AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #21

You can call my current syndrome for typing my second Amazing Annual thread in a row "Amazing Spider-Man Annual Fever". I've been chasing like quicksilver for these issues and I had a hard time finding them until my recent happiness (THANK GOD). Amazing Spider-Man 21st Annual in precise and the 18th Annual were my main target, because I always wanted to read about the two main marriage events in the main continuity Spider-Man saga. I'll write my review since I haven't had the opportunity to write my fan review for some issues on the internet. "Married Peter" fans; enjoy.

After Amazing Spider-Man #292 (the one which ended with M.J finally accepting Peter Parkers marriage proposal) comes this issue straight.
Spider-Man wears his black suit (since all of his red and blue suits got destroyed before Web of Spider-Man #18) swinging across town during Electro committing a robbery and his gang members pretend to be his hostages, Spidey interferes and dodges the electric bolts and made him wet to win.

After the victory of the day Spider-Man swung to his apartment, changed and M.J brought some of her stuff (too much for Peter's small Chelsea apartment) to their future small condo. In the planning of making space M.J decided to throw Peters costume shop R&B (from Spider-Man vs. Wolverine, the issue witnessing the death of Ned Leeds by the Foreigner men, and later revealed the orders came from the original Hobgoblin ) but Peter refuses.

Peter in his Aunts home in Queens see an open photo album with images of Gwen Stacy, Peter became heartsick about his old love. Peter and M.J later revealed their plan to their aunts and the elder ladies are so pleased about the news (the real Anna Watson in the comics respects Peter, not the old harpy from Spider-Man: tas who always insult Peter Parker) and they congratulate their young ones.

Peter gives Eugen Thompson the news and asks him to be his best man, during the gangs war Eugene was injured by a pumpkin bomb trying to help spidey, the bomb was thrown by Macendale. In that honor Peter, Eugene, and Harry celebrated Peter's bachelor and convinced him to go on with the wedding after Peter said he might reconsider the marriage. At the same time M.J was having her bachelorette party and some of the guys tried to set her of the marriage (especially a guy named Bruce who gave M.J some gifts to persuade her).

Against all the odds, against all the doubts the two sides had and against the well of Bruce; "Peter Benjamin Parker" and "Mary Jane Watson" attended their wedding late, but the marriage took place.

Peter and MaryJane celebrated their honeymoon using a gift from Bruce (who was trying to brainwash M.J) the details of the happy honeymoon are in Spectacular Spider-Man annual #7.
The newly weds returned to their small Chelsea apartment missing the space and luxury they had in France during their honeymoon.

REVIEW:
David Michelinie proved his mettle in writing Amazing stories, this is one of the best and most memorable issues in the history of Spider-Man. The art is Amazing as well, but the red&blued inside the story didn't look as great as John Romita sr. draws it, but it looks great.

According to spiderfan.org ratings: Solid story, 5 webs

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 18

My favorite era of Marvel comics is the eighties, but that doesn't mean Stan (the man) Lee isn't one of my favorite writers of all time. In his sixties; Stan proved to still have a futile mind with his classic touch of the Golden & Silver ages of comics, a perfect example to prove it is this issues:
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #18 (ANNUAL) 1984

After the long relationship between J.Jonah Jameson and genius inventor Dr. Marla Madison they finally get married. Jonah Jameson invite the staff in the Bugle closest to him to his wedding, he also invites his son John who was upset that the marriage of his father would stand in between his (Father and Son) relationship with his father.

In the office of the esteemed publisher of the Daily Bugle (J.Jonah Jameson) Spider-Man arrives at the window with a bouquet of roses to Mrs. Jameson and congratulates Jonah in a manner that upsets the publisher. (The story occurred after the events of Amazing Spider-Man #258, so it's after M.J's revelation to Peter).

The Scorpion (Mc Gargan) receives the news in prison and he breaks lose of custody and takes his suit to congratulate his worst enemy in his style, Scorpion kidnaps John Jameson and assaults the police station where J.J reports the kidnapping of his son to "Captain Jean DeWolff".

Scorpion hangs "John Jameson" in a mad jacket and hangs him in the sewers to take of to the floor of Jonah Jameson, Spider-Man barges in and saves Marla Madison (the one Scorpion was after to get hard on Jameson) and swings carrying her over a few buildings then releases her to fight Scorpion.

Of course; the Scorpion has to take revenge on Jameson before everything else so he distracts Spider-Man long enough to get back to Dr. Madison. John escaped his custody and tried to save his future stepmother but he got caught with her.

Spider-Man punched Scorpion and fought him valiantly until Scorpion fell hard. Jonah Jameson became happy and went on with his marriage. John accepted the fact that his dad was getting married again and became his fathers "best man". The wedding took place and since then Marla Madison became officially Mrs.Jameson.

REVIEW:
The story earned its place in my treasury collection, Stan Lee once again proved his mettle and stood like a solid rock. The classic writing, the action, the drama and the quips and jokes all exist, every element worked to create Spider-Man as the comics legend we know and enjoy most admirably. Backed up by the art of "Ron Frenz" who by then was following the footsteps of the creative legend "Steve Ditko" gave the story the classic figure.

A very splendid issue, I'm highly pleased I finally had my copy. I always wanted this story for the following reasons:
.Spider-Man
.Written by: Smiley Stan
.The main villain is one of my favorites since I saw (Attack of the Arachnoid, my favorite animated story of Spider-Man for all ages)

Easily deserves 5/5

IF I WROTE SPIDER-MAN

I intend to do some writing jobs for Marvel comics starting with limited series, going up to the Hulk and IronMan, ending up with Spider-Man.

The road to this dream is hard, everyone has to work hard, and I admit I have to work hard to write right. Why do I have the intentions to write about Spider-Man in exact? There are two major reasons:

1. Spider-Man is my all times favorite comic book character: Seconded by Batman, Hulk, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Beast, Iceman, Daredevil and Johnny Storm the Human Torch.

2. I want to work to fix at least a little of what Marvel has broken: I don't know the possibility of this, but they seriously should let someone get back to write the true Spider-Man, the experienced Spider-Man, not some semi-joker who can't catch a thief right (if he caught one).

