Previews are now available for issue 11 of the adjectiveless Spider-Man run. Finally we get to see what backstory he has. Will be posting the pages.Daredevil kino incoming.

Did he ever act like this towards Miles?
Not sure. iirc some anons who read their interaction said he kind of just accepts him very easily.
Miles was trained by the female Ultimate Spider-Woman
Quiet libshit Miles was a Gary stu with no characters who opposed him
Nope.
He got help and training from Ultimate Jessica Drew.
As in the fem-Peter clone?
Not once, neither did 1610.
Never.
Miles already had the ropes figured out by the time Ultimate Peter came back to life, and he isn't the clingy b***h to 616 Pete like Spider-Boy is here.
Yes
Bahahahaha.... Peter is such an butthole.
At least he is willing to talk to Bailey.
>SPIDER-BOY NO MORE
>GET IT GUYS BECAUSE SPIDER-MAN NO MORE IS A FAMOUS COMIC
I wanna be rn down the comic industry to the ground at this point
I'll make all the blood rush to your head, alright! Damn brat!
Kinda disappointed they didn't unravel the mystery over time and just dumped everything right out in the open like that
I was ready to go for a ride and I'm immediately not interested in the character anymore
We still have a lot of unanswered questions about him. This is just Bailey trying to get Peter to remember him.
>Verification not required
Even captcha loves Daredevil.
So he is pretty much a more severe case of what Miguel O'Hara went through for his powers.
Unlike Bailey Miguel's mutation allows him to produce organic webbing. You can even see the organ that makes it on this page. Regardless I like the slight body horror take. Nothing too extreme but weird enough.
The spinnerets under the skin like that looks gross
He's a horrifying spider-human hybrid as the consequence of a salty coworker sabotaging his genetic code's rewriting. He's lucky he only came out of it with weird eyes, fangs, claws and some gross ass spinnerets.
True. He also kicks ass
kinda wished he look more monstrous when using his powers
I don't think we've seen his final form.
Nothing implies that he has anything more than what we see but I guess we'll have to wait until the full release.
He looks a bit like the monster baby from It's Alive (1974) except Vecchio draws his fang teeth going in funky directions.
I don't think we have either. Bailey says he does not like to monster out.
Well, we only know his power set and that he got trained by Daredevil (the former was pretty obvious already). We have to learn something about him, or else it wouldn't be believable that Peter would warm up to the kid. As for mysteries, we still don't know who Bailey's parents are. His mom might be Stephanie Briggs, but his dad? Did he always have some spider powers to begin with? And why does he seem to have a stronger psychic connection to Peter?
And will he bang that cute girl from FEAST?
I hope he eats that cute girl from FEAST.
No!
He will shota her!
>eats
Spiders are not vegetarians, anon.
True but Bailey is no cannibal.
That remains to be seen.
If Miguel rejected eating human meat Bailey can too
Why would he want to?
I don't know.
>Spiders are not vegetarians
Peni is vegetarian.
She's also not a spider.
Anyone who gets bitten by a radioactive spider is technically part spider.
By that logic, anyone ever bitten by a mosquito is a mosquito.
Anyone bitten by the mosquito totem is a mosquito.
Doesn't the spider bite rewrite a bit of DNA?
Anon is talking about radioactive spiders. You average mosquito wouldn't give you superpowers, although neither would radiation.
This should be Bailey's theme song.
Hold the Spider-Boy
Won't you hold him!
Touch the Spider-Boy
Won't you touch him!
Bring him to the light!
(Bring him to the light)
Love the Spider-Boy
Won't you love him!
Save the Spider-Boy
Somebody save him!
Make it all turn out alright!
Would no one defend him, protect him, befriend him
Would none hear his cry?
(Yeah, would none hear his cry?)
Or would they detest him, arrest him, molest him?
Or just let him die?
You can't just stand by!
He has suffered and now it's your turn
You are here not to laugh; but to learn
Listen to his ungodly shriek
Watch what they put him through
Heed the tale of a filthy freak-
Who's just like you!
And you!
And YOU!
Oh!
Hold me Baily
Touch me Baily
Won't you help me through the night
Make it all turn out alright!
Love me Baily
Save me Baily
I've been calling out your name
Come and take away my shame!
Catchy
>He looks a bit like the monster baby from It's Alive (1974)
kek he kind of does
Bailey teaming up with Miguel when?
Artist?
End of preview. Full release is on the 16 which is 5 days from now.
>Club
Is that a reference to Stick? Nice.
