THE HEART

___ _____

I was talking more about her dialogue, and the way characters talk in the book in general.
I like the writing as a whole, but damn these characters have stiff, awkward speaking patterns.

So that finally settles what the deal is with the people who were resurrected in The Clone Conspiracy. Ben was confirmed to have retained his original soul in PAD's Scarlet Spider, but I didn't know whether he was a special case or all of the people brought back with the new cloning method kept their souls as well. I guess that means Gwen was finally resurrected for real and not just cloned. Not that she lasted long.

Thanks OP
I really like this run

It literally could have just been Ben and Billy.

>only one issue left
Huh.

I suppose so, but I don't see why Ben and one random kid would be the only ones.

I really want this arc to be over.
Re-treading old shit for brownie points is never fucking good, and this has been mostly dumb and slow.

Thanks for the storytime.

Accidents happen, and Ben only got that way after hundreds of re-cloning attempts that nearly broke him. It's way more likely that he mistook it as everyone being able to come back fine and Billy was just the single irregularity.

I'll agree with you on that, but the meat of it is interesting. Trying to get Peter to get over his stupid "EVERYONE LIVES ALWAYS FOREVER I WILL NEVER JEOPARDIZE ANYONE'S LIFE FOR ANY REASON" bullshit and working through Curt like this is nice.

It's weird but they probably wanted to plug up anything left over from Clone Conspiracy and give a happier outcome to Curt killing his own son since it was only temporary. That way there won't be any questions and it'll be easier to have him be so hellbent on protecting his kid.

Who is that with the tentacles?

Carolyn Trainer. She was the second Doctor Octopus and was introduced after Otto died in the nineties. She now goes by Lady Octopus.

I remember Carolyn trainer, but I thought she'd been dead for 20 years. Seems odd to bring her back just to exposit

She's made a few small appearances over the years.

>A lot of casualties.

>Barely showing any.

Well next issue is going to be depressing.

Peter's POV describes the gravity of the situation.

even without the censorship this is a really boring issue

Oh gosh

Wait, what? Why? How? I don’t get it...

If Curt gets killed....

This is emotionally draining.

>You don't have kids though, do you?
Ouch.

Why don’t you censor yourself, you jackass?

She may be a z-lister, but she's an a-lister in my heart. Something about her turns me on immensely.

But it's like almost guaranteed that Curt will die now. Some happy ending...
Also who were all the casualties implied ?? How many more cute waifus has Spencer slaughtered?

Attached: Doctor Connors.png (337x473, 450K)

Someone remind me why Spider-man has so much trouble putting Vermin down. Isn't he a lot stronger?

How often is Kraven gonna un- and redress Peter? lol

D'aww

>But it's like almost guaranteed that Curt will die now. Some happy ending...
I know it was an effective tragedy but I didn't like that he killed his son. So not only is his son back but his soul is the same. Reminds me of this anime called Geneshaft that takes place in the future and one of the main characters has a younger sister that died and a clone was made to replace her. And the guy talked about how he always looked at his sister and felt that his real sister is dead and that a fake one took her place.

>Not having one of the rich assholes recognize Lorina

missed potential

Kraven is such a homosexual. He's literally the reason this arc is spinning in circles. If it was just Arcade as the villain everything would actually make a lot more sense and consistent.
Like you seriously expect me to believe Kraven planned for Curt to let himself get captured so that he could make Peter rip out his chip? And I thought Kraven Jr. was going to kill Billy in front of Curt? Everything just keeps changing issue to issue, it's like a Marv Wolfman comic at this point.

Attached: Capture.png (429x301, 267K)

He's sick and tired, also, that's not just one Vermin, but a bunch of them.

I wonder what this means for other characters who have been cloned back to life, like Black Widow, Baron Strucker, the Maraduders, etc. Do they still have their origina soul?

Right, but I seem to recall that he often has trouble with only one too?

Spencer is most likely building up to something big. So far we have:
Team Hell
>Mysterio
>Kingpin
>Centipede
>Mephisto
>Joe Quesada

Team Villains
>Vulture
>Hammerhead
>Arcade
>Kraven Jr.
>Kraven Sr.
>Bunch of rich fuckers
>Aunt May's cancer

F
>Gibbon
>Ned Leeds
>Big Man Jr. (male)

Presumed RIP
>Iguana
>Gazelle
>Mad Dog
>Man-Bull

Wild Cards
>Taskmaster
>Black Ant
>SpOck
>Thieves Guild
>All the extra Z-listers ever minus the ones who died

And potentially joining team Spider-Man
>Randy Robertson
>Jigsaw Jameson
>The Lizard
>Black Cat
>Miles Morales (because of ItSV synergy)
>Mary Jane Watson
>Ant-Man, Stinger, Griz, Machinesmith, Miss Thing
>The Sinister Six (Five)
>Spider-Man

Watch as the run culminates in Team Spider-man working together to push into the bowels of Hell itself while constantly double-crossing each other. They learn from interacting with Peter the true value and power of responsibility. As they fight their way to defeat Mephisto, he transforms into a Cerberus with his heads are Quesada, Slott and Bendis. After the big fight is over, Boomer asks Spider-man
>And what do we do now?
>Now, we are all ready, it's time to attend my wedding.