In the classic Stan Lee and Steve Ditko version Spider-Man started as a teenager, if a thief escaped it was only because Spider-Man was to busy punching the rest of his gang and trying not separate their heads from their shoulders, he never wasted webbings on yoyo's who didn't get to connect to the other end of the web before Spider-Man shoots too many web lines.

How can Stan Lee accept the way his most succeful creation ends down the drain? I admit I enjoyed the stories of the current idiot, but it hurts to see Spider-Man falls hard from between the hands of his fans.

Sure hope Marvel would read this after they finish reading the millions of letters and thousands of websites insulting this new version and reconsider their intent to keep him this way.

NO TITLE

I love "Resident Evil" games, especially RE2&3(the only Resident Evil games I played actually, but I saw most of the rest of the RE series). After seeing how "Spider-Man Unlimited" was released, now a game of "Mortal Kombat vs. DC" is about to be released, I think my idea of a game have a possibility to be released (I didn't say it will never be rejected), a game of "Spider-Man in Resident Evil"

1st Version: Spider-Man is sent by the "Daily Bugle" to take pictures of the whole city and its status, and Spider-Man leaves a little distance of around two miles before the city blows up.

2nd Version: Peter Parker got a college scholarship to "Racoon City University" and he works for Umbrella to train his science abilities and gain further experience, and he there becomes "Spider-Man". Also he leaves for a few miles before the city blows up.

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ANIMATED 2nd POST

So far 10 or 11 weeks has passed since the beginning of this newly made and released animated series, a strong start and so far the show proved powerful.

At first I wasn't in the mood to watch it because the 2 new animated series released after "Spider-Man the animated series" weren't highly well made (MTV's CGI series are definitely much better than Unlimited). But after seeing the first and second episode I thought otherwise: The new series rocks, to see further season's of it is more worthy of watching an upcoming anonymous series written by writers I don't know the quality of their writings and a director with uncertain sense of direction.

Currently I'm enjoying season 1 and I'll post reviews on it after the season ends, I might open a new blog specified for the purpose of reviewing the series solely, each post reviewing an episode of the show and I might as well attach the trailer of each episode if not uploading just images.

THE FILMS 1-3

SPIDER-MAN: THE MOVIE:

The first powerful flick on Spider-Man, actually it was the first Spider-Man flick with an original popular and powerful Super-Villain: The Original "Green Goblin"
A bold move it was to start with Spider-Man's most formidable and dangerous enemy.

Peter Parker the shy & timid high school senior student follows the bus on feet to have a ride with no one liking him or allowing him to have a seat with him, with only M.J Watson nice to him but she goes steady with Flash.
Like the Ultimate universe Harry is Peter's friend but he isn't as loved by big shots as in the comics. Peter meets Norman Osbourn before the field subject of the trip begins.

Taking photos of M.J inside he got bitten by the spider that escaped containment.

Had great powers he decided to get money to buy a car and impress M.J with it. Peter went wrestling and won but later lost big because his action to have revenge on the Arena manager after being robbed the same burglar shot his uncle and that gave Peter a hard lesson of responsibility.

The Goblin had fearsome fights with the wall crawler and decided he is dangerous for a foe and must be allied with, but Spider-Man rejected his offer which made G.G discover accidentally learned that Spider-Man is Peter but that killed him and made Harry seek revenge on Spider-Man after seeing him placing the dead and wounded body of his Father.

Rating: 9.5/10
Very well made movie, it lost half a point because Norman was drinking something with the color of urine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPIDER-MAN 2:

2 years have past since the death of Norman Osbourn. Peter got fired from a pizza place because he's always late, Mary Jane is an actress who dates John Jameson, Harry Osbourn is the head of Oscorp and still seeking revenge on Spider-Man but still counting Peter as his brother like friend.

In the 1st Peter got fired from a job by Dr. Connors because he never shows up on time, but the good doctor didn't make an appearance. Here Peter got late for class and his teacher "Curt Connors" warning Petr that he''ll be failed if he didn't send his fusion article to Dr. Connors.

Since Harry Osbourn sponsored Dr. Octopus's program and Peter was attempting to write his thesis on Dr. Octavius (a good friend of Connors in this film) he took the chance to meet him personally before the accident that turned Otto Octavius to the diabolical Doctor Octopus.

Because of his issues of thinking about his life he temporarily lost his powers, but he retrieved them after Octavius kidnapped M.J. so he can deliver Spider-Man to Harry in exchange of the tritium 90 to restart his experiment. Spider-Man's true face was figured by Harry who decided to have truce with Spider-Man before finding his father's secret.

Rating: 9/10
To me; this film is much better than the first one but there was just too much alcohol compared to the first one, Peter even grabbed himself a glass.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPIDER-MAN 3:

Peter managed to handle and balance his life:
.People Love Spider-Man.
.He's in Top of His Class.
.M.J. Loves him and he decided to marry her.

Peter Parkers Venomized side is really well done, it's just too funny to pass, except during his fight with Harry (a good scene) and his interaction with MJ (another good scene)

This movie was really boring so writing a review about it will bore me as well.

Generally Rating it: 5/10
Not because of Venom, there is so little Spider-Man. And his life scenes aren't that interesting as they are in the comics.
Sandman is nice: I know he temporarily reformed and helped Spider-Man in some occasions but here he was redicioulisly the thug who originally killed Ben Parker, and because Captain George Stacy found that out recently and told Peter and his aunt about it Peter had bad dreams and got really pissed off that his new suit possessed him.

THE GOBLIN IS BACK

HI Marvellete's and a big Hello to the spidey fans. I bet you miss classic Spider-Man villains since the events of "Brand New Day", Your wish is coming true.

Guess who returns to the Spider-Man series in "Amazing Spider-Man". I can give you a clue that he is a goblin, and he'll appear back in comics 10 issues from the current "Amazing Spider-Man #558" with one of the covers by "Alex Ross".

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #246


One of my many favorite issues of "The Amazing Spider-Man". Done by the great "Roger Stern" and the Fabuolos "John Romita jr".