Hopefully we get to see Bailey reunite with Daredevil in his ongoing. I kind of like the dynamic they seem to be establishing between them.
Daredevil and Spidey team ups are the best ones.
Kaneda? Where's Tetsuo?
The whole gang is in there, actually
I think I recognize the guy on the far left. He was the other guy that survived Tetsuo.
He's the one who gets killed (Yama), the one you're thinking of (Kai) is right below Spidey, holding an MP5 (or is that an MP9?).
That's cool
The comic also has cameos of the cast from Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell.
Nice
Is that Peni with Daredevil?
Yes, her version of him. I believe he's like her Misato.
>Oh so she sees him near-naked all the time and he kisses her?
We never see that but given the number of Evangelion parallels you could see that as a possible outcome. For your demented fanart/fanfiction.
>Misato
That would be her Aunt May.
It is. Daredevil always helping out young Spidey People. IIRC Daredevil knew Peni's father before he died.
Why would Peter need a lawyer?
Accessory to child abuse/child endangerment?
Makes sense
It weirds me out how his fangs point.
yeah, the fang pointing outward makes me think of some asian mythological creatures. like Barong or cultures of that area. it has its place in some designs but it's a bit ehhhh for spider-boy. it's a miss, personally.
this is cool, i like inked artwork like this. colors are fine when they complement the artist's style, but bw stuff also rocks
yo this is great, thanks for these. let's just see how spider-boy deals with villains he used to fight. he might just confuse them with how he already knows ways to deal with them, intel advantage is great to have
>He's got eight eyes
Is Spider-Man supposed to be dumb or did editorial miss this?
It's an editorial error. He was obviously meant to say he had eight EXTRA eyes.
>Cue Karate Kid theme
Bailey needs to train.
>Wax on, wax off
Funny enough, Peter actually sings "You're the best around" to Bailey during his training and tells him to sweep the leg.
That's awesome
Just a couple more days now.
>Tomorrow
Finally.
Why is Daredevil in a different art style?
The shading makes him look cool.
Being a random mutant experiment is better than the worst case scenario theories people were throwing around. I still don't particularly like him yet or how every line of his mouth is inducing retcons like an exposition machine.
Any examples of those theories? The only one I heard was how he was somehow connected to Ben.
What worst case scenario?
Mephisto contract comes to mind.
I hate Mephisto. Good thing he is not involved.
Since it's so short I'll just repost the Madame Monstrosity introduction.
holy crap its jacket
What?
>Dailey Bugle
>"That menace has been spotted slinging around with a kid. He's corrupting the youth! Parker take the paper boy Bailey with you and get me pictures of Spider-Boy!"
kek
Someone should draw Bailey interacting with Jonah Jameson. Also doesn't he run a podcast now like Joe Rogan or is that only in Insomniac's Spider-Man?
Jameson hosts a podcast but I think he's part of a media company, isn't he?
I still want Bailey to work for Jameson at the media corp building as a newsboy/gopher type assistant. Bailey says he wears clip-ons, so clip-on bow ties are a must for Spider-Boy's workplace attire.
>I still want Bailey to work for Jameson at the media corp building as a newsboy/gopher type assistant. Bailey says he wears clip-ons, so clip-on bow ties are a must for Spider-Boy's workplace attire.
Sounds adorable although I felt Bailey was referring to a normal tie while fighting Mr. Negative's goons. It's why he says nobody can use pulling on his tie against him if the situation was reversed. Also, this is just speculation but I think the only time he ever had to wear a suit and tie was for his mother's funeral. Hopefully we learn more about his parentage.
I just meant that I hope Bailey ends up working for Jameson with clip-on bow ties (not that he currently works for him) the same way I hope Bailey has to face Stegron and Sauron given his love of dinosaurs.
I wasn't disagreeing with you or anything. I have similar expectations.
>Jameson hosts a podcast
>"Spider-Man is putting chemicals in the water that's turning the freaking frogs gay!"
Canonically, Bailey became Peter’s sidekick when he was 7 during Big Time. He’s 10 now.
NTA but are you replying to the wrong post?
Please let him have a cameo in Bailey's flashback
>The implication she's behind Rhino, The Lizard, an MORBIN TIME!
not a fan
Rhino can work if the scientists who worked on him were trying to copy Farley's creation of Scorpion. Unnamed scientists have used his stuff or his brother to make other villains like the fourth guy who became Vulture.
>Lizard and Morbius weren't accidents, they were foul play done by Slott's new OC
Oh frick off.
