I haven't read Spider-man in a long time, but are they going to have atleast one page where Peter shows up in Jonah's office and says "Look I have Spider-powers now!"? It's so obvious and you have to do it which is probably why they won't. It's too good. He just shows up and Jonah could be outraged or slightly amused. How do you not do something like that?

I'm an old Spider-fan though.

I am really excited for the next chapter of Spider-Island and More excited about the Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu Tie-In. Probably the only tie-in im stoked for

I can't wait for the people with Spider-powers to begin mutating into Man-Spiders.

"Spidey has been dealing with those complications for much of his 60 year history" ... Um, try 50 year history.

Looking forward to 668.

Dunno.....but that tease did remind me of the old MTU issue from the 1970's wherenSpideyn"teamed up" with the cast of SNL vs the Silver Samurai!

The Venom tie-in fit in very well. I can't wait to see Flash get more involved!

Of course. It's John Belushi we're talking about.

It seems like there really needs to be a scene or sequence where Peter gets to really cut loose with his "new" spider-powers in front of all his friends. It's really begging to happen, now that I think of it.

I think back to the Captain America comic where Steve Rogers turned in some comic book art samples, and the editor told him it's obvious he had no working knowledge of real combat situations.

So basically, I think Peter would likely get upstaged by his friends with spider-powers.

It's the Parker Luck!

I think that might undercut the message of the story, in that it's about what sets Peter apart from others who share his abilities. If the story implies that other people are better at being Spidey than Spidey himself, I think it would have the effect of making the protagonist look ineffective.