Titled "Daydreamers"; the issue shows the fantasies of four main characters as told by "The Watcher":

1. The Black Cat "Felecia Hardy".

2. Jolly "J. Jonah Jameson" (as shown on the cover of the issue).

3. Mary Jane Watson.

4. Peter Parker as Spider-Man.

There are absolutely no villains here if you don't consider some cameos in one or some of the characters dream(s).

This is the story review in a very very summarized way. I can handle the review of the story but story reviewers might not like the idea of someone reviewing an issue in a blog when there are various comic reviewing sites.

SOLO SPIDER-MAN ANIMATED SERIES: 1981

This show is clearly one of my many favorite Marvel animated shows, especially in the Spider-Man buisness. It's called cheesy but it got close enough to the comics with adding a few outer villains (5 actually: Gadgeteer, StuntMan, Professor Gizmo(sort of a Mindell Stromm ripoff, why didn't they use Mindell Stromm? Who wants vengeance in a cartoon in the era when cartoons are meant to be fun), a cowboy titled as SideWinder & Nephilia(who isn't actually a villain, but Penny is who pretended to love him)).

Art style is based on the fantastic art of the legendary "John Romita sr." and the animation is actually quite well done, though the characters run in a funny way and sometimes Spider-Man crawls wall in a funny way.

The most significant villain in this show isn't the "Green Goblin" nor "Doc Ock", actually the arch nemesis of Spider-Man in this show is "Victor Von Dom"/"Dr.Doom". Doctor Doom had the most memorable animated appearance in this animated series especially in his arc titled "Doctor Doom: Master of the world". The story of the good doctor was supposed to be a movie then was decided to be a mini series shown in Europe according to writer "Larry Parr".

The reasons for me to adore this show are as following:
1. I'm a big fan of Spider-Man.
2. I love the fantastic art of "The Amazing John Romita sr."
3. 80's American animated series are great, they have very great stories and art
4. Through this animated series alongside "Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends" I recognised and loved Spider-Man.
5. The more I read about Spider-Man the more connection I find between this Peter Parker and Marvel Comics Peter Parker, so I grow more fond of it.
6. Some people go against this reason, but I have to say it: Not so much romance complicating stuff beside the thing with Peter's first love interest "Betty Brant"

Before knowing about MJ in the comics and the movie I used to think: "Why does she exist?" but I really grew fond of her character and her role as a supporting cast member, yet I'm very pleased to see that show free from her.

Some people think that the villains here were actually lowered down, I say after going deep in the comics: Only "The Lizard" and 'Magneto" weren't that loyal to the comics, though the Lizard was actually very close except the fact that he doesn't have his alter ego "Dr. Curtis Connors".

SPIDER-MAN ADVENTURES: COMICS BASED ON SPIDER-MAN THE ANIMATED SERIES

SEASON 1:

These series are based on the first season of Spider-Man animated series of the 1990's, the first season was as groovy as the series earlier to it and the new Spectacular animated series, the animated series were based on comics and I loved much of it before season 5.

I only read 3 issues of "Spider-Man Adventures" so far and they are really boring, the reason isn't because I hate comics, "I actually love the comics in the mainstream", but these issues are a complete horror.

Look at the following pages and tell me wether you agree with me or not:

From episode1 (Night of The Lizard):























He remembers the experiment while in the Bugle
and all of a sudden his dear aunt May calls him there.

Not exactly what you can call boring, but this stuff stiffed me from boredom I almost slept while reading this, though I hardly read the words.

The first meeting between Peter and the Lizard, they have a weak fight.

























Now seriously, Where
is the terrified Eddie Brock who faces the Lizard.

Not the Lizard fighting Spider-Man who got out to save Brock and gets shocked to see the Lizard is real, not my kind of comics.

Sure: You'll defeat your deadly enemy by showing him the image of him and his family. Why is Billy in the sewers?


From Episode 8 (The Alien Costume pt.1):
























Rhino outside the shuttle "VICTORY" Peter's Dream is ridiculous


Why is Spider-Man tossing police cars instead of tossing people who are attacking him in self defense? And he didn't wake up hanging upside down.

From Episode 9 (The Alien Costume pt.2):























No pun intended, but where are the security crew?
Spider-Man broke the table in two half's, and left just like that?
Why didn't Dr. Connor's get frightened because a wanted man enters his office?











No screams, no shouts, not a frightened Shocker escaping after an angry Spider-Man removed the very heavy rubble off of himself. No screams from a scary Spider-Man. Eddie didn't push Spider-Man. Not my kind of Spider-Man stories at all.










Now you be the judge. Am I right for hating these comics or what?

MY SPIDER-MAN COMIC BASED DRAWINGS

These are all my drawings currently:




#This one is the logo of "THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN" comics back in the late 80's and the early 90's.








I loved drawing this one, this is the pose of Spider-Man after being punched by the Molten-Man after seeing each other in Amazing Spider-Man #132 "The plan of the Molten-Man"







#SKETCHES BASED ON J.B's (John Byrne) CHAPTER1



This sketch is drawn based on Spider-Man punching the Hulk in the story titled: "Green Death In The Desert". That story starts with a rehash on the "Amazing Spider-Man #013" when Spider-Man defeats Mysterio, then Norman Osbourn offers him a job in a movie, the remaining parts are based on "Amazing Spider-Man #014" but no enforcers are in that issue









This is when Spider-Man was about to get creamed by the Hulk in that story





#FROM THE BOOK OF MARVEL UNIVERSE:



This sketch is based on Spider-Man in his chapter opening in the book that talks about Marvel Universe by Peter Sanderson. Spider-Man is the only character who has his own chapter in that book.

The picture is of a copy of the original drawing. This is the only sketch I colored from all the ones I did.








This one is my personal favorite, I had quite a hard time drawing it five year before now but it was worthy of my time and effort, this sketch is based on one of the Romita's drawing that was placed on the cover of the book.
This character is the only colored character on the cover.

THE BLACK SUIT

#MAINSTREAM COMICS:

1st FIGURE TOPPING SPIDER-MAN:

The alien costume that Spider-Man had in a device that he thought is supposed to fix ripped up costumes, the device instead putted a black blob that made his "Spider-Sense" tingle but the suit grew too quickly on him to react. First appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #252, origin and gained in Secret Wars #08 mini series on the Beyonder's planet, Reed Richards wanted to test that new suit of Spider-Man's. In the exact same month Amazing Spider-Man #258 was released, Spider-Man went to Reed Richards and had the suit examined because it made him sleep for too long.

