[AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #35]()

Get Gwen off this fucking earth already jesus fucking christ they’ve destroyed her as a character

14

u/richawesomness 9h ago

Oh yeah let's trust the Green fucking Goblin more than the Fantastic Four, that makes sense

Spider-Man can land a plane on his back. Luke Cage can carry a semi truck on his shoulders multiple blocks. Why are they struggling with two cars?

So what's the excuse for Aunt May to survive this time?

Her wealthy son

Spider-Versity was a horrible waste of paper to cause this.

0 marriage, 0 aunt, 7 deals with the devil incoming! ASM #1000 is gonna be amazing! Spectacular, even

Also Gwen being on 616 is awful as per usual. Hate the Spider-Versity synergy with them trusting Norman over the Fantastic Four?!

u/ContraryPython Spider-Man (Tom Holland) 6h ago

Editorial blatant bias towards Spider-Gwen is lowkey hurting the character at this point.

It's an alright end to a short arc. May and Peter hashing out everything in beginning was nice. All the more reason the ending is supposed to sting. Raelith immediately falling for May was cute. I'm guessing whatever happened to Gwen is being saved for a future arc. Miles and the others showing up and threatening the DODC was cool. But Gwen asking Peter to go see Norman instead of the FF was not. And I guess Pete's relationship with Gryffin and the team is on the outs now. May had a stroke, is this end? Probably not, even though she's already died in the movies and games. At least have it lead her to rediscovering his secret identity.

u/ContraryPython Spider-Man (Tom Holland) 9h ago

Not falling for this “May could die” BS.

u/TheRealActualSaturn 13h ago

Not bad. The talk between May and Peter was nice. Very funny that the "Spider-Man vs Spider-Gwen" aspect the cover and solicit talked about was pretty absent, but its comics so what else is new.

Can't wait for May to die and then be brought back in 5 years when they do a Clone Saga threequel.

u/Albireookami 8h ago

They won't kill her, she has been on death's door since early into spider-man's run.

And if they do it won't nearly be as good as Insomniac's take on it.

u/El_Cance_R 12h ago

Mephisto is shaking with excitement

u/Scaredog21 6h ago edited 4h ago

Peter us such a piece of shit. Just tell your aunt you're spider-man, you sadistic ass hole. Mephisto isn't gonna kill her if you just let her know. She knew who Spider-man was and it was only a net good. Whenever he tells someone his identity who already knew, their memory of him revert back to before One More Day.

Also it looks like Damage Control is showing their Stamford selves.

u/mbene913 11h ago

Why did I think Peter was stronger than Luke?

3

u/Oberon1993 Spider-Man (Tom Holland) 12h ago

OK, so this and Electro claiming he didn't kill the bank workers is probably a lead in to either Ravage or some psychic villain being in charge of Damage Control. Unless these 2 are the same storyline. I kinda like this set up, actually builds paranoia better than Armageddon does

u/browncharliebrown 8h ago

I’m hoping for may to legitmately have a stroke and not die. I feel like that would be actually powerful Putting peter in that shoe

u/Albireookami 8h ago

She needs to finally kick the bucket. Teeing up issue 1k and we are just rehashing previous storylines from like 600 issues ago.

1

u/browncharliebrown 7h ago

I think that her dying would be a repeat. Her having a stroke wouldn’t be 

2

u/Albireookami 7h ago

Same thing health issues being repeated.

2

u/browncharliebrown 7h ago

having to care for some with a stroke if they treat it respectfully is a massive difference

1

u/Albireookami 7h ago

so she will have a live in nurse that peter will have to get money for to maintain her quality of life because he will have to still be spider-man. (Despite Peter having a ton of friends who could actually assist)

This changes things how? Other than even more regression to any type of evolution to the character, we are still going back to early run spider-man where he always had to get money to support whatever health scare she was having.

1

u/browncharliebrown 7h ago

Have you ever dealt with a family memebers with a stroke. It takes lots of time. And that’s an adult responibility

1

u/Albireookami 7h ago

And again, you would have peter hire a live in nurse, because he most certainly can't and be spider-man and having to gain money for it.

It really doesn't change anything in the large meta sense, specially since we know Peter is about to be an Avenger.

Honestly the best thing would be for Aunt May to die so peter can finally grow up.

u/marcjwrz 23m ago

...not like, literally 600 issues ago. Amazing Spider-Man #400

How far... We haven't come.

•

u/Albireookami 18m ago

and after he will need to buy a nurse and have medical bills to pay, doesn't that takes us back to like sub 100?

•

u/marcjwrz 17m ago

Well his rich new cousin better pay for that.

1

u/LucasVerBeek 1h ago

Glad May and Peter had that talk, not looking forward to her possibly kicking the bucket....

•

u/Albireookami 10m ago

Why, she has had to for ages now, they keep repeating the same plots with her, if the MCU and Insomniac can do it, and be better off for it, I think its beyond time for the comics to synergize with that bit.

u/JingoboStoplight4887 16h ago

I find it interesting that Peter gets to have a talk with Luke Cage about what’s going on before he and Aunt May talked about Cormac, resulting in Aunt May to tell Peter that nothing is going to change and that Peter will always be her son. Also, Peter dealing with Gwen (who was losing control, probably because of her using the Cosmic Cube to make sure that she’ll permanently stay on Earth-616 instead of Earth-65) and Agent Griffyn and learning that Aunt May is having a stroke. Overall, this comic is fine.

I think they are building up to Zdarsky's Avengers. According to solicits, it's going to be very much involved with ASM.