Seems Slott was subtweeting about a guy who went on a hilarious spergy rant on Twitter about him and this reveal with Dr. Connors, Morbius, and Rhino. Slott tried his best to keep it vague about what he was talking about without spoiling, but the timing is too close for it to be a coincidence since we know he does browse Twitter.
>Constantly in awe of comic fans who get *really* worked up and upset over story moments that can be easily explained away by either...
>1. An unreliable narrator. or 2. An easily reversed death. It's comics. C'mon.
I could be wrong and maybe it is coincidental. Some anons did suspect Madame Monstrosity to be a paranoid schizo anyway. Rhino is not even a hybrid for example.
I think she’s just a paranoid megalomaniac combined with the wicked stepmother from Cinderella.
I agree with you on that. The wicked stepmother is a good comparison. I get a little bit of that in her design.
On the one hand, fair enough, but on the other the actual page seems to offer very little room for interpretation. That is, it invites only one real interpretation because she never outright says it, but as the comic viewer you get to see visual aids indicating just who she's talking about. And there's literally only one reason to do this.
Obviously, one could still go "well she's unreliable," but from the perspective as a reader of the comic the actual page in front of you offers more evidence in support than not. You have to actively dismiss the thing you're seeing. A better writer would've done something else. Something where she actually said the thing and the comic didn't rely on art to communicate the idea. And she would've said it in a way much more clearly showing how two-sided this sort of thing could be and why she would say/think it even if it wasn't true.
Accusing Slott of being a poor writer isn't a crazy thing, though.
I hope we don't see the Regent again.
Don't think we will, if only because he's so deeply associated with MJ and marriage.
Good to hear
Slott just dropped some commentary regarding this page. Essentially we can dismiss Madame Monstrosity as a schizo who had nothing to do with the Lizard, Rhino, and Morbius. Posted over at CBR.
>Is it that big a surprise that they all had a mother who was also a scientist in the same field? And is it that big of a "square peg" to suggest that she was one of the masterminds behind that field of science?
>Outside of those connections, the Lizard, Morbius, & Rhino "revelations" are things that she's said over a phone call. We have no idea if this twisted, mad scientist is telling the truth or not about any of that. There's nothing we've seen. No evidence at all. Outside of 4 word balloons from a character we've just met. She could be an unreliable narrator. Or she's telling us some version of the truth-- and maybe someday we'll see those back stories. Or maybe we won't.
Thank god
Backpedaling little weasel, would it kill him to not try to pull this shit for once?
I appreciate it him for at least backpedaling. It's better than Wells and Lowe refusing to admit cucking Peter with MJ x Paul is stupid and nobody likes it.
How is this backpedaling? It seemed really obvious to me.
You don't have your artist feature the subject in great detail when the narrator is unreliable. And Slott has pulled this shit countless times before on Spider-Man the exact same way.
>You don't have your artist feature the subject in great detail when the narrator is unreliable.
NTA but I thought it was done to remind readers of what the character is talking about like how manga does it. Japan use it for a variety of contexts.
I felt this was the case. Rhino is not even a hybrid.
Lmao he really only did this cause of the reaction that's just such a pussy move. Double down on your crap writing or just don't write it, you don't see writers in other mediums doing this shit.
>Double down on your crap writing
Wonder how that is going for ASM right now.
Even ASM is doing that same shit with felicia and peter, its garbo.
Not really, Felicia being the clutch and getting ditched soon was telegraphed rather heavily, they never even spent any time on their relationship.
>Essentially we can dismiss Madame Monstrosity as a schizo who had nothing to do with the Lizard, Rhino, and Morbius.
This is what I figured.
She's a creepy old Disney stepmother.
At least he listens more than Wells
>All these male supervillains were actually secretly the work of a woman this whole time
Oh, western comics
sex with bailey
bald bailey or regular bailey or both?
nta but both
>PARKER! GET ME PICTURES OF SPIDER-BOY! AS MANY AS YOU CAN!
yep
this seems fun
Of course. Daredevil is always fun.
I like this variant cover they did. Reminds me of Tony Hawks for some reason.
Miles gets swords, bailey gets a sick ass skateboard.
I can see Bailey with a skateboard.
Bailey having a skateboard would be cool. He's already got the skater hair.
>Miles gets swords
I still think that sucked.
HERE COMES SPIDER-BOY WITH THE STEEL SKATEBOARD
Go Bailey, go
Is that Madame Monstrosity's Mr. Cricket?
The photo negative one was cool
Cool
I want him.