Forgot Stromm again, you pastafucker.

Curt wasn’t planned. Kraven likely had some other plan before curt gift wrapped himself for him

>my feet hurt

Actual non-clone Kraven saves Spider-Man from death to force him to turn Connors into a monster and ignore his moralfagging code. What's not to get?

>undoing SHED

Fuckers. That was the best Lizard storyline ever and they just do away with it. Best stoeyline of the Brand New Day era, period.

For you

It's not exactly done away with. The fact still remains that Curt killed his own son, and his son knows it. More importantly, there are more stories that can be done with Billy alive than with Billy dead.

They really hyped this up to be some huge change for Spider-Man but this just seems like a standard arc. The stakes just don't seem to be there. The only interesting thing for me is the She Demon resurfacing at MJ's.

>she

It has been hinted that it could be a female. I know the current top theory is Mephisto but seems way too obvious.

For all we know it could be fucking Judas Traveller.

Standard or not, I'm really enjoying this. I don't really care if there isn't long-term fallout.

It does however raise some questions such as the fact that the Doc Ock that was cloned came back with Peter’s soul despite Peter being alive at the time or clones of Prowler or the people Ben kept in stasis

Ok, that made me chuckle.

Thanks for the storytime

My autism makes me want to go back to MJ and have hugs and kisses forever too, user, but we gotta move forward if Peter will complete his character development so that he is willing to kill his worst enemy.
Spencer is the sensei who through Kraven will teach Peter the cruel ruthlessness that is necessary to DESTROY Joe Quesada.

I fucking hope not. The less the Clone Saga is acknowledged, the better.

It definitely seems like a more isolated case of the "real souls" thing. Remember, Prowler was cloned, but he was still alive, healing, so that was definitely not his real soul in that body.

Being Curt Connors is literally suffering.

I would assume the way it works is that if someone gets cloned after they're dead and haven't passed on (thus their soul has no body but isn't in an afterlife) then the soul will naturally just re-enter the clone body. But that's just a no-prize guess.

I think that's why he and Peter understand each other so well.

It wasn't undone tho? It's consequences are just being adressed

Didn't know Kubo was helping out.

>How many more cute waifus has Spencer slaughtered?

Panda-Mania is later revealed to have died off-panel.

could we storytime the last issue? because I missed that

I thought big man jr just got arrested

Wait, so is Connors for sure gonna die because of this, or would he just be trapped in Lizard form or something?

I really don't want him to fuckin' die.

Attached: the_lizard_by_pecks13.jpg (900x981, 177K)

He died going back to his home planet.

It sucks being Billy

You need to add Mendel Stromm to the F list. Remember Centipede was implied to have killed him after their deal being done.

>censorship
What?
Where is this from?

Don't respond to that guy.

Spider-man has held up skyscrapers before. I find it hard to believe he can't bend iron bars or punch through a wall.

Did you just not notice the bomb collar?

CURSE YOU HUGE HANDS HANZ!

>Spider-man has held up skyscrapers before
It was hardly a skyscraper and the physicals isn't really as direct as that and it wasn't without tremendous effort and a shit load of effort that left him completely drained.

What is this from?

Does he have a fucking exoskeleton? What are those abs?

Im pretty sure that was also the plot of Astro Boy

Proportional chitin plating of a Spider.

Curt was definitely not a part of the plan, the fact that he wasn’t is the only reason Billy is present.

So he' s back in black again?

Bleach.

Kraven dressed him up this way because it's what he wore during Last Hunt.

Not by his own free will.
Kraven is a pervert.

I'm surprised Kraven didn't capture Chameleon, he's his half-brother but still an animal-themed villain.

When was the last time we saw Chamelon.

Bendis was the one who brought her back for a single panel in his Secret War. Then he used her again as a punching bag for Reeree.

So it's established she's around but without any of the pomp and circumstance C-listers like The League of Losers command. They at least get more dialogue and mileage out of no one taking them seriously.

She's in that weird gulf of unremarkables like Scorpia.

He probably tried, but Chameleon disguised himself as the tech-themed villain, Mysterio, while the latter was busy serving the devil and invading the MCU.

It thought it was body armour at first

>Yea Forums is this young now.
Welp, time to die.

Too bad he can't survive a bomb collar exploding in his neck.

