The man who writes Spider-Man talks Marvel’s Cinematic Universe

Walt

A chat with comics writer Dan Slott about Spider-Man from the Verge: What were your thoughts around Spider-Man finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?: I was completely side-swiped. I didn’t see it coming at all. I had so long been told about the politics of it, and had been told by the powers that be that it was never, ever, ever going to happen. So, I was gobsmacked. You write Spider-Man right now, but you’ve also written The Avengers in comic form. Especially since there can’t exactly be a…

Amazing Spider-Man 14 Review

Media Release

As a whole, Spider-verse may be Marvel’s best attempt at an event comic in years. The core premise and conflict engrossing. the way it celebrates Spider-Man’s long, colorful history is delightful. Even the tie-ins tend to be well-crafted and very relevant to the core storyline. That said, there have been flaws with the approach to Spider-verse, and those flaws threaten to derail the whole experience in this final issue. Amazing Spider-Man #14 is almost entirely consumed by the final battle between the surviving Spiders and the Inheritors. Everyone’s path finally…

Amazing Spider-Man #11 Review

Media Release

Spider-Verse has already gotten a great deal of mileage out of cramming as many versions of Spider-Man onto the page as possible and watching the chaos that unfolds as a result. There’s plenty more of that in this third chapter. However, more compelling than Spider-mania is the long-awaited confrontation between Peter Parker and the man who stole his body and calls himself the Superior Spider-Man. That confrontation is the highlight of another memorable chapter in the Spider-Verse saga. Dan Slott picks up from the chaos of issue #10 as multiple…

Spider-Verse Marvel

Event Synopsis After sensing that Silk was released from captivity by Spider-Man, Morlun stated that the Great Hunt, where he and his family would kill every Spider-Totem in the Multiverse, had begun.

Amazing Spider-Man #2 review

Walt

This issue picks up right where the last issue left off and deals with Peter Parker’s relationship with Anna Maria Marconi. In fact I have to admit the first few pages of this comic had me legitimately surprised. I wasn’t expecting Peter to problem the way he did. SPOILER I was rather shocked when Peter not only openly admitted he was Spider-Man, but explained the entire situation regarding the body-swap with Doc. Ock. I’ll have to admit Anna’s open acceptance of the situation stuck me as a bit strange, but…

Spider-Man joined by Silk, New Female Superhero

Media Release

Lightning can strike twice — and so, apparently, can radioactive spiders. Marvel Comics is introducing a brand new character, a mysterious female super powered figure named Silk, in this Wednesday’s Amazing Spider-Man #1. And though she’s brand new, her origin is familiar to comic book fans. That’s because her spider-based powers come from the same irradiated arachnid as the one that changed the course of Peter Parker’s life. “The spider lived long enough to bite one more person,” explains writer Dan Slott. “When I pitched that idea at one of…

Peter Parker the True Spider-Man

Walt

This is a review of Superior Spider-Man 30 so if you have not read it yet (So where have you been) I suggest you don’t read this post right now but after you read #30. SPOILER ALERT. Superior Spider-Man 30 is one of the most satisfying stories that I have ever read. It has the climax and emotional twist that make a story interesting but mostly it finalizes what we all knew, that from Amazing Spider-Man 700 to Superior Spider-Man #30 Peter Parker is and should be the true hero…