After Reed Richards (a.k.a: Mr. Fantastic)* examinations have ended he revealed to Spider-Man that his new magical suit is actually a living being that is bonding slowly until it takes complete control over him, now that Spider-Man knew that fact he couldn't have taken it off without the help of Reed's sonic blaster that Mr. Fantastic used to direct the living suit to a container powerful enough to seal the beast. A device snook in the FF headquarters and made a whole for the substance to escape.

After the substance escaped it roamed the alleys to head back for its first victim -a man from Indiana who visited the place as a challenge to people who say New York alleys are dangerous- the symbiote blocked his mind while on him using him to reach Peter Parker's apartment because by itself, the alien can't move fast enough. The alien left the man with him not remembering anything after changing alleys and believed how dangerous the place is.


The alien got in Peters closet and disguised itself as a Red & Blue Spider-Man suit. When Pete decided to go out he wanted to take a real suit but the alien jumped to his hand, Spider-Man wore it and found it to be comfortable before he sees its true form in the mirror, the alien tricked the hero to wearing it so he could take control over his original host. A long struggle happened between the alien and Spider-Man until he got rid of it and of a vulturion who was fighting him alone by a church bell, the alien left its hosts body for good.


2nd FIGURE:

After his return from the Beyonder's planet he went to his aunt's home and saw a Black Cat which was looking for him, at first cat got confused and didn't trust her boyfriend thinking he was an impostor. Black Cat gained high admiration for the look of Spidey in black that she got upset when he started wearing his classic uniform again, to put Spider-Man in good light's from her point of view she sew the black costume and showed it to the Spectacular Arachnid.

Thinking that the alien was in her hands Spider-Man told her that this is dangerous and she should get rid of it, Cat giggled and called him silly before stating that she loved how he looked in the alien saw she sewed (P.P.T.S.S.P #099) a suit in the same figure the alien took on him. Spier-Man declined at first because of its look, but he wore it in Amazing Spider-Man #263 after his red n' blue got soaked for a long time.

Peter used to switch between suits depending on his mood until he lost his last Rn'B suit in Web of Spider-Man #018, after that time he kept wearing the black suit until he returned to his new home after his first fight with Venom, Peter burnt the suit he was wearing because it reminded M.J. of her fright of Venom, she didn't want to get confused because of it. This might have been the last time Spider-Man wore this suit in comics before exposing his face, becoming a fugitive after turning against Stark and the registration act, and KingPin sending a hit man to shoot Peter but instead shot May Parker. After leaving KingPin in critical condition he started wearing his Rn'B suit again.
____________________________________________________________________

#WHAT IF COMICS:

Spider-Man wore the alien in the issue titled: What if the Symbiote Has Possesed Spider-Man. In that story Spider-Man gets old too soon because of what the alien did to him by sucking his adrenaline. The suit first jumped to the Hulk and eventually cured him of his Hulkness before jumping on Thor. This facinating story is sketched by master artist "Mark Bagley". This story is worthy to spend time and money on it.

The Black Cloth was on Spider-Man in three issues:
1. What If: Punisher Became VENOM
2. What if: Spider-Man & Mary Jane never got married
3. What if: Kraven Killed Spider-Man
_____________________________________________________________________

#ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN:

After Peter and MJ broke up, Peter was in the basement of his house in his underwear and discovered some memoreables left to him by his late father, there were many tapes and Peter took one of them. May saw the video with her nephew (he really is May's nephew in the Ultimate, she's the sister of Peter's late mother)
and told him that the people he didn't recognise are the Brocks, Eddie Brock sr. was Richard Parkers partnr before they die in a plane crash and Eddie Brock jr. was Peter's childhood friend. Peter located Brock by the internet and called him, reminding Edward of the good old childhood. Peter had a reunion with Eddie Brock jr. in E.S.U. and handed him a copy of the tape he was watching.

In the university's science building Eddie showed Peter his locker, and viewed to him their common inheretance: "A Protoplasmic Goo that is supposed to Cure Cancer and gives the one wearing it greater strength". Eddie's grandfather kept it because it was belonging to his son (Eddie sr.). The substance was frozen for long and Eddie jr. brought it to the university for Dr. Connors (his genius professor) so they can study it.

The next day Brock took Peter out of school in the car he inerited from his father and Gwen went with them, they went to a mall and Peter asked if his friend thinks that their parents were murdered in the plane crash that killed them (unfortunately I don't recall what happened next). Edward told Peter & Gwen about a concert if they're interested to see, peter passes and in his house he sees a tape that reveals the betrayal of Bullivard Trask to Richard & Edward sr.

An angry Peter heads to E.S.U as Spider-Man, sneaks in and opens the locker of his friend to take a sample of the suit to study it. Unmasked and not wearing his gloves while taking the sample to study, a drop of the suit falls on Peters hand and triggers his Spider-Sense, that drop spreaded quickly on him and covered him in a rock solid crystalised material. Peter broke out of it to see he got in a black suit like his 616 counterpart got on the Beyonders Planet.

The Amazing Spider-Man went to a spin, he felt new strength and power greater than his own. Spider-Man stopped some thugs, people who kindapped a rockstar, Shocker who didn't hurt Spider-Man by his vibro shock powers, and a thug that reminded him of the murederer of his uncle Ben. The figure of the thug triggered aggression and the suit became Venom, Spider-Man almost strangled the culprit to death if he didn't get control on himself.

Peter went to a livewire to get rid of the suit, he unfortunately fell naked, he fell right next to the graves of his family. Brock saw Spider-Man in black on the news and went to check on the suit sample because of his suspiciouns, he found Peter destroying the suit samples and that he is truly Spider-Man. This is why Eddie became Venom using a sample Peter didn't know about (his bro, as Brock calls parker in the new Spctacular series)

_______________________________________________________________________

#MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN:

After a duel with Rocket Racer, Stiltman and a third villain from the funnies in MASP021 Spider-Man learned they all had their gizmo's from the terrible tinkerer, Spider-Man went there and had a second encounter with the funnies in the tinkerer headquarter that made him fall on a container holding some black technical nanosuit, Peter thought it was made by the Tinkerer.

