[matt50]

[SpideyZERO]

Care for some spoiler summary?

 

[pussywillow1972]

There were some continuity errors in the issue such as May's maiden name, how long webs last before disintegrating, etc. but otherwise I thought it was a really good issue.

Anybody else think "I am the Spider" throughout the issue?

 

[matt50]

yea may maiden name is reilly...hence ben reilly....not ben fitzgerald....but basically pete swears he's going to kill the person responsible for shooting may and the costume is going to set the tone. Seemed a lot like i am the spider....but then again i enjoyed spidey like that for some strange reason...

That was pop Pseudo-psychology at its worst forcing a horribly melodramatic(even for comics), and ill-fitting, response.

Straczynski’s tale, while, perhaps melodramatic, offers its reader an “All too Human”, and far more believable response.

Wolverine25th, i agree, i was thinking the same thing, the whole "Embrace the spider" thing from "the Other" will finally play a role here i think. We're going to see Peter at his most animalistic, who knows he may just end the Kingpin's life... well i can always dream.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

could someone post a scan of the final splash page?

 

[ssj wolverine]

Great read. I am loving Peter's kicking ass first ask questions later attitude. Look out Kingpin!!

 

[Captain Useless]

****!!
This issue was so good !
Peter running out of that motel rom and throwing a car, that was just so f'ing good stuff!
Ron Garney did a terrific job too.
wow ..

Aloha,
Could someone jar my memory as to why Fitzgerald has been used more than once for May.

this is what petes saying...couldn't get words bigger lol

"now i just have to do my part"

"i put this here a long time ago. I got rid of it in the first place because i thought it sent the wrong message."

"Maybe I kept it because there might come a day when i'd want to send that message."
"that the rules don't apply anymore. That the gloves are off."

"That I won't stop, can't be stopped, until AI find the people responsible for shooting May."

"I will find them."

"And when I do--I'm going to Kill them."

Aloha,
Just like boxing fans love to see a good knock down, bloody drag out, so too, comic books fans LOVE a good fight. What we have to remember is, todays comic book writers are getting paid BIG BUCKS to write-the days of panels of fighting with just sound effects is gone. But man, I really dug this issue. Spidey strikes back-BIG TIME!

[Venom Drool]

hes got the large package

 

[SpideyZERO]

The final page of Spidey is the greatest!!! Good job Garney. But I just dislike how he drew the spider symbol, it's kinda too big and round

 

[kguillou]

IRON MAN Watch Your Back!! Pete's out for blood, after he kills kingpin he's comin for you!!

You know I wouldn't mind using the "embrace the spider" crap as a retcon for his "i am the spider" phase way back pre-Clone Saga. Cause that stuff sucked balls and it would be much better to explain it away as his inner spider coming through rather than Pete going wacko.

Great Garney Art! I don't know why people hate him so much. He reminds me of JRJR and who doesn't love JRJR!!!

(couple posts later: Lameoposter87: "Not everyone here loves JRJR. Stop trying to tell us what we think! )

 

[walternewell]

A really good issue, but now I'm afraid...Peter's about to travel down a dark road from which there is no return. He's a man on the run, who's not about to let anyone or anything get in his way...is this the end of Spider-Man as we know him?

 

[Mr Jide]

The answer is, no. This is not the end of spider-man as we know it. No matter how p1ssed off he is, Aunt May's words from a time long ago is going to end up hijacking spidey's subconscious, bringing him to his senses.

 

[SpideyInATree]

It was all right. I liked the way Pete was going around and taking no prisoners whereever he went. Him throwing the Jeep at the assassin was the highlight of the year I think.

However, this issue was plagued with so many blatant and horrid continuity errors that I wonder how this issue saw print. I mean...ASM had been getting delayed due to Civil War and they had some extra time to sit on it. You'd have thought maybe someone would have gone...."Hmm, Aunt May's maiden name wasn't Fitzgerald but Reilly...hence why the clone of Peter Parker called himself Ben Reilly". But I guess maybe some genius figured that nobody would notice that? Dude, we're comic book nerds...you'd have figured out by now that you can't BS a comic nerd.

And Peter stopped wearing the black costume because it reminded Mary Jane of Venom. And during that time Venom was bad ass and could have attacked at any moment. But, as usual, nobody remembers THAT either. Because that would require acknowledging that stuff happened to Spider-Man before his run on Spider-Man, heh.

Yes, I see now why people have been upset with JMS for a while. But STILL he's by no means the evil man and bad writer that a lot of people have made him out to be. A lot of it falls onto the editors and higher ups in my opinion. People should catch stuff like that...I mean...especially if it's your JOB to do it. If I let stuff slip by like that at work on a constant basis I wouldn't have a job anymore.

Marvel...seriously...if anybody is reading this...which you're not...hire me. Make me continuity editor for the entire Marvel Universe...seriously. I can do it. I'll make things make sense and stop us comic nerds from *****ing so much. I can't guarentee NO *****ing. But I can cut it down with strong continuity...which is something that some fans ONLY ask for. And how hard is it to do that? Not hard. So lets put some work into these books, please?

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

You forgot the most glaring continuity error... How is it that Spidey's webbing (holding the black costume) hasn't dissolved over the years?

 

[kguillou]

its unbelievable how much Marvel's trying to make us forget about the clone saga. They're even afraid to mention the name "Reilly" because it brings chills down their spine. Shameful, just shameful. That pretty much says that Ben reilly aint never comin back fellow spidey nerds. Marvel's tryin to completely erase the clone sgaa from continuity which in my opinion would be a HUGE mistake, but hell i dont write for marvel so what do i know?
I dont care how much Marvel is trying to erase it, Spiderman #75 is still on my top 5, sucha classic classic issue, why are they trying to destroy it??

 

[Miss Webb]

LOL, every personal crisis needs a raging thunderstorm and lightning. Its becoming the stock cliche. Funny thing though, seeing him websling in street clothes is losing its impact already. Time to go back to black.

He'll turn into a giant spider and eat somebody. Hopefully Kingpin.
