I associated that birth with the end of The Other. My bad.

I'm planning to start reading some Spider-Man comics. I have a couple of stories I'm planning to read. I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick, several sentence review of each.

Spider-Man Blue - Specifically, how does it rank relative to Loeb's work on Batman and Superman
Mark Millar's Spider-Man (Marvel Knights)

Any other recommendations are welcome. Bearing in mind I like a more grounded approach to the stories with a focus on the central characters. I'm not usually big on stories which draw in other characters from the Marvel Universe. I like to keep limit it to just Spider-Man and his supporting cast.

I recently read the weirdly titled Spider-Man by Mark Millar Ultimate Collection, and it was really great. I have been out of the Spider-Man loop for a long time, and this story was a great welcome back collection. It involves a lot of classic Spidey supervillains, while focusing on a few of the best. (Some of the supervillains barely make an appearance, but they technically are part of the story.) The art is absolutely fantastic, and includes a couple issues drawn by Frank Cho, so that was a plus in my book.

No idea where it stands continuity-wise, but I would highly recommend this collection. Have fun!

Q: Why didn't Marvel name that Spider-Man clone Spider-Boy?

Q: How come "Spider-Boy" never got a mini-series?

How did ya feel about this? Is this really how it was suppose to end with Harry behnd everything? It was a good read all in all though.

I believe this was in the JMS run, when Peter was a teacher. I can't quite remember who he was living in but that was around the time I stopped reading JMS. Anyway, he had a new set of friends and they tried to set him up with some girl. I think the girl was dressed in leather and had...er, whips and stuff.

Is this some messed up dream of mine or did this actually happen? If yes, did something come out of it or...? On the note of this "new set of friends" - what happened to them?

Thanks a lot!

Might have something to do with this...

A while back in X-men during the time when Juggernaut was going good, they had an issue where Rhino had been experimented on and had become more Rhino like and less human. Was that ever followed up on again?

Dang, man... I can't believe I had my heart set on an Astonishing Spider-Boy MC2 mini-series! Oh well.

I'm very far behind in Amazing Spider-man (early 600's). I read the story where the Chameleon (disguised as Peter) calls the wheelchair-bound Flash "Puny Flash." You could tell this hurt Flash and I was eager to see what repercussions that would lead to in the friendship between Peter and Flash but I read the next few issues and Flash wasn't in them which was disappointing.

So my questions are:
After that story, what happens to the friendship between the two?
Do they ever address the "Puny Flash" insult?

(Also, issue numbers along with the answers to those questions would be greatly appreciated).

Q: Anyone know when Spider-Man 2099 comics will return?

**MrV** · 02-23-2012, 10:31 AM

During the Other, Peter was reborn in a way.

They said his missing tonsils grew back and all scars and broken bones had been restored. Even his missing eye grew back.

Like with his totem powers we never got a clear answer as to what happened to this because of OMD.

However, we do know The Other and the Ezekiel + Morlun arcs are still in continuity due to the events of Grim Hunt showing Kaine becoming a pseudo-quasi totem Spider, and "Ezekiel's ghost" haunting Peter early on.

So I wonder: What happened to Peter's totem powers? Does Peter still have his tonsils?

My theory is that since The Other still took place the totem powers were only temporary and went away on their own due to the machinations of the mythical web of balance referenced at the end of Spider-Island which gave Peter the option to quit being a hero without ramifications.

The "Other" powers have never been addressed.