Wearing that suit for a while was OK, Spider-Man had an encounter with the Sand-Man while wearing that suit in a clothes store. To fight Sand-Man Peter changed in a changing room that was surveillanced and a security guard was going to sell the recording of Spider-Man changing if not for Peter saving him.

In Marvel Adventures Spider-Man 024 Spider-Man was bugging a guy named Eddie Brock. Peter Started feeling weird in his suit that he went to Mr. Fantastic for a check and discovered it was a symbiote that was trying to take over him. Mr. Fantastic took the suit off of Spider-Man and locked it in a container that the Torch opened later to see how it looks on him and flamed on to dicover that the alien hates ______________________________________________________________________

#SPIDER-MAN THE ANIMATED SERIES:

In "The Alien Costume" Peter, Robbie, Jonah and KingPin see John Jameson and the other shuttle pilot in a mission while returning from the moon after the new isotope Colonel.Jameson found there and pulled out caused a disturbance on the moon surface, the Anchorman talked about the initial tests done on the isotope in the shuttle and how they proved the isotope (Promethium-X) can generate heat. Wilson Fisk sent the Rhino to the George Washington Bridge duo to Smythes calculations regarding the direction of the falling shuttle to steal the Promethium.

After the shuttle fell Spider-Man went to save the pilots and got shocked to see the shuttles door ripped off. In the shuttle Spider-Man fought the Rhino who had to leave by order of the KingPin and Spider-Man took the pilots out. Eddie Brock took shots of what happened out of the shuttle and convinced Jonah Jameson that Spider-Man stole something from the shuttle that was announced in the news to be Promethium-X.

Spider-Man took the costume and threw it in the basket with sorrow after seeing the news declaring him being a thief and $1m a reward offered by Jameson to the capture of Spider-Man. Peter slept and the goo that sticked to his suit from the shuttle moved right over him. Peter had a dream of a fight on him between his suit and the goo till the goo won and swallowed him to wake seeing himself upside down clanged to a side of a building in a black suit he never saw before.

Two cops in a chopper went to get him after figuring out who this weirdo on the side of the wall is and the suit started escaping getting Parker startled of how the suit moves and of its powers: Jumping much higher than usual, webbing shooting on its own and how when the people on the ground attacked him the suit moved throwing them until he agreed with the suit and got away. Testing his new strength Peter pulled up a heavy fire engine then hid and let the symbiote form as an officer uniform to trick the cops away from him and decided to keep it.

Went to college happily he turned the alien to a gray suit, Felicia Hardy saw him and git surprised to how Peter changed until she got scared how he held Flash with anger.

After an unpleasant talk with his Aunt May during dinner Peter withdrew to his room suddenly hearing the signal from the spider tracer he implanted on Rhino in the shuttle and had a fight with him in a prison. After getting Rhino defeated and terrified Spider-man left with fright in his heart.

In the next day Spider-Man had a fight with a group of bounty hunters who almost defeated him with the sonic blaster before the suit escapes, Peter got back up and made the group runaway disassembled.

In Jameson's office Spider-Man confront his accusers and tells them about the Rhino angrily, Jameson presses the security button under his desk and Spider-Man holds him to call of the reward but he escapes from the guards who came in to shoot him.

In Curt Connors lab: Dr Connors felt frightened by the entry of a wanted man to his office (he'd never reacted this way in the comics), Spider-Man had to twist Connors arm for help (a figure of speech). Connor revealed that the suit is alive and it wants to take over its host so he advises Spider-Man to get rid of it.

Before getting it off, Spider-Man had two duels with the Shocker then took the Promethium-X and studied it.

Spider-Man went to help Jameson save his son after Jameson announced his desperate need for him after John was kidnapped from the hospital by Shocker. Spider-Man and Smythe swapped John Jameson for the Promethium-X (later revealed by Smythe that its heat power lasts only for days) in an old church, the Jameson's left the building and Shocker started a battle.

Eddie Brock decided to pay Spider-Man a debt (the black Spider-Man made him lose his job, Eddie followed Jameson to the abandoned Church) but was unable to do so because Shocker wants to get him by orders of KingPin, unfortunately for Shocker; he had to escape. Spider-Man almost killed the Shocker until he regained control, the suit pushed Shocker & Spider-Man saved him.

The Bell started ringing, the suit was in pain and because of its bond with Peter; Peter felt the pain of the alien and got rid of it.

SPIDER-MAN: THE NEW STATUS QUO


Harry Osbourn hates Spider-Man: This is how Harry felt about Spider-Man when he was under the effect of drugs and he thought Spider-Man killed his papa (no pun intended) & after the illusion ghost of Norman Osbourn the second (Harold's father) and the ghost of Spider-Man not wearing his mask after Norman Osbourn the third (Harold & Liz son) was around four years old, Harry never really hated Spider-Man. How the heck did Harry hate Spider-Man all of a sudden.

Peter Parker is not married: We all know how that happened, or at least most of us Spider-Man readers.

Spider-Man is wearing mechanical "Web-Shooters": What did they do to his "Organic Web-Shooters"? How did they magically disappeared?

Peter Parker lives in the house of his old aunt: When did he leave his Chelsea apartment?

Harry Osbourn Wears an earing: Since when?

Harry & Liz divorced?: What happened to their marriage?
As a matter of fact: What exactly happened to Liz Allen Osbourn?

No person on Earth knows the relation between Peter & Spider-Man: What happened to Norman Osbourn? Venom? The symbiote? Anyone has an answer?

MARVEL COMICS OWNS SPIDER-MAN READERS PLENTY OF EXPLANATION. DON'T YOU AGREE!!!

THE DAILY BUGLE

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT NEWSPAPER IN MARVEL UNIVERSE:

Unlike the Daily-Globe, this journalistic building and the crew working in it has entered significantly the other titles especially in DareDevil comics, the most significant Bugle investigative reporter Ben Urich who discovered the secret identity of the masked vigilante by hearing Katherine Paige yelling his name while he is fighting the Hulk in the streets of New York.

