It's uh, it's not looking good. For example.
>6160 Spider-Man: Dresses up to take his wife to a fancy dinner date to have a tense chat with his latest friendemy
>616 Spider-Man: Takes his wife to a date at fricking Chuck E. Cheese.
I'd almost consider this a dig against Hickman's Ultimate Issue 4, except the Free Comic Book Day issue leaked long before the FCBD issue did. So maybe Ultimate Issue 4 was a dig against this instead.
What I will say is that I feel vindicated regarding prior arguments that the lawyer b***h Michelle (not to be confused with the previous lawyer b***h Peter dated named Michelle) wasn't the one on the date with him. It's instead the less b***hy but still bland Shay, who is a nurse at Ravencroft.

>the living brain is hijacking animatronics to mess with Peter
>Did it also set up the Chuck E. Cheese date? Did it also set up the attempt at the Michelle date? Was it the one setting up the Shay date instead of Anna?
The mystery of 'who is setting up Peter dates with randos' is the most intriguing mystery Wells had since WHAT DID PETER DO at the beginning, and he well probably frick it up.
Ruh roh, looks like our Peter has
GUH-GUH-GUH-GIRL TROUBLE
haha, kill me.
>Peter: Wait you mean the whole fight earlier was pointless and unnecessary because you just wanted to talk???
>FNAF Ripoff: MY BROTHER IN CHRIST THIS IS A ZEB WELLS COMIC
If they just played it as a horror movie scene where they recounted their warning and then burst into flames or something, that'd actually be way more impactful and raw as hell.
Hickman: Little action, but always tense and high stakes.
Zeb: Gratuitous action, with zero consequences.
Man, no wonder the autistic children and grooming victims making up what passes for Zeb's fanbase were b***hing about Ultimate Issue 4.
This is literally shit that's happened a billion times already just frick off She-Paul
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST CALL A SUPERHERO FRIEND YOU HAVE WHEN BOTH OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER FROM A HACKED CHUCK E CHEESE ROBOT BECAUSE... YOU JUST CAN'T, OKAY????
>Literally a plot point so stale and cliche that even Steve Ditko or John Romita would've cried foul.
The guys who were more original than this have died of old age...
>Five Nights at Spidey's
Meanwhile Looper has textless leaks of ASM 50.

I have never seen a more dead on arrival arc than this one, and it's not just because we already just had this arc six months ago. Let me elaborate.
>Peter gets turned into the Green Goblin by being dosed with Goblin Serum
Jesus fricking christ, even the magic spear and the whole sin transference bullshit had more stakes. This is literally 'just wait for the serum to turn off, bro!' It is even more temporary and lower stakes than the last Goblin Sins arc that already just happened.
>Variant covers for our BIG ISSUE FIFTY
At least Norman is looking handsome...
Willem Dafoe was an excellent casting choice for Norman Osborn in the Raimi movies because Dafoe can make these faces in real life.
Been there, done that. Yet again.
>Hey Cat, aren't you dating a woman and actively blackmailing and gaslighting MJ on behalf of your criminal girlfriend in your mini right now?
>lol who gives a shit, Spider?
>fair enough!
>Peterfel
only part worth reading so far.
The costume is really cute.
Peter wants off Zeb Wells crazy ride.
Tfw when you try to be the bigger man and treat the soul-sucking corporate piece of trash like a person, and he still turns on you at the drop of a liripipe.
His face is too thin. Looks too much like Harry.
...None of these artists know the physical difference between Harry and Norman and the colonists make it worse.
It's the Green Monkee!
Did Norman run out of Goblin Serum and switch over to meth?
Lenten fasting is hard on mutates who need those extra carbs and proteins in their diet.
>On Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays of Lent: Everyone of age 14 and up must abstain from consuming meat.
>On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday: Everyone of age 18 to 59 must fast, unless exempt due to usually a medical reason.
Depends on the denomination. Mine is more traditional. We don't eat meat at all, must give up something we enjoy, and must fast until Lent ends.
I don't think I could willingly give up meat for 40 days.
Trust me. It's easier than it seems. The pope says fish isn't meat.
Apparently Capybaras and Alligators aren't meat either.
Norman's going to eat the Lizard during Lent and blame it on the Catholicism.
What counts as cannibalism in Marvel? I can imagine eating sentient beings would be frowned on but if they're no longer human, would it really be cannibalism?