Can he though

ummm this seems like something out of a porno

what a man

the matter of does a clone retain the same soul is an interesting thing to talk about at least to me in the recent scarlet spider run ben developed his own soul and that circle of four mini x23 was told she has a soul but now we have this weird case so is that how it works? if the original soul is still in use a new one will be created but if the original is dead the clone inherits the soul?

This would be a great page without those smaller figures of Spider-Man fighting the Vermin.

To be honest I'll never get why people get upset at mostly white pages.

I can already see how this ends. Instead of killing him Peter traps him into permanent interface with a robot hunter, but disables all its abilities to do harm.

>They really hyped this up to be some huge change for Spider-Man but this just seems like a standard arc. The stakes just don't seem to be there.
Just be patient, user. The payoff will be phenomenal when it all gets recycled for the PS4 Spider-Man sequel.

What's to get? It's a sign of incompetence. A comic only has some odd pages to get it's story across and wasting one on a single color of nothing but some text is a waste and inefficient. Typically you can achieve the same result by having the fade out/fade in being on a page turn. It's a visual medium and this kind of shit shows you don't know how to make the most effective use of it.

He'll probably die and I'm fine with it. As a villain he's boring and Marvel will never allow him to actually have any sort of control over the Lizard so let him die knowing he's kept his family safe and give him some goddamn peace.

Until Marvel revives him in five years.

They Marvel should finally just let him do some more heroics to spice things up.

I think Spider-Man/Deadpool and he was back to using masks again for some reason. I'd guess Spencer probably has some kind of plan for him though if not until after the Centipede stuff... hopefully?

I don't know, he's my favorite Spidey villain but it always feels like he gets shafted and for years has just been kind of a guy. He needs to learn that Spidey's Peter again so he can go back to doing what he does best: fucking with Peter psychologically and deeply personally.

>Where is this from?

It's from Bleach.?

>I killed my kid as the Lizard
>now I have learned and I will make it all better
>by going to my kid as the Lizard
I mean, I understand storytelling enough to suppose it's going to go well, and I understand they're don't have any other way except watching his kid die, but this seems pretty stupid

Desperation often leads to not smart decision making.

Look, becoming the Lizard is his thing. Let him have this.

Scorpia keeps showing up in things like Mercs for Money, Champions and Uncanny Avengers, though her "angry, horny maniac" characterization went the way of her red hair.

Attached: cute.jpg (696x1070, 272K)

Cute

I hate when stuff like this is done with minor characters like her because it's always ignored. Scorpia and Shocker as a low level non-murderous Bonnie & Clyde whose dates consist of shit like bank heists is something you can get some mileage out of.

Bump

Jesus man, Spencer writes a Fucking amazing Lizard and Kraven, I’m blown away by how good his run has been.

I want that. I really just like professional crooks who are quite openly "bad guys" but also not so bad they're irredeemable. Take a few hostages you probably don't intent to kill, flip over a few police cars and take some shit.

BUMP

Felicia could always let Billy suckle on her titties to help him relax.

connor is gonna die, right?

thanks OP, really liking this book

Her size has increased again

I kinda want MC2 Peter to just turn into a swarm of spiders and just fucking eat Kraven.

Can Peter fucking abandon his nobody dies vow already? People around him are dying left and right AGAIN. He keeps to this vow as well as Tony keeps off the sauce and it gets in the way of him killing people that deserve it.

Back in the day he'd just shove a bag of live grenades into a dude if he thought he had it coming.

t.Punisher

>t. Punisher
Peter had no no kill rule for like 50 years. He just didn't go out of his way to kill all his villains. He kept it to murderers and self-defense/defense of others only.

That's Kraven's keikaku in this arc. He's pushing Spider-Man till he breaks his code.

Guys, why are they developing Felicia's maternal instincts all of this run ??

>but some text is a waste and inefficient. Typically you can achieve the same result by having the fade out/fade in being on a page turn.
So, emotions is a thing. And a fade out doesn't convey the same thing as a white page emotionally.
Authors have less reluctance using white page or white panel in manga and nobody cares because it's suit what's being conveyed.

>So, emotions is a thing
Emotions ARE a thing and no a complete page of white is still completely unnecessary. In fact I'd argue it actually detracts from the emotions by making a big spectacle of it. Watching a character lose conscious over the course of a few panels is an effective use of the pages but a complete white is just dead paper.

Are this people serious?
Everyone that has actually read Spiderman old runs knows Felicia popped his cherry. (Don't even start with Gwen because Norman took care of that)

In fact with the way they remember their relationship before OMD I could almost bet Peter won't ever have that much sex with anyone again.

>Are this people serious?
Are THESE people serious.