The Daily Bugle used to be a newspaper under the management of a guy who gave J.Jonah Jameson a chance to prove himself as a journalist who is against corruption in the country. The details are explored in Web of SPIDER-MAN #052. Out of that issue in the stories of the first appearances of Namor and the original robotic Human Torch Jonah Jameson appeared as a journalist and disapproved on the super powered beings loose in the street's.

Jameson managed to be rich enough to by the "Daily-Bugle" building, as he grew super humans appeared such as the one he despises the most: "The Spectacular Spider-Man". As the Bugle's editor in chief he used his power to get rid of Spider-Man so he would prevent the city to be victimized by the menacing of a new super powered vigilante since he found out that Spider-Man captured the burglar who captured some guy from Queens (as he thinks of Ben Parker). When Peter knew there was a reward for a clear pictures of the Vulture and Spider-Man he decided to have fun with the one guy who keeps sweeping the ground with Spider-Man's reputation.

Since this is an article dedicated to the Daily Bugle, I should write about this building:

1. The first figure of the building, ever since the first time Jonah worked for it, then owned it,
later was bought by Thomas Firehart (Puma) to pay a dept of honor to Spider-Man and sold
back to Jameson with the amount of one dollar. Later after Norman Osbourn returned to life
he bought the Bugle by force but bombed it later while having a fight with Spider-Man in the
"Final Chapter" arc fourth part. Spider-Man supported the building by being in the position of
the falling beam until he placed it back and supported the building by his webbing.

2. After the reconstruction of the building because it had a highly damaged profile in "The Final Chapter" arc, it looked as previewed above. I got this shot from the first Spider-Man 3d video game.

3. The building had a different construction in the Ultimate universe from the rest.

4. This is the figure of the building used as the "Daily Bugle" in the Spider-Man movie. The same
figure is drawn for the building in Spectacular Spider-Man animated series.

SPIDER SLAYERS JAMESON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR

1. THE SCORPION: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #020:
Recieved an ad for a scientist expert of animal mutations to be pulished, J.Jonah Jameson threw the ad in the trash thinking it's not something worthy of publisising. After throwing the advertise Jonah was thinking of a way to rid the world of the menace in his eyes called Spider-Man he suddenly had the idea to take a raincheck on that scientist.
A private investigator named Mc Gargan was hired by Jameson in issue 019 to see how Peter manages to get exclusive clear shots of the wall crawling menace. In issue 020 he entered Jamesons office to inform him that he couldn't have found any way to reason Peter's shots of Spider-Man. Jameson was pleased at the sight of Gargan to take him to professor Farley Stilwill for the mutation to make Gargan a powerful enemy that can destroy the menace of Spider-Man, for the proper operation Jameson paid each of the two 10,000.
The process was a success, Gargan grew bigger muscles and wore the suit Stilwill built for him to battle Spider-Man. So Jameson took his new hero to a side to tackle Spider-Man while Jameson is in his office tricking Spidey to be tackled by Scorpion, Spider-Man is too wise for Jameson so he left his office quickly to be tackled and defeated by the Scorpion who became a menace because he has strengthened farther. Spider-Man tackled him twice more and won in Jamesons office when Scorpion wanted to kill his creator. Spider-Man got Injured badly and Jameson credited himself for the defeat of Scorpion and thought to himself that Spider-Man is now far more dangerous than he had anticipated originally.

2. THE FIRST ROBOTIC SPIDER-SLAYER: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #025:
Inspired by Jonah Jameson's editorials against Spider-Man; Spencer Smythe built a robot that
can track the spider abilities in Spider-Man, to prove the well functioning of his spider-seeker Peter held the jar of spider under command of Jameson because Pete wanted to have a laugh on Jonah. The tin foils instead of wrapping the spider jar wrapped Peter because he has stronger spider vibes than the little spider. Spider-Man ruined that Spider-Slayer and Jameson told Smythe to get away from him.
This little event led Spencer to make more spider-slayers, then he later became a criminal who kidnapped John Jameson from the health facility he was kept in to get cured from a sickness that happened to him because of the moonstone to use the Man-Wolf against Jonah Jameson and Spider-Man. Jameson not knowing that Smythe kidnapped his son went to him to build a new spider slayer that managed to capture Spider-Man and attach a bomb to both their wrists that would blow in 24 hours, Spencer died before the end of the period because he was poisoned because of building so many Spider-Slayers in so many years.
This led to many years later the approach of Aliaster Smythe to step in his father shoes in building Spider-Slayers starting from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #19. One of his Spider-Slayers was himself in a robotic exoskeleton.

3. THE HUMAN FLY: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #10:
Professor Harlan Stilwill, the late brother of the late professor Farley Stilwill had J.Jonah
Jameson paying him to build another biological weapon to be more powerful than Spider-Man. When Harlan needed a man to be the project an escaped convict ran in the lab and forced them to have the powers. He had the powers successfully, killed Harlan and took Jonah as his hostage. Once more Spider-Man went to save Jameson from a new menace made (thanks to the fearless publisher) but he failed. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents got the fly.
"The Human Fly" kept being a reoccurring menace until he died by a shot by a gangster in Amazing Spider-Man 278 when Spider-Man was chasing the mysterious Hob-Goblin.

4. MARLA MADISON's SPIDER-SLAYER: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #167:
In Amazing Spider-Man #159 Jonah Jameson went to E.S.U.'s robotic labs to meet Dr. Marla Madison who went to work in E.S.U because of the lack of challenges she can find. Jonah offered her the chance to take the challenge of building a Spider-Slayer that can capture Spider-Man. She completed the devise and Jameson put it to a test drive before releasing it against his so long despised enemy; Spider-Man.
Spider-Man managed to disable it as he did to all the other Spider-Slayers before it. The public learned Jonah's responsibility in this mess and he was exposed in his rival News Paper: "The Daily Globe"

The most ironic thing is that with all the menacing Jonah Jameson is responsible for he still calls Spider-Man a menace. Go figure.

HUGE MILLENIUM FOR THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

These first ten years in the new millennium were huge for Marvel in total, specially for there flagship character: PETER PARKER; THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN. So many changes and great things happened for spidey, unfortunately there are also bad things that happened, huge failures.