I want him carnally <3
also frick Zebediah and frick Nicks, you don't deserve to write Norman (or anyone, really)
I miss gold goblin. It feels like we barely knew him.
I don't know what's lazier. This, or if they'd just brought back the spear and had Peter get stabbed again somehow.
Goblin Farts? Have a little class, Wells.
I liked it when Norman respected Peter enough to essentially make it his choice whether Pete went goblin mode or not. Sure, torture and coercion was involved but at the end of the day, the green goblin respected Parker's no and didn't just gas him.
So based on the covers Norman gasses Peter, who then immediately betrays him and becomes a bigger threat?
Looks like it. Norman gets rewarded as a traitor deserves. Betrayal begets betrayal. Pity their wasn't more development with Norman.
What would you say Norman's first act of evil should have been?
It's Wells. We're probably lucky that Norman wasn't shown burning ants using the reflection off the gold goblin helmet or something equally stupid.
>Norman
>burning ants using the reflection off the gold goblin helmet
Truly a diabolical mastermind.
Are we hyped, fellow Zeb-heads
We just did this arc six months ago.
We also did this arc in the 90s
We also did it in Spider-Girl
Give him some dignity, Jesus Christ.
No Paul in the previews, so it's still not as dead on arrival as Bronfman's mini.
Yo fnaf.
Look I know Lowe wants to appeal to the FNAF autism kid crowd but for frick sake we're seriously writing Peter so goddamn pathetic that he's taking his date to kids pizzeria? For frick sake. This is fitting a square peg in a round hole just for this bit. They literally don't care anymore.
If you absolutely HAVE to do this stupid gimmick, why not write it where Spidey is following a lead, he ends up at this kids pizzeria trying to find an ex-con with info, and until the guy's shift starts he has to pretend to be a fake party Spidey
Better yet, just have Peter be a reluctant chaperone to a bunch of kids. Including his kids. The kids he's supposed to have!
I fricking bet Hickman could make a great scene of Peter just entertaining kids at a birthday party. Hell, JMD already wrote one that was better than this is in his current mini.
You know I'll forgive Peter never kids if he can just have a stable living situation, income, and relationship. That's all I ask
At the very least 'oh no I missed a date because I did a hero thing' or 'the hot girl hates me because I ran off to be Spider-Man' was played out when Steve Ditko was the one writing it.
It's kind of why MJ was such a weird breath of fresh air. "Hey Peter, y'wanna skip out on our date so we can see Spider-Man mess with the Rhino instead?" Absolutely based.
I miss when MJ was the cool based and redheadpilled gf
>Hey Tiger, this issue isn't punchy enough. You wanna just skip out to go deal with the bank robbery and then when you get back skip right to the panels where you frick me silly afterwards as a service to our loyal fans?
>No no, I can cover the bill, just make sure there's no condom involved this time.
Do you think the reason BNDgays hated MJ is because both the soijaks and the coomers both ended up liking her?
>If you absolutely HAVE to do this stupid gimmick, why not write it where Spidey is following a lead, he ends up at this kids pizzeria trying to find an ex-con with info, and until the guy's shift starts he has to pretend to be a fake party Spidey
I love when anons on here come up with better story ideas than professional story writers working on beloved characters and series.
I mean, I say "love", but it's actually incredibly depressing to think about the current state of pop media (and specifically comic books)
Yeah and you could have written it where the bots were sabotaged to kill the ex-con so he won't spill the beans. Imagine a nice moment where Peter relates to the guy who can't get a job anywhere else due to his record, and has to put up with the smell of pizza and screaming kids.
>I love when anons on here come up with better story ideas than professional story writers working on beloved characters and series.
There's unironically better fanfiction online than Zeb Wells' run. Hell, Hickman decided to do an extended 'What If' as its own separate run as a joke and it ended up being Marvel's biggest success in years.
I wonder if Norman picked the restaurant.
>Hey Kids, you like Five Nights at Freddys? That's something that was super popular last year! Time to strike when the iron is frozen...
>616 is the Ultimate Spider-Man
>6160 is the Ultimate Peter Parker
80s Peter better.
Well that's a given, and he'd be telling 6160 Peter to just hurry up and go full Back in Black on Wilson Fisk already.
Current 616 Peter is not worth talking to right now though, lol.