Well, he got married so.... oh wait that actually kills sex drive for real

A page of pure white is less lazy than white with text. You can at least call that an artistic statement of void. If you're gonna be a bitch and have dialogue too, use some kind of visual symbol or color to convey the emotion.

so are they retconning the events of shed, good I hated that.

>One issue left
This is gonna be a mess, isn't it?

I've read the first 300 or so chapters before dumping it and remember almost nothing of it.

I'm 33 and I never read that either.

Bleach was probably more of a thing among the kids that are around 25 today.

How? It's all coming to a head. Kraven is making his last move. Lizard is free. Cat and Billy are all in sight. It should be wrapping up soon

Kraven quickly destroys Peter.
Lizard and Kraven stalemate.
Billy dies cuz of explosion/unforseen.
Felicia murders Kraven.
Lizard returns to sewers insane.

>I mean bad guys will always break out
There are plenty of break outs, but you also have to keep in mind that Marvel has the Thunderbolts and other similar operations that are like Suicide Squad, but not a comically evil joke with no hope of escape.

(Certain) villains can actually earn paroles by heroing in Marvel. A villain showing up out of jail again could just as easily caught a few bank robbers off panel or stopped an alien invasion or something.

MJ got kidnapped too, didn't she? Is that the next arc?

>Peter had no no kill rule for like 50 years.
You're remembering it wrong. He had no no kill rule for 5 years tops. He wasn't even willing to kill Norman, Burglar, or Doc Ock, and kept trying to save people from Cloak and Dagger.

No, I'm not.

Yep, totally unwilling. Definitely meant for Norman to survive this.

Attached: RCO032.jpg (996x1518, 524K)

>1968
Oh ok. 6 years tops.
This is from some modern post-Norman comes back-comic or whatever. Peter wouldn't kill Norman even on the night Gwen died.

So what I'm getting from you people and your responses is you either only read the 60's of Spider-man or the 90's onward. Hardly 50 fucking years.

It was a different time.

The only relevant time of Spider-man were the 70's and 80's anyway. That's just a fact, you don't need to continue this conversation.

I like how you're ignoring the other examples of that time. He tried saving Silvermane and Doc Ock in the eighties. Even after Doc Ock almost killed Black Cat. Also, trying to constantly prevent Venom from killing Carnage who is way worse than Kraven.

Say not such horrible words.

Nah. There seems to be a general pattern from what I can tell.
If a clone pops up it gets a copy of the original soul.
If the clone is made while the original is dead then it gets the original soul.
Different types of cloning can mess up and not have a soul automatically shove itself in but generally the scientists aren't the ones actually doing anything to put the OG soul inside.
All of this is really just old news.

Bump

She didn’t pop his cherry it’s inplied that Pete had at least one or two partners after gwen, it’s heavily implied that he got together with Marcy kaine and romita sr himself said that spider man blue was canon

Not him but Peter never touched Gwen user

Peter 100% touched MJ though. That's why modern society and comics are such SJW shit, because fucking Gerry Conway decided it was important for Peter to Have Sex instead of first getting married to the most important female character in the world, Gwen Stacy, Stan Lee's wife and perfect wife for Peter Parker who would show him her breasts and butt only after he married her and maybe we the readers would also see and be inspired to get married and women wouldn't be allowed to vote or ruin comics with their SJW's anymore!

Attached: Click 2.jpg (1061x1500, 1.23M)

Everybody but Peter touched Gwen though

Everyone who actually read comics knows Conway is a big MJfag and he made sure Peter had sex wkth her on his last issue of being ASM's writer

Only autistic people can't see this increibly unsubtle moment not ending in sex

Hey shut the fuck up, I'm autistic and even I can see they had sex. They probably did it doggy style too. Peter took out his penis and placed it balls deep in her red and curly haired ginger flaming vagina. From behind. He then took it out and replaced it into her ginger anus. He repeated this procedure until she came red ginger mucus everywhere. Then he came. It was hot.

Sorry for doubting autistic people, friend.
I guess it's really just dumb people and waifufags in denial huh?

One author just trying to push his headcanon on the very last frame so people "remember him". Pathetic.

That one author has done more damage to American society with a few comics than you ever will in your entire life.

He already killed Gwen. People would remember him regardless of whether Peter fucked MJ or not.
Stay mad

I want this ship to exist more and more

Nah, he's just *that guy*. Gwen death was editorial mandate.

>Gwen death was editorial mandate.
Do you... do you seriously believe that? Like, how uninformed do you have to be to think that?
No, Gwen's death wasn't editorial mandate. He barely managed to get past Stan Lee with it because Stan wasn't listening when Conway told him he'd kill her off. Gwen's death literally happened because Conway wanted to deny the happiness of marrying Stan's wife to millions of young men in America, and instead shoved his trashy damaged bimbo down their throats in the name of fucking feminism.