In mainstream comics:

Amazing Spider-Man

Peter thought he lost his wife in a plane crash after two years of his character rebooting and swinging back in action, Mary Jane didn't die and separated from her husband moving to HollyWood. Peter had serious issues regarding the situation; lack of money and having a hard time to get a good apartment.

Screenplay writer "Joe Michael Straczynski" came in the Marvel board in an exclusive contract and wrote incredible stories after MJ left Peter starting by the introduction of Ezekiel Simms who came to warn Peter of a grave danger that is after him to absorb his pure totemestic energy. Before Peter faced his nightmare he had a job as a science teacher in his old high school: "Midtown High School".

Spider-Man and Morlun had a huge fight after Spider-Man saw the Carnage he was making in the city, the fight lasted over a day. After the death of Morlun Spider-Man went to Ezekiel corporation to see how things are with the death of the CEO who was actually still alive and Spidey got thrilled to know the truth.

May Parker knew her late husband's nephew long time dark secret and confronted him with it, she accepted the fact that her beloved son like man is the man she used to fear highly and changed her view about his alter ego. She decided to help enhance Peter's alter ego public image by trying to change Iron Lungs Jameson to change his thoughts on Spider-Man without giving away his secret.

Peter went to LA with his Aunt May to see his wife who was playing the star female role in a flick of a weird super hero "The Amazing Lobster-Man" who has an exact alternate origin of Peter Parker (Lobster instead of a spider). The man in the funny suit had a crush for MJ who is still loyal to her husband despite their separation. MJ and Peter returned to each other and the now late Captain America met her as a friend of Spider-Man.

In the "Book of Ezekiel" Ezekiel told Peter his origin, and how there is only supposed to be one spider person chosen by the power's, Ezekiel let Peter tied up and almost eaten by a "Giant Spider" sent by the powers to eliminate the false Spider-Person. Ezekiel remembered the differences between Peter and him which made him decide Peter is the Spider-Man who is supposed to remain and saved him, but Ezekiel died in the process.

After this arc star artist John Romita jr left the Spider-Man books and was replaced by Mike Deodato jr. for the weird and filling unnecessary gaps that didn't exist but quite enjoyable story: "Sins past". Peter receives a letter by his late girlfriend Gwendolyn (Gwen) Stacy and met her twin children who share the blood of Norman Osbourn: Sarah and Gabriel. Sarah's heart softened about the grudge between them and Spider-Man after she confirmed that Peter is not there father like Norman tricked them that he is, but Gabriel was still stubborn and kept his mind on vengeance against their thought to be father and became the Grey Goblin to destroy their father's arch enemy: Spider-Man.

After Spider-Man joined the avengers, gave them his true identity and putted the twin terror tale behind him, an old classmate from high school "Charlie Wiederman" who had less popularity back then than Peter had. Charlie told Peter about his idea for a super suit and that he needed funding for it, this is where Charlie met Anthony Stark/Iron-Man to have the fundings he needed for his project that made him like another Molten Man, but with vibranum enhanced exterior skin instead of Mark's molten exterior skin. Peter defeated the new villain by putting him in a room with high compression so he gets solid stiff. After MJ called Peter and told him about the burnt homes they used to have Tony Stark offered them a stay in an apartment in his building.

During Civil war events Spider-Man exposed his face to the world and J.J.Jameson decided to sue him for betraying his trust. Spider-Man discovered that the Iron-Spider suit that Iron Man made for him after the events of "The Other" transmits Peter's every thought to the computers in Iron-Mans computer's which caused Spider-Man to take his family outside Starks building and changes sides with the anti registration fighters back in his red and Blue suit.

When they were in a motel room Spider-Man was a target for a bullet as a gift from the KingPin that shot May after he dodged it, this time May Reilly Parker was really going to die. Peter got so angry that he wore his black suit to show people he is angry and he won't pull punches. Peter figured Wilson Fisk was the mastermind behind this shot and made him bleed hard, humiliated him and almost killed him in front of every prisoner.

Peter Parker Spider-Man:
Flash Thompson had a job from Norman Osbourn/The Green Goblin that was actually a trap for Spider-Man, he made Eugene "Flash" Thompson drink whesky to six times over the legal dose and made a truck move toward Midtown High hitting the wall hard putting Flash in a coma and got hospitalized for a long time in: "Death in the Family"

Spectacular Spider-Man:

The Venom symbiote evolved, it separated from Eddie because he can't feed it's need of adrenaline any longer. Eddy revealed to Peter that he had cancer the whole time and this is why he blamed Spider-Man for his problems. Peter reunited Eddy and the suit and questioned his decision.


Peter met a woman controlling every person with an insect gene, somehow she manged to control him and turn him into a Man-Spider using a serum by her lips, Spider-Man returned human and was able to left 15 tons instead of his original 10 and had organic web shooters.

Marvel Knights: Spider-Man:
The Venom symbiote was sold by "Edwin Brock" to mobster leader "Don Fortunato" in an auction led by the "Terrible Tinkerer", "Don Fortunato" had a weak son who people mixed on him whether being a male or a female. The symbiote had a fond for Angelo that it taught him its greatest secrets quickly starting with the secret identity of Spider-Man, the Angelo Venom attacked Peter's high school reunion and screamed Spider-Man at Peter then killed Seymour O'Reilley's neck after he was surprised by Spider-Man's alter ego. Spider-Man had a big fight with Venom that made Angelo scared and the symbiote deserted him in midair because he hadn't had enough hate for Spider-Man to continue the fight and fell to his death.
When Peter and MJ made a statement to the police about the attack on school Peter received a call from an anonymous caller who told him while confroting him that Norman Osbourn arranged his aunt May kidnapping, this caller was Scorpion who was also defeated as Venom by Spider-Man and Spider-Man saved his aunt.
During that time J.Jonah Jameson was in one of those times when he offers a reward for the one who exposes Spider-Man, Peter faked pictures making J.J stop offering the reward so people won't get killed because they pretend to be him to get the 5 million dollars. The most amusing part about the faked photo's is that Peter made Colonel John Jameson look as if he was really Spider-Man.

