    Spider-Man

    Character » Spider-Man appears in 17252 issues.

    Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.

    I have some very bad news for all of Pete's fans!

    There is no way in hell they will cancel Peter's books. He is in the Marvel promo art for the post Secret Wars universe. Miles will be A spider-man, Bendis just did that interview to drum up press and get the progressive band wagon jumpers on the new title. Amazing Spider-Man will most likely be relaunched with a more mature Peter who balances Superhero work, With being a CEO with being a family man ( Expecting his marriage and daughter to come over from Secret War)

    But that's not the problem. A lot of people are worried that Miles will overshadow Peter and replace him.

    I hate to say this but it will never happen. Miles Morales is Bendis's pet project it means a lot to him but no matter what Miles is just another Spider-Man, Just like Ben, Miguel or Otto. Peter Parker is THE Spider-Man.

    Also lets just look at sales before Miles book is a good seller but Peter's title which has been heavily criticized for the last 8 years still out sold it by a ton. At the end of the day Marvel is a business and they want press to build hype but they are not dumb enough to sacrifice profit

    @br_havoc: What this gentleman said, There's is only one true Spider-Man and his name is Peter Parker. This just a filler project.

    Fine, since they explicitly said no coloured or homosex people for spiderman films

    Uh, no. They "explicitly said" Peter Parker can't be anything other than a st8 and European (white) male. Spider-Man in the films can be gay and not "white" as long as there is comicbook continuity that has previously established this character i.e. and/or e.g. Miles Morales.

    Anyways, is Morales half Puerto Rican or half Mexican, I remember reading somewhere he was half Mexican but now I keep reading that he's half Puerto Rican. I know probably the same thing to others but for me, it is very important. (+)

    @blackspidey2099: 100% serious. Slott's work is borderline character assassination and is truly some of the worst spider-man stories I have ever read. Would straight up rather Peter be written out of continuity entirely than for Slott to still be writing him.

    No way. I'd rather have Slott write than have nobody write. While he may not write the best Spider-Man stories, they definitely are not the worst. Slott has written some pretty s***tty stories, such as Alpha or the whole Silk thing, but he has written some competent stories as well such as Big Time and Superior Spider-Man.

    Slott has done a few things to the character, such as keeping him locked in a perpetual state of manchildness, but most of the things he's done are things future writers can change really easily.

    I don't want future writers to change anything from Slott's run except the perpetual man child stuff. Spidey is a genius, not a mere photographer or teacher.

    See, that's what's so frustrating about his run. There's lots of interesting ideas going on, but there's a fundamental misunderstanding of Peter that makes his run unreadable to me.

    Yeah, I agree. If JMS or someone with a good understanding of Peter's core character were writing this same plot, I think everyone would love it. However, I am a little scared that a new writer may regress Peter once again.

    Changing things is part of any new writer's modus operandi. If they're not allowed to shake anything up to their satisfaction, the character will remain in a state of stagnation. Peter being a junior Tony Stark bores me and many others to death and takes away from him being an everyman, I find him being a photographer/teacher or forensic scientist (as in Spider-Girl) more relatable

    But don't you find it extremely unbelievable that someone of Peter's intellect, one of the smartest in the world, is stuck being a photographer when he could do so much more?

    Agreed.
    Although I like Slott's work, this volume has been really... Meh. Spider-Verse was pretty awesome, but that was about it.

    I'm more invested in Peter Parker more so than Spider-man, so if Parker's role is minimized I'll be saving my money.

    @strangetales: Renew Your Vows is not with 616 Peter. But you should pick it up for two reasons:

    1. It's decent, especially for Slott. Read some reviews to get a better idea of quality.

    2. If it sells well we have a higher chance of Marvel giving us a family man type Peter Parker.

    No way. I'd rather have Slott write than have nobody write. While he may not write the best Spider-Man stories, they definitely are not the worst.

    Got any more jokes?

    Dan's best work was either eight to seven years ago as part of the BND team, or when he was writing a married Spidey back in the early 2000s (which is the reason RYV is such a hit even with people who don't like his work), Superior is one of the most overrated Spider-Man stories ever and is salvaged only by the great spin-off titles it launched. Everything in the main book was an insult to the readers intelligence as well as the characters intelligence.

    There are far better writers than Dan out there that can save this book, why would you have him rather than nobody? Because you're so used to settling for mediocre storytelling and bad characterization?

    You know, they've attempted to replace Peter before, with a clone of himself named Ben Reilly.

    It didn't work out so well.

    I haven't read anything with Miles in it so I can't judge him to much. However I will say this: Peter definitely hasn't been the Peter i first came to love for a long time. The character was horribly regressed following OMD and then replaced by Doc Ock for longer then I even want to remember. I'd take a fresh slate like Miles over Ock all day/every day. At least Miles doesn't spit in the face of everything Pete stands for.

    Exactly this. Whoever Slott is writing, it's not Peter Parker, so I for one welcome our new Miles as the main Spider-Man stories.

    Well I don't like Bendis as a person and as a writer, and I definitely don't care for Miles. While Marvel has been acting really dumb recently, I don't think it will go down to the point where they will replace their posterboy/Iconic character. I'm sure he will get his own title. If Marvel for some reason replaces Pete I'm done with Marvel..

    I been a long time spider man fan, but there's come a time when the character and story no longer resonate with you. So it is with sad tidings that I guess I'll part ways with the SPider titles, like how Hal Jordan fanboys back in the day dropped GL because of Kyle. I'l drop my the Spiderman title until Peter :Rebirth series. It was a fun ride, but at least there still the marvel cinematic universe.

    No, it is not because I dislike Miles, but he's just doesn't entertain me. It has nothing to do with race or color. I also quit the spider title when the Scarlet Spider took over for a while too. Now is it a good thing what they doing with Miles? Sure. It would bring more black kids to reading spider man and give them something to dream about, they even have their own color coded costume for that unlike the Japanese Spiderman who was just an Asian peter parker.

    I am sure even though I quit the title, there will be 4-5 new reader of hispanic and black descent who would pick up the title. I look forward to ten years from now when they bring peter back and there is a huge argument over who's the better spiderman.

    My only hope is that Miles actually get a good villian gallery and not Peter rehashed ones.
