Does Jessica not count as a Spider-Person?

Spider-Woman has the same kind of relationship to the Spider family as Batwoman has to the Bat family.

The have the name, but they seldom hang out with eachother and don't have many similarities.

Oh what the fuck top of the page? I swear I didn't mean it this time.

 

[TetraxShards]

I know right?? :O

Speaking of cool Marvel books starring female characters that came out last week, can we talk about this cameo in last week's Mockingbird?

It's tooootally Violet

<3

I went to see Suicide Squad. It was alright. 6.5 my scale, maybe an 8 on the IGN scale? I enjoyed it more than I thought I would anyway.

I forgot her. But you are right. Oh man, so many books.

But PsychBat is right. Not sure why she was in Spiderverse, tbh, her powers seem to work completly different...

Why *wouldn't* you want Jessica in your book though?

I'm interested in seeing where Mosaic goes. Interesting power.

Invincible #130

Ooooooooooooo I'm liking this build up.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Just struck me why I though this cover reminded me of something:

I get that it's a homage, but I feel like the modern one misses the point of what it's referencing.

 

[Malyse]

Typical MU six months behind caveat, but I love Silk's book, pre and post SW. There are too many Spider people right now, and eventually I know they'll be culled, but Silk cannot be one of them. Love the writing, love the art.

Y'all are forgetting a lot of Spiders.

Plus Annie May (really marvel?) and Mary Jane are getting in Renew Your Vows.

I have an absurd amount of affection for Spider-Girl.

 

[Serpentine]

Youngblood is coming back, by Chad Bowers and Jim Towe. I've been following Towe in ig for a lil while, so this is rad news. Some of his designs

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I am one of the few people here who dont have a big problem with Jessica, its just that she has no real reason to take part in Spider-Verse. The couple of unique Spiders of 616 like Kaine or Silk have a reason given to the plot and female Spider-Women of the other earths where they replaced Peter or are the people who got bitten.
Pretty sure she wasnt even connected to this "great web" bullshit lore that has been established over the years and never lead into anything.

This said, I dont have a real issue with her taking part in the whole. I am just nitpicking.

Which Spider-Girl though? Anya Corazon or the vastly superior Mayday Parker?

That they didnt had a Miniseries with all Spider-Girls is a big missed opporturnity, too!

I was thinking more of Spider-folks with their own books, but yeah, I did forget Drew and Venom. And I like both of them, too.

Both of them kind of have their niche as well. Venom is a cool Cosmic book that can cross over with the other cosmic books, but doesn't have to.

Jess is completely unique, and she completely keeps her distance from the other Spiders. Actually, as of six months ago, (AKA MU timezone) I believe the only one who has been in her book at all was Gwen for a couple of panels when they were having coffee or whatever. I think Jessica Drew is kind of the Marilyn Munster of the Spider Family. She may have the family name, but she hangs out with the cool kids.

Wasn't that supposed to be Spider-Women?

Or was that just Jess and Gwen?

Anya.

And Cindy.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Marvel seems to let her team up all the time with Gwen and Cindy. Gwens Annual teased another story with all female Spiders, which I think is rather weak.

Venom is coming back to earth with Marvel Now and will be a Villain again. Cant wait.

Also, we forgot Carnage... Yet another book

I meant I would have loved this As part of Spider-Verse

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Is Venom going to be someone other than Flash?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Is Venom going to be someone other than Flash?

I think Brock is getting the Venom-Symbiote back

 

[echoshifting]

Sounds like it =/

I think Brock is getting the Venom-Symbiote back

I fucking hope not

Spoiler

but you're probably right

I'm perfectly okay with Gwen P, Gwen S, and Kamala just cameoing all through the MU.

Also, I'm impressed that they made the most uncomfortable relationship in comics even more uncomfortable.

Spoiler

Jean and Logan was always weird but Teen!Jean and Old Man!Logan feels illegal.

 

[Mitch]

Picked up Snotgirl #2 and the new Blue Beetle. Don't know much about BB, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

Right?! The last time I was this uncomfortable about romantic tension was Tomorrowland.

Superman #4 & #5

It was a bit jarring going from Gleason to Mahnke from 4 to 5. Gleason should've done both issues. Is the novelty of Pre-New52 Supes being in the New 52 wearing off? Nah. Superman continues to be the most interesting Superbook of this year off of that premise alone.

 

[tim1138]

Anya.

I liked Anya as Arane, but I didn't like her Spider-Girl book at all.

Gleason can only due so much, and some panels in #4 already looked rushed as is.

Have Gwen P and Gwen S met yet? I can't imagine they'd enjoy one another's company.

The Rebirth trades are going to be weird with the art changing up like that.

 

[Neoxon]

Doesn't IvX take place in the 8 months before All-New, All Different Marvel started? Or is that Death of X?

Death of X takes place before the start of ANAD Marvel. IvX is a present-day event.

 

[Zombine]

IHoly shit. Did we get fuckin played or did they get mocked into making an actual cover?

For those who don't know what I am talking about, this was the original solicit:

 

[Malyse]

I liked Anya as Arane, but I didn't like her Spider-Girl book at all.

I normally don't pick at people for spelling, but it's a fun coincidence that I just read this yesterday:

Have Gwen P and Gwen S met yet? I can't imagine they'd enjoy one another's company.

Stacy would hate it. Poole would be thrilled but confused because she probably hasn't read any books based on 65.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I take my critic regarding Jessicas involvement in Spider-Verse back.
She is the only Spider who is able to infiltrate Loom World because she is the only Spider who has no point in actually taking part because she is no totem.

Stupid me.

Haha, yeah I posted it a little while ago. That original cover still makes me laugh.

 

[Aceun]

Action Comics had a satisfying enough conclusion even though it did not need to drag on for so many issues. I'll keep reading, but this is one of the weaker books in my pull list.

LOVED Wonder Woman. I almost wish there were two Wonder Woman books instead of one book bouncing back and forth between two stories. That said, I'm enjoying the intrigue as well the supporting cast in the modern storyline.

The new cover looks great! Reminds me of the VHS boxes! Loved Shattered Empire btw.

I think they should bring back Sensation Comics and make a Wonder Family to go with the Bat and Super families. If you plan on making WW the third part of your trinity, make her the third part of your damn trinity then.

Also, Anya should be a supporting character for Jessica.

We're going to get a Harley family before all these lesser heroes get one.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I think it was a variant for one of the early issues. Checchetto's work on Shattered Empire and Obi-Wan & Anakin has been great.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Jessicas Tie-In Issues with the other Girls are amazing!

 

[Malyse]

We're going to get a Harley family before all these lesser heroes get one.

We basically have one.

I would love this!

I was legit the only person hyped for it before you were a regular. You should have seen this place. For some reason they can read the craziest shit but snot is a no go.

Book ain't even about snot. I fucking love it. It's very wholesome and it's pretty LGBT friendly. Book was definitely going in a certain direction before

Spoiler

her almost bae was killed.

Well I've been at work all day so I haven't even bought my comics yet. Gonna read that tonight though.

I haven't read any of my books yet and that's one of them.

I remember when I was the only one who read Low for like 3 issues.
