CBR Spider-Man Forum FAQ

**Mister Mets** · 05-18-2009, 09:54 AM

I've been meaning to do this for a while now, inspired by a similar thread in the X-Men forum.

If you have a specific question that can be asked and answered without debate, or wish to correct something I've posted here, please post it in this thread or PM me. If it qualifies as an FAQ it will be added once answered.

If you have a question about subjective manners (IE- what's the best Green Goblin story? Was Ross Andru a good Spider-Man artist?), use the search function to see if any threads exist on those subjects. If no thread exists on this, start one.

Amazing Spider-Man came to an end.... replaced by Superior Spider-Man.

Superior Spider-Man #9 is supposed to feature a major change to the status quo. #10 deals with the fallout.

Superior Spider-Man #11-13 will feature a prison escape involving characters Spidey beat up in the first ten issues.

Issues #14-16 have Superior Spider-Man VS Kingpin and Hobgoblin, as he tries to take over Shadowland. Spidey also gets a new costume.

Superior Spider-Man #17 by Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman has the return of Spider-Man 2099.

Quesada also said there's one more story in the OMD/ OMIT trilogy, but it won't see print for some time.

You can discuss what's coming next in general on a thread devoted to the subject of upcoming stories or covers, or click on the links provided to discuss the individual stories.

Every now and then you guys may notice that some of your comments are no longer in the thread in which you made them. To make navigation a bit easier, I figured I'd have one thread where all major moves would be discussed.

Sometimes I will decide a topic that comes up in a thread (and often threatens to derail it) merits its own thread. Or I may decide that some off-topic posts belong in another thread. Or for whatever reason, I may have to delete an entire thread, and many posts on a subject.

Case in point, a thread about an off-the-record conversation between one poster and writer Mark Millar was deleted at the original poster's request after he realized that he likely misinterpreted Millar.

Check out this thread, updated whenever I or ShaggyB make any significant changes.

Well, there are the other subforums on CBR.

But here on the Spider-Man subforum, we have an off-topic megathread, to discuss whatever you want. It proved so popular that it's now in its second iteration.

In addition, there’s another politics thread, as it's a topic that comes up often enough here.

And a religion and philosophy thread, another topic that also comes up often enough here.

616: Earth-616 or Earth 616 is the name used to identify the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics titles take place. It was a joke by Dave Thorpe in his Captain Britain run, because he thought it was unusual that superhero worlds were always designated with smaller numbers, such as DC's "Earth-1" and "Earth-2." Although it may also be a reference to the number of the Beast (theological scholars debate whether or not it's 616 or 666.) A few critics of the current direction refer to the post "One More Day" Spider-Man as existing in the 666 Universe. due to what they perceive as Spider-Man selling out to Satan.

AMZ or ASM generally refers to the title Amazing Spider-Man. FNSM refers to Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. SSM usually refers to Sensational Spider-Man. MKSM refers to Marvel Knights Spider-Man. USM refers to Ultimate Spider-Man. MASM refers to Marvel Age Spider-Man or Marvel Adventures Spider-Man. MTU refers to Marvel Team Up.

OMD refers to the storyline One More Day. BND refers to Brand New Day, a designation which is usually applied to the post-One More Day title and status quo, although it technically only appeared on the covers of Amazing Spider-Man #546-564. KLH refers to the classic storyline: Kraven's Last Hunt, while KFH can refer to a three issue story which ran in Amazing Spider-Man #565-567. NWTD refers to New Ways to Die, a six issue storyline which ran in Amazing Spider-Man #568-573.

PAD refers to writer Peter Allan David. JMD refers to writer J.M. Dematteis. JMS refers to writer J. Michael Straczynski.
