Which Spider-Woman is that? The Secret Wars one (forget her name) always had a suit that was derivative of Spidey's.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 07:41 (four years ago) link
Yes — this is Jessica Drew, who has no relation whatsoever to Spidey.

(...And who already got an awesome new costume just a few years back. Plus, her “classic” costume is one of Marvel’s best. She didn’t need a crappy third costume.)
― Ticket Tout (morrisp), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 14:43 (four years ago) link
Forget the costume, whoever's writing this thing better be prepared to outdo that Hopeless run or why even bother.

Jessica Drew is my favorite Marvel hero about whom I know practically nothing
Like, I never followed her stories or anything but I LOVE her entire look and whenever she shows up as a secondary character, I cheer
― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 17:08 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I can't fully explain my love for the character (tho I have gone back and read most of her solo stuff)... there's just something really compelling about her.
― Ticket Tout (morrisp), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 17:23 (four years ago) link
she's cool, also a brainwashed spy of some sort
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:13 (four years ago) link
It's too bad they retconned her seventies origin story, where it was revealed she was originally a spider that had been uplifted into a human by the High Evolutionary. That's an awesomely grotesque superhero origin.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 27 February 2020 07:29 (four years ago) link
that is great
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Thursday, 27 February 2020 09:11 (four years ago) link
To be fair, that original origin (when she was intended to be just a one-shot character, to establish trademark rights in the name) was immediately retconned later the same year, the next time she appeared.
― Murdered-Out Highlander XLE (morrisp), Thursday, 27 February 2020 15:39 (four years ago) link
(And I think she could not have seen long-term success with such a bizarre origin.)
― Murdered-Out Highlander XLE (morrisp), Thursday, 27 February 2020 15:41 (four years ago) link
One more point: as far as retcons go, revealing that the High Evolutionary had “gaslighted” her into thinking she had evolved from a spider, for psychological manipulation purposes, is still a pretty satisfyingly f’d-up background.

xp you say that but its 2020 and Spider-Pig is a household name whoooooooooooo

there is no better use for pedantry than correcting people on the accuracy of Peter Porker's sobriquet
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 27 February 2020 20:15 (four years ago) link
Simpsons movie did more box office and has been on home video for 12 years, it's more likely to have generated a household name tbh

I demand they bring back Goose Rider
I had the original Marvel Tails comic and still occasionally think of the panel captioned "Goose Rider summons the demons of heck"

You may be in luck. The second of two collections of all the OG Spider-Ham material is forthcoming and a new title has just begun in the past month. We're in the midst of a veritable Ham-issuance.

"I wanted to have teen characters who felt as "now" as the New Warriors did in 1990,” explains Kibblesmith. “The New Warriors have been zeitgeist characters from the beginning, you get edgy skateboarding Night Thrasher in the '90s and the Reality TV team in the 2000s, and now in 2020, we have New Warriors who have never grown up without the Internet, and one character who appears to essentially live inside it.
this almost makes it sound intentionally dumb, a tribute to fumbling, already-dated-when-they-debuted attempts at being contemporary from earlier decades? all of this really does sounds corny in almost exactly the same way as introducing a brooding skateboard-riding superhero called 'Night Thrasher' in 1990 was corny

Immortal Hulk #33 / LGY # 750, "The Thoughtful Man". Oversized issue, they used the extra pages to have many many double page spreads of amazing grotesque. This series...

The lack of a proper collected edition of Claremont’s run remains pretty annoying/baffling. The only good attempt I’ve seen so far is the half size UK glossy versions

The Marvel Masterworks versions are all you need - includes the Wolverine series, God Loves Man Kills, Majik, and Kitty Pryde and Wolverine.
