting banned. But run a Google Images search on "Spider-Man meme" and be prepared to laugh your head off.)

Same probably applies to the Amazing Friends.

Well, it is a wiki. Marvel hasn't officially stated Ultimate Monica Chang is dead yet they listed her as dead because one of the moderators, with zero proof, "felt" that she she "could" be dead because her face was burned even though we've had characters survive worse. So I'm not surprised that they're ignoring what Dan Slott did and are trying to make it out as a different universe because they don't "feel" that it's the same universe and they "interpreted" it as a different alternate version.

Good luck trying to get them to pull an official source that contradict's Dan Slott said and what was in the issue.

If Slott kills off Mayday Paker (MC2 Spider-Girl) he better also kill off 616 Spider-Girl (Anya). If we can't have the original Spider-Girl to be a alive and well at the end of Spider-Verse then there should be no Spider-Girls at the end of Spider-Verse.

I would prefer Mayday being the only surviving Spider-Girl, but I rather them all be dead than to have a Spider-Girl survive that isn't Mayday Parker who is the one, the only, and the original Spider-Girl.

I don't believe Dan created Anya and that's extremely spiteful to want Anya, and all Spider-Girl's, dead because she/they happens to also be Spider-Girl and Anya has a possible future in Avenger books. Besides, Anya didn't even start as Spider-Girl anyway.

Ever watch the Star Trek shows in the 90s? Ever compare the Clone Wars cartoons to what had already been established in the comics and novels? They contradict all the time to suit the needs of the storytellers at the time. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, it's just what it is. More than likely, Slott doesn't care about fan wishes or what Earth an unofficial Wiki says the AF were on. If he intended to kill them, they're dead. If another writer wants them back, they will be.

I would, however, point you back to my post on page two where I discuss how the Earths get their numbers. A lot of it is fan driven and Marvel simply nods its head. If Slott wants to renumber AF world from 8107 to 1983, that probably controls. If you want to believe 8107 still exists and is happily untouched, then ignore Twitter and read what you like and how you like.

So much truth here. Marvel and Storywriters > Fan Wikis and if Dan intended for these to be the AFs than they're the AF's and they're now dead no matter what a fan says. It's simple the reality of things and fan wiki's are supposed to represent that and not their own opinions.

Besides, even if MC2 Mayday dies there's still Earth-X Mayday who may or may not die in RR's Kang Story.

I also found out years ago that unlimited continued with the comics and I don't believe the real unlimited is really dead ar this point. Plus felicia the rat lady looks alot different does she?

I think he's one of the "off-limits" Spideys, along with those from the 90s TAS and Spectacular cartoons.

Wow, that's surprising as I assumed that Marvel and Disney have the rights to the 60's and 90's Spider-man cartoon ?

Slott believes that 90s TAS and Unlimited Spidey are the same guy. (In a "spiritual" sense, they are, but purists see them as different guys.) So if Slott's take is correct, then 90s TAS Spidey also died yesterday.

Only you, Dan Slott, can prevent comicbook/cartoon character death. Only you.

Seems to be the case until Marvel or another writer, after Slott is gone from Spider-Man in the future for whatever reason, says otherwise

Oops! My bad.
