Comics Asm #534 *spoilers*

[J. J. Jameson]

Just so ya know: SPOILERS AHEAD



Issue 534 is a great issue in my opinion. Basically it deals with the Pro-Reg people moving those captured during Civil War #3 to a more permanent facility. The story is, of course, through Spidey's eyes. Both sides of the public's view are shown. There are supporters and protesters lining the streets. Cap and crew attack the "parade". Cap offers Spider-Man the option of joining the Anti-Regs. As much as he wants to, Spidey must refuse (or so he thinks). So they fight. Man, that's a fight. Truly amazing. By the end of the issue, Spidey knows he's doing the legal thing. But is it the right thing?



Spidey is also becoming suspicious of the "Iron Spidey" costume. And suspects that Stark is secretly gathering data through it without Spidey's knowledge.

I was hoping Thor would be with the Pro-Reg parade, as he was shown to be in Civil War #3, but he does not make an appearence.

All in all, a great ish.

By the end of the issue, Spidey knows he's doing the legal thing. But is it the right thing?

I thought so. Just yesterday on another message board I concluded that what Marvel really means by saying "there is no right or wrong side in Civil War" that the pro-registration side is LEGALLY right but MORALLY wrong and the anti-registration side is MORALLY right but LEGALLY wrong. Except, of course, that would mean that the anti-registation side is in the right, which means Marvel really IS taking sides when all the while they're claiming they are not. Course, given Civil War and all the subsequent tie-ins, that should've been apparent.

Spidey is also becoming suspicious of the "Iron Spidey" costume. And suspects that Stark is secretly gathering data through it without Spidey's knowledge.

Hmmm, finally getting a clue that maybe Stark isn't exactly your friend, eh Spider-Tool?

heh lol

I'm shocked that Spider-man hasn't already figured out that Tony has been using him.

 

[J. J. Jameson]

I still pray that we see Spider-Man beat Iron Man's butt. Hard.

 

[bulletbillx]

I think by the end of it he'll find the symbiote was more trustworthy than the iron spidey suit.

Isn't stark committing a crime by using the suit to spy on spidey? That's like reading his mail or recording his phone calls. If it's not a crime, its a low thing to do.

I get it in the mail. Lately, I've been getting them on the weekend before they hit stores. Yes! I hope it keeps it up.

Lucky bastard.

I'm suprised that Peter hasn't gotten wise to Stark yet, given that 1) It's Tony Stark, and 2) Stark has already shown his lack of trust in Peter by planting bugs in Peter and MJs room that Peter should more or less know about after he contacted Peter via a bugged statue.

Given Extremus and the Iron Man armor, could Peter take on Iron Man?

 

[Sloth7d]

Has there ever been a spiderman story acr where Peter is THIS stupid?
When Norman Osborn was secretly hipnotising him with toothpaste he realised something was wrong faster opposed to something obvious like this.

spider-man is quicker and more agile than the suit can make tony. he's nowhere near as strong but can still do damage. plus although SM can't fly he won't need to if he's just being defensive towards an IM attack and, defensively speaking, IM's shots shouldn't be the greatest of threats with SM's spider-sense.

tony will underestimate pete's intelligence and i think that'll give pete the edge. i fully expect SM to lose their first battle but hit back with a vengence, hopefully striking the winning blow. -- doubt us SM fans will be that lucky though

Battle against typeface. cos, um... he lost to a guy called typeface.

 

[Sloth7d]

I said stupid, not pathetic.
I can list a number of books where writers underestimate spidey and have him get trashed by a random villain. But Spiderman is not stupid. Infact, Norman Osborn, in a way, respects him because of his intellect before he respects him for his powers.

It depends on how much the Extremis augmented Tony. He made some changes to the Extremis, like contining his Iron Man skin in his body etc but did he also get the enhanced reflexes, speed, endurance, and strength?

 

[MyPokerShirt]

^i thought he just became one with the armour.

wow, sounds sexual put like that.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)? haha

If Spider-man beats down Iron man and regains his balls...

I will forgive Marvel for everything.....

Well Ok, not everything...but alot of it

 

[J. J. Jameson]

I'm really hoping for a show down between Spidey and Iron Man.

Once Jigsaw broke spidermans arm like a twig, forgivness was not an option.

 

[storyteller]

Stark is already messed up by his own nanobots, Who knows what special adjustments he made to petes suit. For all we know stark could pull the stuff the ultimate version pulled on black widow.

 

[Kraven]

I think it's a safe assumption we'll see Pete beat down on Iron Man, if upcoming covers aren't too misleading...

 

[DACrowe]

Why is Spider-Man so dumb now? He has always done what is morally right, not jsut what the law says and not become the puppet of Bush. He seems stupider in that suit than when he was turned evil by the Venom symbiote.

Oy really though.

 

[MyPokerShirt]

^he was never turned evil by the symbiote in 616 spidey. it just wanted to bond with him so he rejected it, helping create the venom personality. he should really feel more bad about that. poor thing. i will reiterate my view i think it makes sense for SM to side with tony, whatever side that may be. he wants what's right for his family, who have the security of tony's money. he feels he has a responsibility to tony, who has done so much for him. but yes unmasking was not good for his safety.

dont worry though, HE'LL SWITCH SIDES

 

[Miss Webb]

*serious pissed off beat down by spidey in the works*