Why does this book feel so disconnected to everything else, and why is it the only book that remembers Peter's current suit being a helmet?
Slott's doing his own thing outside of Wells's nonsense in ASM.
Which seems like, I don't know, pointless? It's both a good and a confusing thing really. We can basically write the entire book off as not canon
>Canon
Comics have a loose definition of canon. It's not known to be consistent.
Shut up wiki reader. You add nothing to the discussion. Learn how canon actually works, read some comics, then come back.
I think this was really Lowe trying to create a smokescreen and show higher ups that with Spider-Man options out there it's not a complete dumpster fire given recent criticism. I don't believe it is working
I think it's more that Wells literally can't handle writing it, he can barely keep up with what little happens in ASM.
Bagley understands why design sheets are to be followed. And to be fair, some other books' artists did too.
Aaand I realize now this preview isn't Bagley's. Embarrassing.
Thank god it's disconnected. I fricking hate everything about Spider-Man right now. That must be why I have interest in Bailey, shit involves Peter but none of the atrocious bullshit.
Agreed. And frick everyone who thinks Miguel has a place in this story.
It's literally just spider-verse secondaries
I’ve always liked Miguel, and I hate what the movie did to him.
The Orlando books aren’t spectacular by any means but I’m glad comic Miguel is staying firmly in the future. Hate the time travel shit so much
What happened in ASM now?
Peter made a really insensitive quip in reference to The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man that feels really out of character.
Rich Woodall posted a WIP of something he is drawing with Bailey (pic related). He hasn't shown the full image yet. Might be another variant cover which would be like a total of 30 variants for Bailey now.
https://twitter.com/Johnraygun/status/1689319838584381444
He is also doing something with Peter.
https://twitter.com/Johnraygun/status/1689631287336751104
Bailey has eight eyes huh? Most of the time his hair seems to cover them so he doesn't get overloaded when he is out and about normally. So is he naturally a redhead or is that a wig I wonder?
No he implies he can make them disappear when he says he can "monster out" on this page
He can retract his eyes like he does with his fangs.
So what makes him more interesting than any other legacy character?
Nothing. He's just pedo bait
He has to actually work for it.
Well, outside that we've never had a 10-11 year old spider-powered kid with no family, trying to make it as a superhero in a world that does not remember him...
I think it's also a character dynamic with Peter that we've never seen before. Spidey's never had a true sidekick, since Alpha was always meant to be an aborted attempt at one (while showing that Peter was the right type of kid to get powers) and Miles Morales was simply always presented as an equal and replacement (which I've never liked). The idea of Pete having to help train or team up with an actual protege or surrogate son (or nephew) is an interesting angle.
And there's also the potential fun factor -- Bailey facing his own crazy rogues and some D-listers from Peter's rogue gallery in a Silver-Age style, off the wall narrative could be entertaining. Not saying it will be. But I already like Bailey's powers (especially that his spider sense warns him when other people are in danger) and I think there are a lot of potential stories there.
Since I barely know the others, Bailey is interesting to me because his conflict requires that he works harder than anyone else to be remembered now that he has nothing. With the implication that he is an orphan some drama can come from it.
I've been asking for a spider-person who actually has some spider-y features, preferably with just a bit of body horror, and I've finally gotten one. So I'm happy.
Miguel didn't satisfy you?
So he has a good amount of people he can check with in after this issue.
>Daredevil trained him
>Mr. Fantastic supposedly made his unstable molecule shoes and maybe his outfit as well
Hopefully he gets more interactions with characters outside trying to convince Peter he is his sidekick.
Part of me doesn't want him to get Peter's help because it would force him to survive on the streets for a while and we could have multiple issues with him trying to talk to Daredevil, Mr. Fantastic and so on. I'm not so sure why Peter wouldn't help a homeless superpowered child who claims to have known him though. It'd be extreme character assassination.
I think Bailey will still have to handle himself. Peter would just come by for more serious situations. Bailey's lack of web shooters make him more vulnerable than Peter.
How? He has a paralyzing bite, foresight spider vision that tells him WHO to specifically help, eight eyes that let him see any attacks coming from any direction, perfect baby blue eyes to woo women of any color, and he is a day walker ginger so the sun won't kill him like others.
He has more ups than Peter.
Bailey in the previous issue said Peter moves faster than him thanks to the webs. Web shooters are also good for ranged attacks.
Peter is a pussy who needs to fight at ranged combat. Bailey handles all his shit up close like a man does.
Bailey will be the strongest Spider-Man with all that exercise from combat.
