Thread where you can ask various Spider-man related questions

**Mikl C** · 09-01-2007, 10:29 AM

Hey I thought a thread where people could ask questions they don't feel a new topic is necessary for would be nice.
I'm sure all the spidey geniuses on the board will help out.
Maybe Sean could sticky it?

Anyway can someone tell me who wrote and pencilled the Queen arc? It looks like Ramos to me but my reprint magazine never credited anyone.
Thanks!

* One note from the moderator. This thread should be for questions with definitive factual answers. If you want to ask about something subjective (e.g.-what someone thought of a story, or how two stories/ creative runs compare) you should start a new thread, assuming you're unable to find an indication that one exists on the subject.

Ok. Well, I'll give it a shot.

I think what you are calling 'the Queen arc' was actually a 6-issue long Spectacular Spider-Man arc (the 2nd volume, released back in 2003) that were primary divided into 2 arcs that were named 'Under My Skin' (the 1st two issues) and 'Changes' (for the other 4).

All of it was written by Paul Jenkins, but when it comes to art is a bit more trick; Michael Ryan did the art of the first arc, Humberto Ramos took care of the first 2 issues of the second arc and finally Paco Medina did the art on the last 2 issues of the 'Changes' arc.

I was out of the comic reading for awhile when this was going on. I know Ben Reilly(Scarlet Spider) ended up being the real Peter Parker. So what happened to the clone? What issues do I need to get? I have several Scarlet Spider comics but not his demise.

Yeesh, thats a lot of back story to cover. Short version, Norman Osborn masterminded everything and, with Dr Trainer on his side, rigged the results of the test to show that Peter was a clone. It is later revealed in Revelations, which consists of Spec 240, ASM 418, Sensational 11 and Spider-man 75. Ben is killed off in the final part and Norman was revealed to be alive after all these years and the master mind all along in that same issue. Unless you are interested in the whole ins and outs of the Clone Saga, Revelations shoudl be more than enough to fill you in on the final fate of the clone and how the entire story turned out.

I have my own little version to explain this, so allow me to indulge myself …

Theoretically he died in (adjectiveless) 'Spider-Man #75' saving Spidey (yes, the REAL one!) from the Green Goblin. Which to coincide with the return of Peter as Spider-Man (the REAL one, dammit!) actually had the title name altered to 'Peter Parker: Spider-Man' (who, really, was always the REAL one …)

But all and all, Ben was cool. He just wasn't … you know … the REAL one. :p

You can find all Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider apperances in Spider-Man (yeah, the RE--ok. I'll stop.) titles and in his own titles here.

Are questions concerning Ultimate Spider-Man applicable here?

I'm guessing no?

I don't see why not. It's not like there's an Ultimate-related questions thread.

My question: How did Cletus Kasady get the Carnage symbiote back after Venom ate it?

Sure, might as well.

I'm fuzzy on the finer points, but Cletus encountered his current symbiote in the Negative Zone. I think it was a story arc in the short-lived Webspinners series, and Peter wore his "Spider-Man Beyond" outfit from the even-shorter-lived Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon.

Yeah. Basically, Cletus found a new symbiote on another planet.

I'm torn as to whether Marvel should address it.
1. It's got slight potential.
2. It was a shitty obscure story.

Thanks, guys! And I feel sure someone could address that plot point without actually referring to that story by name. Just have someone else visit that planet.

Alright, small question here:

Was the Edward in SM:Reign suppose to be Brock? Reading some summaries like the ones on Wikipedia, it makes it sound like a different character/host.

#1)ok so does anyone know any good comic rumor sights out there that are up to date becides comic-book-resources and news-o-rama (spelling)