Big Events:
1.The Other:Evolve or Die:
Started by: Peter David & Mike Wieringo in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1

Spider-Man was dying, so he decided to get a use for his own benefit of his powers before he dies. In New York Morlun has returned from the dead and had a big fight with Spider-Man eating his lef eye and then killing him. Peter has awakened from the dead in the hospital after being revived by a giant Spider-Power then killed Morlun by a stinger.
Spider-Man removed his skin and sat in a cocoon, later he has awakened with his new skin and met his other (Ero, who later became a nurse in Spider-Man's school named Ms.Arrow). Anthony Stark had planned and designed a new suit for Peter to go with his new found powers.

2.Spider-Man Unmasked:
Peter faced danger from all of his classic enemies who went to his friends and ones who help the government to arrest him, Flash Thompson threw a ball in a none believing situation that his hero is the clumsy puny punk Peter Parker after waking up from his comma and remembering how he used to be during only high school but received it flying back at him by a kick from Peter, Debbie Whitman returned after long absence publishing a book about how Peter hurt her, and all of Peter's friend felt betrayed.


In the Ultimate Universe:
Started by: Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley
Current team: Brian Michael Bendis & Stuart Immonen
An alternate universe starting with Spider-Man as his shy nerdish 15 years old alter-ego tries to balance his life duties: His school, his work, his home and his web time action. He is now 16 years old and he is known by: Green Goblin, Mary Jane Watson, Doctor octopus, Shield, Harry Osbourn, Edward Brock Jr. & his aunt May.
Unlike the 616 mainstream continuity where he started his crime fighting career after being bitten by a radioactive spider, here he had his powers by the bite of a spider injected with Norman Osbourn's version of the super serum; a serum named "OZ". Since Peter had his powers from a bite and hadn't had the pure serum he stayed as he looks and gained super human powers.
This series had a huge early success as did Todd McFarlane's Spawn. I think it is going on a bit fast pace, since Oct 2k till now; March 2k8 it is about to reach 120 issues (less than eight years)
while Amazing Spider-Man needed over 8 years to build its hundredth amazing issue.

In Marvel Adventures:
A light hearted fun series delivered toward the younger generation, but it's still fun to read and enlightening stories in Peter's teen day's and his idea is secret.

OUT OF THE COMICS:

Video Games: In this era Spider-Man had the highest number of video games ever. 10 games from Activision only.


1.Spider-Man: The first Spider-Man game built by Activision. You get guidance by Felecia
Hardy on how to play in the first stage, after you reach Scorpion your on your own. Your main objective is to prove Spider-Man is not a thief but the story evolves to stopping symbiotic invasion led by Doc Ock to control New York. A memorable game, still enjoy playing it.

2. Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro: The aforementioned game spawned this game even when it was lousy in the view of many. This game has Electro as its star villain trying to gain high powers with a certain gizmo that enhances his powers many levels up.

3. Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace: Exclusive to the Game Boy Advance. Spider-Man takes care of several crimes committed by several villains to figure in the end that Mysterio is the obscured Master Mind. Get him.

4. Spider-Man: The Movie: Based on the first flick, has additional villains beside Green Goblin; Vulture, Shocker and I don't know who else. The GBA version has two fights with Kraven the Hunter, the second fight made me hate the Game Boy Advance version of the game.

5. Spider-Man 2: Based on the second movie, if you want to play this game take either the GBA version or the PS2 version. The PC version controls are just the mouse buttons: Right to jump and Left for the guided action in the right position.

6. Ultimate Spider-Man: These comics spreaded and became popular fast that made a video game five years after the comics release. Excellent game. You have consoles & PC version, GBA version and NDS version.

7. Spider-Man: Battle for New York is a second game based on the Ultimate storyline, here the villain you play with is Green Goblin. This game is exclusive for NDS & GBA

8. Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Not a Spider-Man game but he is a main playable character in this game. This game isn't based on the Ulltimate comics storyline.

9. Spider-Man 3: The PS2 & NintendoWii versions are way different compared to the PC, PS3 & XBOX 360 version.

10. Spider-Man FoF: Friend or Foe is based on the film series, Spider-Man has to fight the villains of the movies and defeat them to make an alliance with them.

There is a game that involves Spider-Man which is not made by Activision, it is made by Electronic Arts (EA) Games, and it is titled: "Marvel Nemesis; Rise of the Imperfect". The visuals are too dark, and the story didn't appeal to me at all, not even the gameplay. EA does much better with Harry Potter games.

Movies: Three facinating movies released and enjoyed highly by the public with great rates. A fourth movie is expected to be done and released around the year 2010, the main plan for it currently is to involve the Sinister Six who unfortunately aren't revealed to team up (specially since Sandman is supposedly a good guy with no grudge and Doctor Octopus is suposed to be dead). The same film team intend to complete the series with a sixth movie.

Animated series: Two new animated series were released:

1- The CGI MTV animated series made as a continuum to the first movie and released in 13 episodes after the first film. The story is supposed to tell what happened between the first and the second movie, but it doesn't fill the bill.

2- Gregg Weisman's: Spectacular Spider-Man animated series. Already 3 episodes has shown and the fourth is awaited to come this Saturday.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

In the shattering events of "One More Day" story arc which is written by Joe Michael Sraczynsky and illustrated by editor in chief Joe Quesada Spider-Man felt guilt toward his aunt May injury after being shot by a sniper hired by Wilson Fisk "The KingPin" that he felt was supposed to be in his body. Spider-Man looks for a way to revive and heal his aunt and Mephisto comes to give him what he wanted in exchange of his marriage to Mary Jane, at first Spider-Man told Mephisto to shove his offer but MJ intervened and accepted the offer believing her love with Peter is unbreakable completely. Spider-Man wakes up from bed in his old home with his aunt, not married and his webbing returned artificial. The last part of that arc ended with Peter and his friends (MJ left Harry's welcoming back party before the toast) having a toast for a "Brand New Day".

Starting from Amazing Spider-Man #546 a 12 issue story arc titled "Brand new day" with three issues a month, each month has a different duo of writer and artist starting with Dan Slott and Steve McNiven.