>he is a day walker ginger so the sun won't kill him like others.
lmao
>Day walker
Don't let Blade know.
Why? Is Blade into ginger shotas?
Because he is a day walker too
He'll probably meet them along with Peter and they will be confused at why Peter has a sidekick. Since he met Mr. Fantastic that means he has the rest of the Fantastic Four to interact with.
Miles and everyone in the Spider-Verse too. His introduction had him saying he has been on adventures with all of them before.
I wonder how Bailey would handle Noir's universe.
We are going to get cameos of other heroes in this according to Slott. Since Bailey mentioned Thor I am going to assume he met him.
If Bailey met Thor then he probably met the rest of the Avengers.
How long till we get the Spiderboy versus Spiderman event?
To be honest I think we are going to get Spider-Boy versus Superior Spider-Man first. Slott recently implied on Twitter that the new Superior Spider-Man may connect to Spider-Boy.
Peter and Bailey are going to be working together so that is unlikely.
Since we are getting two stand alone stories in Spider-Boy #1, would you guys want them to continue with that format of either two short tales or a single one and done story per issue?
>Since we are getting two stand alone stories in Spider-Boy #1
We are? I thought it was just going to be like how it is usually done. To answer your question I think two stories in one issue would be good to have more scenarios to put Bailey in but I would like some arcs which would require a whole issue. Is two stories in one his they are going to do it for the whole run or is it just because it's the first issue so they want it to be special?
I thought it was going to be two in one for the first issue. Spider-Boy teaming up with Squirrel Girl, and then Bailey (and possibly Spider-Man) vs Madame Monstrosity.
I thought Bailey teaming up with Squirrel Girl was going to directly tie in to Madame Monstrosity. I was expecting Madame Monstrosity thinking she is also made with her tech.
You may be right. I just assumed from the solicit that it was two different stand-alone stories.
Now replace Pete with Bailey here.
Lucky Peter
Proof that the Parker luck was not always bad.
The only comic book superhero that could give Spider-Man a run for his money in the "landing hot chicks" department is Dick Grayson.
>Dick Grayson
True.
I'd rather replace MJ with Bailey.
Anyone would be better than MJ in the current run. She is horrible.
a better scene would be bailey appearing to rescue peter when he's stuck under all that metal
I think that edit exists somewhere.
It was Morlun that had the totem dagger, right? I hope we see the circumstances that led to Bailey getting erased.
How well-hung is Bailey?
Is he wearing... a diaper?
Yes. That guy is a diaper gay who uploads shit like that on Twitter.
Slott suffering
He wasn't really picking much of a fight this time, but CBR and Twitter gays love blowing things out of proportion. Also funny how they remove the part where he was responding to an AI gay telling him to use ChatGPT. If he was someone else they would be siding with him since everyone fricking hates AI whenever it is brought up online.
Lmao the only dudes who know or care about though are CBR gays, therefore in conjunction you got to be a CBR gay.
On a side note its kind of funny how we gotta specify this time, like the man is a repeat offender but this time he's innocent.
Chris Samnee, co-creator and artist of Firepower with Robert Kirkman, drew fanart of Bailey.
https://twitter.com/ChrisSamnee/status/1691143052776058884
Cool, I’ve always liked Samnee’s art. Hope he does a cover or even ends up penciling an issue of Spider-Boy.
A cover is most likely if he is still busy working with Kirkman. Although Fire Power looks it might end soon.
Nice. I should catch up on Fire Power.
Wished someone would story time the latest issue for Fire Power. We had threads for all the other issues that were released so far.
I think someone did or it wasn't ripped yet
Wish Fire Power was actually good.
It's alright. Doesn't have much of what I disliked about Invincible.
good art nice to see more of it
How did DC ruin Jon Kent so bad? They had a good thing going.
Had to make superman gay because ESGay/DIE
The worst part is that we are stuck with that forever
We just have to hope the Blackrock eventually runs out of money
hopefully
he was lame from the start
Super Sons was fun.
Not really
Let us agree to disagree.
Wrecking Jon Kent was one of the biggest unforced errors in recent DC Comics history. But they are determined to stick with it.
Electro having moral standards is hilarious.
Especially since he fried a bunch of kids once. With no remorse.
When did he do that?
Marvel Knights or something Millar worked on.
New variant cover got revealed for issue 1 of Spider-Boy. This is intended to be a limited edition with only 700 copies.
It's actually 800 copies. My mistake.
https://twitter.com/nicolettabaldar/status/1691488497826246675
Trippy.
