Comics Did anyone here...

You really make too many threads

And no I never hated it.

 

I love it

 

Never hated it.

And its true CW, you make HUNDREDS of threads, the hype stopped counting them after you'd made 500...

 

Well if I made a thread every time I asked a question the boards'd be clogged up mate.

 

You could have stuck it in the Iron Spider thread or the other hundred costume threads.

 

Black costume rules!

Iron Spidey drools.

 

I love the black costume as much as I love the red and black costume...and that is slightly more than an obese child loves bakery goods

 

Uh...the black costume OWNS. Period.

 

I was buying Spidey comics when the Black costume was introduced, and while I didn't hate it, I didn't think it was the right look for Spidey and was glad that he went back to his red'n blues about 6 issues later.

Though when he wore the black suit that the Black Cat made for him, it was a rough 3 years that followed... because Spidey is iconic enough that you should never change his looks, same as Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman. There can be temporary costumes for the sake of a story, but never anything permanent.

Amazing Spider-Man #301 had a sweet, sweet long-awaited cover... in my opinion.

 

Yeah....When I think "Spidey", I think "Red & Blue". The Black suit still owns, though.

 

I agree that I don't think it's the right 'look' for Spidey, but the black costume represents something more than what it is: it represents the golden age of Spider-Man, IMO. The stories written in that time are what I consider to be his best.

 

Ash says:

"Next person who says 'iconic' gets a big helpin' of BOOMSTICK!"

 

It's funny... the pre-black costume era was the Roger Stern run, arguably the third best run in ASM history (behind Stan's & Marv Wolfman's), yet the Tom Defalco era, which was basically the black costume time, was pretty decent. I wouldn't say "great", but really decent.

I will admit that Spidey's writers haven't been all that good in nearly 20 years.

 

My god... the creation of the HobGoblin, the epic battle between Spidey & the Juggernaut, the kid who collected Spider-Man, the long-awaited return of Mary Jane (she was absent from the book for about 5 years prior to his writing her back in... she took off after Peter proposed to her the first time), some great insights on the origin of the Vulture, a great story involving the original Tarantula, Will'O the Wisp & that evil corporation, Brand, another one with Cobra & Mr.Hyde...

It's all good!

 

I love Army of Darkness...it's so Iconic

 

I could definitely see someone saying the black suit doesn't fit with Spider-Man, but still, it's an awesome design.

 

Yeah... Spidey tosses Cobra to Hyde, and Hyde's hand is gooped up with webbing attached to Cobra's head.

 

Aloha,
Gee that sounds familiar. And I completely agree
Spidey rules