Peter going to five nights at freddies for free comic book day is pretty clever since that is the one day of year children actually go into comic book stores but holy shit the actual story reasoning for it so lol, and the art is atrocious.
Have no fears, we've got stories for years
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXCELSIOR TRUE BELIEVERS
A non-shit version of this would be Peter going to dinner at some gimmick automated Japanese restaurant with conveyor belts and a robot chef and for him to fake bumble his way to safety with his date so she gets to feel that he saved them (barely) before running off because the robots are yelling about murdering Parker.
Even 70s Era Peter Parker knew to use excuses like "Okay, you're safe and out of here? Good. I need to go back in to take some pictures, don't wait up for me."
He's supposed to be a smart guy who has been doing this for a while. You'd think he'd have been more creative and clever with the excuses he made by by now.
>Ah, but, that would require the writers to be creative and clever.
Alas.
You don't even need to be clever just acknowledge the fact that Peter knows how to rescue people with and without the mask.
Still more clever than the writers right now, at least.
>m-m-maybe kids will read our comics if we added fnaf in them!
have a nice day, wells, you old bum.
>leaks
>bleedingcool
>all this complaining about asm
>always in the top 10 of comic sales
It's like I'm back in the Slott run. Speaking of Slott, looks like his redemption double run with Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Boy aren't catching on. Only real competition ASM has is with Ultimate Spider-Man.
If nothing else, ASM is still selling less than half Ultimate should be. I'll still gloat about that, at least.
That information says really sad things about the comics industry as a whole.
I find it hilarious no one outside of Slott is acknowledging Spider Boy. What are the odds he passive aggressively writes him out of existence again?
Spider-Boy was in gang war.
You mean a tie in book Slott wrote and not mentioned anywhere else?
No, the ending, which Zeb wrote. Bnd boy got his bros back.
I dont recall
He and MJ showed up for the final battle, but neither of them did anything worth remembering.
Spider-boy just showed in Spider-women and had an arc in the spider-man infinity comic written by a diffrent writer
> During Marvel Comics' LA Comic Con panel just now, Stegmen says May 2024's Spider-Man & THe Ultimte Universe #1 one-shot will "some parallels to Five Nights at Freddy's."
oh so this makes sense now
>"why are people nostalgic for JMS era even despite its faults?" asks the Marvel editorial
It's a mystery, really.
He got her during a good mood. I remember MJ having the occasional issue with his disappearances at times.
Which is kind of stupid. Literally the only way the world can function without descending into pure insanity in these comics is to put on a mask and beat up someone before he kills between a few dozen to a couple of billion people. The world in these universes would literally be a postapocalyptic hellscape if the good guys slipped up even once.
People are allowed to be sad or annoyed that their best laid plans with their partners got cancelled. It's human.
I know, but on the other hand if Peter was never in her life, MJ would have died a dozen times over by now because she’d have been collateral damage in some stupid supervillain thing along with the rest of New York.
There was at least one issue where MJ witnessed a murder outside her dorm, and the culprit attempted to murder her in order to keep her silent. It had nothing to do with Spider-Man, but if Peter weren’t there she’d absolutely have died.
Have Peter and MJ had a confrontation yet over her betraying him? Has anyone called her out?
>Have Peter and MJ had a confrontation yet over her betraying him?
Not really
>Has anyone called her out?
Nope.
You have to understand, doing either one of those things would mean Wells/Lowe implicitly admitting they majorly fricked up with their grand storyline, and they'll never do that.
MJ’s Aunt Anna does gently call MJ out, and imply that that MJ is in the wrong.
It’s also funny because Anna has no idea who Paul is or that MJ ever had kids, because she had no idea Peter and MJ even broke up in the first place despite being MJ’s last remaining parental figure.
It just makes Paul look pretty pathetic.
Someone’s finally making an accurate OG AmFan15 suit.
did spider-man appear in x-men cartoon or I can safely skip it
Yes. So did DOOM
frick, do I have to watch older cartoon too? I assume it's adapting modern slop and inferno with no connection to the older one outside of morph?
No it's adapting 90s and maybe 00s storylines. The 90s show mostly did Claremont stuff from the 80s
The Byrne run sucked, and the 90s was one of the weakest eras for Spidey before, well, the current one. I’d like to see more 80s stories adapted.