It is. At first I didn't notic Bailey was in the letters because of all the colors.
What are your predictions for the issue tomorrow? You guys think Peter will accept Bailey?
Peter is definitely going to accept him. But I have a feeling that Bailey will be a sometime sidekick (with a focus on more solo adventures) since he doesn’t fit into Wells’ plans for ASM.
>inb4 Bailey would lose his shit over Paul
It's going to be an awkward conversation if Bailey asks about how MJ is doing. lmao
>A cuck? I'm the sidekick of a freaking KEK?! Screw this, I'm going to see if Daredevil has an opening.
I imagine a more Scrappy Doo scenario.
>"MJ was taken by another man?! Lemme at em, Pete!"
Slott blocked me on twitter in 2015, I usually hate most of his writing but it might just be because the rest of Marvel and DC has been so bad lately I am actually enjoying this Bailey stuff, I didn't like the Spider-Verse shit at the start of this run that was horrible but this kid is fun.
We got leaks, bros. Only a few pages though. Something happened when Bailey got web shooters which is why Peter didn't give him those.
I badly want to know what happened. Did Bailey crash into a building or something?
it's gotta be something embarrassing. what could happen with webshooters that'd be embarrassing to talk about?
Getting tangled up in them? IIRC it happened to MJ once when she found the webshooters.
probably this
Maybe Bailey went through the same thing Peter did in the Sam Raimi trilogy when he tried to swing for the time.
Bailey had a different costume before Reed gave him his current outfit.
imagine the shoejobs
Kick his ass, Bailey.
giwtwm
At least they are being friendly. Feel bad for Bailey that he has to start all over.
I'm guessing after this page we get details about what happened to Bailey and how he ended up getting stabbed with the totem dagger.
We learn another one of Bailey's rogue gallery: Gutter-Ball. Happy that they will get to work with each other.
A lot of pages are missing with important info. What do you guys think so far?
Wouldn't Bailey getting erased mean his rogues are somebody else's rogues now?
I guess so but since Gutter-Ball sounds like a Z-lister villain I imagine they don't cause that much trouble.
In the case of Madame Monstrosity, she kept a low profile. Before Bailey was erased it seems she was only discovered when Peter went to save Bailey from her. We will have to wait for the other rogues to guess how things went for them.
I’m digging it. It’s silly and fun.
Honestly i'm not a fan of Slotts work, but this is just significantly better than ASM by miles so i'm interested in seeing more Spider Boy content.
Strangely enough, I think this is more in his wheelhouse. A wacky kids adventure book as opposed to having one of the big titles like Spider-Man or Iron Man might be something much better suited for him. He can certainly play around with the idea without pissing off longtime fans of a particular established character. We will see how it plays out, but if he can keep a Silver-Age tone with off the wall villains and a convincing storyline about this homeless, forgotten kid trying to rediscover his place in the world as a superhero, it could work. There are things I’m hoping to see, but I also have no expectations for. For instance, I’d love for Bailey to become Jameson’s office gopher to make some cash (as well as to regularly interact with Jonah) or fight Stegron, but that depends on what Mr. Slott has planned.
I agree with you. Bailey's storyline is the only thing worth reading out of current Spider-Man comics.
>Gutter-Ball, the bowling alley bandit
What is his super power, bros?
he became a villain because he hated how people made fun of him, calling him (bowling) pinhead because he kept getting gutterballs while playing on his old bowling team. now he takes revenge by, i don't know, causing destruction with bowling balls? those things are heavy
I can already see his character design being hilarious. Glad Slott is planning joke villains for Bailey.
I imagine him to be like Brick Frog from Venture Bros
I’d also kill for him to buddy up with Normie Osborn and Dylan Brock.
Now that the comic is out have some more panels from it. I really like it. His interactions with Daredevil and Peter are nice.
It will be disappointing if there is no Daredevil team up for Bailey.
Agreed.
Seems like Daredevil was really Bailey’s first “sensei” and trainer, then Spider-Man took over from there.
Not to mention it is kind of a tradition for Peter another variants to team up with Murdock. I think Spider-Man Noir even had a team up with his Daredevil.
We also learn the name of another one of Bailey's villains. Their name is Killionaire.
Now we have 3 villains from Bailey's rogue gallery.
>Madame Monstrosity
>Gutter-Ball
>Killionaire
On top of those Electro will likely be out to get revenge for being bit. We had confirmation that Peter's villains will come into conflict with Bailey from time to time.
Big Wheel makes an appearance.
