Scarlet Spider #6 SPOILERS/DISCUSSION

[Billium 3]

Another great issue. I loved all the set-up here. And it wasn't the boring kind, either! I also enjoyed how Aracely wore a blue hoodie in Kaine's pressence, and how it set off to bother him about not being able to live up to Ben's legacy. Nice to see Ana is still a creepy little kid, and who doesn't love ol' Kraven? He sure does love hunting spiders, doesn't he (Peter and recently Flash Thompson in "Venom")?

Kaine getting a tattoo was a bit weird for me. I guess he really wants to be his own man, but like those before me mentioned, it's just gonna compromise things for him later should the sleeve of his outfit get torn. Though he could always take it off in a similar fashion to how Peter tore Sasha Kravinoff's face off in the "Grim Hunt"; that sounds like something Kaine would do, pain or no pain.

Seeing Kaine save Ana without hesitation was a big step for him; he's come a long way since his days as a merc who'd snap someone's neck without batting an eye, not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's always nice to see some good character development.

I'm gonna miss Stegman, but I'm thrilled he's staying on for covers and that Yost will stay on for writing duties (if you're reading this Yost, you rock the hell out of this book and all of your "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" work on the show and tie-in comic; keep it up!).

Disagreeable cover. Housonites cast crop introduced. Scarlet Spider name jokes continue nicely. Tattoo adds to Kaine as individual charcterization. Aracely pigs out but is skimpy on the foreshadowing. Annabelle does Generica concert and saves herself without Kaine. Believable and exciting fight vs Ana. Kaine attempts to seek contrition. Disagreeable identity reveal splash for the readers right after the promise to confess to the priest which most likely did not happen. Not 1 but 4 epilogues for readers to pig out on. Yea, Carpenter family potentially become part of the cast and we are sure to learn how/why Julia changed the costume and get reliable intel about the what/how of The Darkness coming. Very nice art.

All in all a decent issue.

All I can say is I will miss Ryan Stegman's work in this book terribly; he nailed it.

Anyone who loves great steak is against A1 sauce.

Steak is pretty gross and needs A1.

Is that cover a tribute to another cover from the clone saga? Why does it look so familiar? At first glance, I assumed that was the old Kaine standing with the knife, not Ana. Oops.

one of the best issues of this series

[Zombies8MyDingo]

This issue made Scarlet Spider my favourite Marvel series, love the promise of Kaine's quest for redemption for all he's done. Ryan Stegman's art looked amazing with him inking his own work, shame he's left.

This series is starting to go very good. I hope it doesnt fizz out like Deadpool in the end.
But Stegman's art is really what made the book seem to come to life. This and UXF are my fav Marvel reads sans Venom.

the wolves were referenced in issue #1 by the human trafficers.

'IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES' starts in December, 2012. Issues 12-14.

Great issue. It's definitely a 180 switch for Kaine to go from hunting Ben across the American Midwest to calling him "a better man" and worried about having to live up to the legacy of the original Scarlet Spider.

I'm honestly not trying to be know-it-all-ish or argumentative, but I don't think it's all that different. I mean, at the end of Spider-Man: Redemption, Kaine referred to Ben as his brother and someone who saved him "and for that, I will never forget him," as Kaine puts it. I'm glad that they've kept that as part of Kaine's character. Kaine and Ben eventually making peace and considering each other brothers was such a big moment for both of them.

[Dr. Chaos]

Continues to be one of my favorite Marvel titles on the stands.

Venom and Scarlet Spider are killing it right now. Actually enjoying them more than Amazing.

[Maxwell Maniac]

Why Kraven will kill Ana but "not yet"?

[James Hunter]

This issue was a definite A+ for me, I know not everyone will like the art on the last page but I have no problems with it. I have waited 6 issues before daring to say this but I actually think the series is BETTER then AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.

Kaine is just so interesting to read about, to me.

Cheers.

James.

Greetings All,

I have an off topic question. Does anybody have any idea why the Scarlet Spider isn't available by subscription from Marvel?

I am just getting back into comics and ordered 12 issues of amazing this morning; But Scarlet Spider wasn't available. Weird!

I checked Midtown comics, But with shipping costs included that would run 7 bucks an issue. I am not willing to pay that much.
