[CBR News]

One of Spider-Man's oldest foes will be at the heart of the 50th Anniversary crossover "Spider-Men" and Brian Michael Bendis discusses making Mysterio terrifying and cool.

Damn it, Mysterio. You need to lay off the mystical dimension-warping tablets. I think you may have a problem.

[CyberHubbs]

I'd actually like to see where he keeps all of his extra fishbowl helmets.

He doesn't have a problem! He doesn't know what you are talking about!

[Mysterio's Helmet]

Here's a newsflash: Mysterio didn't need Bendis to make him cool. Think Slott's got that area covered for now. Thanks for the interest though.

Hooray for Mysterio, well known for having universe-traversal abilities!

Hey, his "problem" seems to be bringing us Venom Classic, so YOU lay off! D:<
[jk, of course. And I like Flash's Venom, but a story with Eddie's Venom is nice once in a while]

Really looking forward to this

So does this mean that this mini-series really is the comic book adaptation of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions?





All kidding aside, having Mysterio as the main bad for the crossover is nice (which, if you think about it, also spoils the outcome of Ends of the Earth somewhat).

[Kevinroc]

What's funny is Dan Slott wrote the script for Shattered Dimensions.

But Mysterio as the big bad doesn't spoil Ends Of The Earth. Unless people expected Mysterio to die. (Did anyone actually expect Mysterio to die in EotE?)

It would be a heck of a swerve. An unnecessary one, certainly...

[ViewtifulJC]

I'd be so hyped for this is Slott was writing it.

[Overhazard]

No, Bendis is.

I didn't think Mysterio was going to die, either. I meant that it looks like he ends up being the last member of the Sinister Six left standing. Which actually makes sense given how he is the "master of illusion." Not to mention it wouldn't surprise me if he betrays Doc Ock towards the end and reveals he was really after Doc Ock's tech or some such.

I don't think it actually says that at all. I think Spider-Men is looking to be a bit more nebulous in its placement in continuity. And Marvel certainly won't admit to such a thing until both projects are over. (We only recently found out the Fear Itself, Children's Crusade, Spider-Island, Schism chronology.)

You're overthinking this.

And not to say Bendis doesn't care about continuity (because he does), but I think he wants Spider-Men to be able to stand on its own so as to not take away from what is happening in the Amazing title.

Venom Classic? Im lost, is Venom getting the same treatment as alot of other charecters and them bunching their old issues together? Ive got all the Deadpool Classics in trade, would love for Venoms.