If Big Wheel is in, then we have hope for The Wall.
I don't remember the last time the Big Wheel was in any stories. I think Across the Spider-Verse had planned for him to be at the Bar With No Name before getting scrapped. Anyway nice seeing a goofy old villain.
He popped up in Iron Man last year when Tony had the Power Cosmic.
Well, we wanted to see Bailey fight a goofy D-lister villain like Big Wheel, and we got that (Stegron and The Wall need to happen though). I’ll get grief for this, but I am really digging the interplay on this page of Peter having a kid sidekick.
I feel more confident in the Wall and Stegron showing up now. It seems Slott really is aiming for a Silver Age vibe for some of Bailey's adventures.
im going to put my penis inside spider-boy
a list of ideas that's been piling up in my head, mostly silly stuff. there's probably a couple in the drawthread that i missed. feel free to add some stuff from discussions in previous threads https://files.catbox.moe/mkpmui.jpg
An idea tossed was Squirrel Girl and Bailey seeing who can stuff more marshmallows in their mouths. Squirrel Girl obviously wins thanks to her powers.
Perhaps Peni and Bailey discussing their Daredevils.
How long before Marvel decides to ruin the kid by aging him up?
Hopefully not any time soon and no time skips.
Spider-boy, Spider-boy
Dan Slott's marketing ploy
Have more panels from the latest issue. This interaction between Aunt May and Bailey is cute. I hope he gets to spend time with her despite her forgetting about him.
Here is a better look at Bailey's old costume before getting his current one from Reed.
Thanks for these anon.
I really like what I’m seeing. And I hope we get more interactions between Bailey and characters like Aunt May, Jonah, and even Miles Morales (big brother relationship incoming). I also like how Peter is basically a surrogate father, even though neither of them admit it.
I was wondering about Miles. Bailey does mention him talking about the shoes Reed made for him.
Miles should be the one to give Bailey his skateboard.
I don't see Miles as the type but sure.
It could be Peter then. Or perhaps he buys it himself. But Bailey seems like a skater kid.
Oh yeah I can see Bailey having fun with a skateboard
In one of the flash backs of the issue, it seems to imply Peter took Bailey to school, promising to take him to Coney Island if he had good grades for a whole semester. It's honestly cute and I wish I had the page to post it right now. I would not be surprised if people thought Bailey was Peter's son, especially since he is a redhead like MJ.
Any indication who Bailey’s biological mother and father are?
No unfortunately but we get a page where Bailey goes to apologize to Daredevil, but Daredevil reveals that he knows Bailey prefers being around Peter because he is able to keep secrets from him since Daredevil's powers allows him to detect when Bailey lies. Bailey also says he likes being around Peter because he was the only person to have put so much effort into taking care of him.
Why is taking so much for the Storytime of Marvel's comics this week?
I question what’s up that for at least the past month or so it takes forever to storytime the Marvel comics to the point that even A-list heroes like Spider-Man and X-Books can end up coming in days later
No clue. For Spider-Man comics it's been a day late.
I guess we will have to wait until November for what comes next.
I hate the wait.
did anyone read Venom boy debut in Death of venomverse?
I forgot he was debuting today too.
Spider-man issue up on RCO
>RCO
What?
Read Comics Online
I want Spider-Boy to bite me.
Are you me?
The storytime is finally here. Now we can get every detail.
I wonder what this is setting up. We still don't really know why Bailey has a strong psychic connection to Peter, and he is obviously fond of him.
>The reason I picked Peter is...
Everytime Bailey discusses who Peter is to him he keeps getting interrupted.
We also get a cameo of Miles Morales after this page.
Nice ass, Peter.
Peter butt.
Funny how they addressed the big ass shoes
With the mention of school I wonder if Peter will try to enroll him again. It's unfortunate Bailey has to start over though.
I hope it’ll be Normie’s private school so that he and Bailey can buddy up.
Probably
do you think normie and/or dylan will trigger bailey's spider sense? might be interesting if they cross path
Venom can't trigger Peter's spider-sense, but Bailey's does work differently, so maybe he could sense them??
Interesting it seems he has eyes on the back of his head.
Yeah, they're also seen in
under the clonk.
Just the size and quality makes them easy to miss.
Also the wording of the characters make it confusing because both are not counting Bailey's human eyes.
Yeah, if Daredevil phrased it as "He doesn't have eight eyes, but ten extra eyes" in
maybe that would've made more sense. The training part is pretty kino, shame it was a bit short.
I wished the training lasted longer too, but we at least may have the chance of seeing Bailey teaming up with Daredevil later.
So he can look at your face when you're behind him.
Kind of weird. Also Daredevil and Spider-Man can't count then.
Kind of weird since his mask doesn't indicate their presence there
The mask hides the eyes when not in use. I guess the ones on his back don't show up unless he uses them.
Either way I really like the idea of using Bailey to give all the Silver Age villain a chance to shine, it's really smart and I'm surprise this hasn't been done before. It seems like a good way to use all the D-listers as well as give some individuality and uniqueness to Bailey instead of, well, being just a sidekick.
Yeah. Looking forward to the return of the Wall.
I really like the idea of a Spider-Adjacent with a rogues gallery of goofy D-Listers, on top of just being a fun angle it also means that you might not get as much demand for constant escalation or tunnel vision for the same 3-5 villains that "deserve" to be threats.
It feels like something that should've been a normal thing in the industry. I wonder why it isn't a thing anymore.
Lack of imagination maybe?
a little something
i guess it's a continuation from this. the linus and lucy theme hasn't left my head since i drew a thing in the peanuts thread
This is really cute. I really like how you recreated them in the Peanuts style.
Comfy and cute!
cute
adorable
i dont like bailey but im kinda indifferent to him showing up more. dont really wanna see him dump expository dialogue every time tho
This was mostly an introduction.
i know but he's had three appearances now and every time its been a "duhhh pete ive been here da whole time" followed by a wall of text and mentions of reed richards
>Spider-Boy had to sit out fights with Carnage
Damn, no Maximum Carnage 2 cameo then?
I don't know, character-wise, I sort of think Pete's in the right telling him to sit out fights with something like Carnage. Isn't Stegron kind of a threat himself, given his strengths? Yeah they're silly dino-themed villains (alongside Sauron) but Stegron can tank some heavy hits, no? I'm not against the idea, but just thinking either Sauron or Stegron might require more of a team-up. Carnage definitely is too dangerous, an alt universe Dylan was killed here.
To add to your post, Miles once fought Carnage and he got fricked up. I think he even got taken hostage.
Liquid Swords vs Electric Swords
>Liquid swords
At first I thought you were making a Liquid Chris reference but I realized you are talking about the blades Carnage makes while fighting.
Yeah, and his favorite Wu-Tang Clan album.
Carnage comics are too awful. It's just power scaling
Who is looking forward to Bailey's ongoing?
I am.
Somebody mentioned this villainous character (rather derisively) in another thread, but I think Slott really needs to go back to the old Spidey Super Stories issues and have Spider-Boy face some of those goofy comic villains. Can you imagine if Bailey was taking part in a FEAST Easter egg hunt only to have Funny Bunny steal all the eggs?
You could also throw in White Rabbit for kicks.
First time hearing about Funny Bunny. I can see some funny scenarios with her.
What a low level criminal. So she only commits crime once a year?
Easter gets her seriously triggered ever since that bully (who looks like he’s around forty) sat on her egg basket. They don’t even mention that he also took a shit in it.
But as far as D-listers go, Bailey would even be pissed off having to face her.
I think she would be a fun villain. She is definitely one of those villains Peter thought Bailey was able to handle on his own.
I'm waiting for it. I don't really have a good grasp of time anyway so waiting's hardly a problem for me.
I envy you. Time moves too slow for me.
We got an update from Slott that the story of Peter and Bailey will continue also in the new Superior Spider-Man comic.
>The SPIDER-MAN book isn’t ending. It’s more like it’s fissioning into 2 books:
>SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN with Mark Bagley.
>And SPIDER-BOY with Paco Medina.
>Each book is designed to be a good jumping on point for new readers.
>Yet storylines & subplots from SPIDER-MAN will continue.

Paco Medina's art style seems like a really good fit for Spider-Boy.
I just hope Peter ditches the piss yellow Goblin-inspired Spider suit with the arm cysts. That thing has been hideous from the start. Have him go back to his regular red and blues please.
Yeah Paco's art is great. I am looking forward to it. As for the costume I agree. The collar of the outfit is distracting too. Peter needs his old design.
Superior Spider-Boy?
Neat. I was thinking about his bugpack having robot limbs. He can already wallcrawl but they might help defensively even if that might require some extra training time as with his eyes. Swinging with webs still seems like the faster way to move around though.
I do wonder if 'monstering out' acts like a temporary buff but at an increased stamina use. He just gets super tired if he had to fight in that mode for an extended time.
Robot limbs would be a cool upgrade for the bugpack.
