What did /co/ think of Spiderverse?

Interesting story. One of the better ones in recent years.

>>88908233
Good idea, bad execution save for a few tie-ins.

wasted potential that killed Amazing Friends Spider-Man and his amazing friends

>>88908233
pretty fun stuff

>>88908233
The only thing amazing about it was how it managed to take such a fun and interesting concept and turn it into a frustrating mess of unsatisfying plot-lines. Seriously how to you fuck up "Spider-Team from across the multiverse band together to defeat a great evil"? It's such a simple concept.

Massive waste of potential that was better executed as a video game written by the same writer.

It was largely boring. Too much of the Spiders getting their shit pushed in and running away.

Not entirely terrible but to nobody's surprise it didn't live up to it's potential. It was okay.

>>88908545
this

they spent too much time making Morlun and co super powerful so the climax felt undercooked.

If you will look at the events these days like Civil war 2
Spiderverse was a gold standard.

>>88908592
It's sad how much of that is actually true. It was disappointing garbage but compared to shit like Black Vortex or Civil War 2 it wasn't nearly as bad.

one of the worst events I've had the displeasure of reading. I actually gave up on it near the end and I've read all kinds of awful crossovers (ex: DCs Bloodlines)

>what if morlun wasn't just a cool vampire dude
>what if he had a whole family of gay ass OP vampires

>alternate version of spidey that you like shows up
>ONE SHOTTED

>what if may's parents were brutally murdered?
>what if the iceman and firegirl from that cartoon you liked as a girl were brutally murdered

>what if peter parker is incompetent gives up and needs to be rescued by spock, the best character to ever exist? (in slotts mind)

even the great art couldn't save it

>>88908780
>as a girl
what is this i dont even
I meant as a young boy

At least it gave us Spider-Gwen porn.
And also it gave us Spider-Punk.

And then we got SP//dr.

Good potential, wasted on repetitive story with a weak ending. Hell, they killed off 90's animated Spider-Man when most people I tell about the event ask about him first.

>>88908592
Civil War 2 didn't even deliver on the Civil War part! There was only one fight of two sides clashing, and I still don't even know what Tony was trying to accomplish with that fight.

Spider-Verse at least offered a plethora of Spider-Men.

>>88908233
Real fun but it dropped the ball at the end.

I will say though, I would watch the hell out of this if it was a movie.

SP//dr and the Dustin Weaver issue were great

>>88908287
wasted potential that killed off MvC Spidey in a stupid way. Should have had someone who's actually played a fighting game in the last five years write that.

>>88908233
it was shitty but this is modern marvel now

>>88908233
Aside from Copiel's great art on the first two thirds, it's complete and utter shit. The plot was dumb as fuck.

>>88908292
Yeah, watching Peter (or whoever the universe's stand in for him was) get murdered universe-by-universe by a bunch of fucking nobody villains who had had God Mode turned on until the story needed to end and then they randomly don't.... Super fucking fun story.

All those times 616 Peter completely bitches out (not being the one to inspire AU Uncle Ben, not being the one to figure out how to defeat the Inheritors... Despite doing it TWICE in his own universe already)... Super fuckin' fun, right?

>>88908499
And done even better, years before, in the TAS 2-part series finale

>>88908565
>Not entirely terrible

No, it was entirely terrible.

>>88908233
A waste

>>88908271

This is Slott's calling card nowadays.

>>88908338

This is what burns me the most. That is such a great, cheesy, comic book style plot. How did Slott make it into a tedious series of people standing around waiting to get ganked by nothin personnels?

A huge pile of garbage almost rivaling Ultimatum.

>>88908862

Are you saying SP//dr is good or bad? Because depending on your answer, you and I might be mortal enemies now.

>>88911333
I meant it in a good way. Otherwise I'd have been like:

>But then again, Spider-Verse did give us those two-page stories where Slott just up and killed every Spider-Man that ever existed.

I still wonder how he ever got that pitch through. Is Editorial that lax, or does EVERYBODY hate Peter Parker?

>>88911400

They probably figured it didn't matter since they were going to destroy all the AUs in the Multiverse event anyway. And then they failed to follow through on that.

>>88911400
I think they just didn't give a fuck. To them, as long as Peter was present, it didn't matter what Slott did.

It fucking sucked. Half a dozen issues of pointless slaughter and then a rushed ending.

I hope all the Spideys die except Peter, who then vows to never let anyone else be a Spider-man because it's just too dangerous.

>>88908233
Interesting idea, awful execution.

>>88911470
That's also what I had come to assume.
But, as you say, they fucked up with resetting the multiverse. I blame Marvel for that, not Hickman.

Was there any point to Secret Wars other than killing the Ultimate Universe, giving Doom a facelift, and telling Sue and Reed to fuck off?

>>88908233
I fucking love multiversal crossovers.

But this was a wasted opportunity of monumental proportions. Literally everything was mishandled.

Hilariously enough, Assassin Spider-Man showed up alive in the Deadpool Too Soon comic which was out last year. And MvC Spider-Man will probably be alive considering the next Marvel vs Capcom game.

Now all that's left to do is have DeFalco bring back MC2 Peter.

>>88912304

Where'd this one come from? Also Morlun and his family were probably the lamest of villains to use.

Negative bonus points for no Spidercide, Web-Man, and/or Flipside

>>88912544
There should have been no family in the first place.
Morlun was tolerable as a mostly unexplained horror movie monster with vague hints about his origin. The air of unknown about him is what made him work (or "work" if you don't like him as a villain). But Slott never got the memo that explaining villains like that makes them even shittier (see Halloween and the whole Cult of Thorn mess).

So, I was prepared for death, and I was annoyed for the most part, but finding out MJ Spider-Woman from Exiles died stung the worst. Especially since it spits in the eye of Sunfire's death.

>>88908262
>Interesting story.

Factually wrong.

The Edge of Spider-verse comics were better than the actual story.

THEY'RE WEAKNESS IS RADIATION!
YOU'RE TELLING ME NO SPIDER-MAN COULD FIGURE THAT SHIT OUT UNTIL LATE IN THE GAME.

>>88908233

Great concept with very poor execution.

>>88911333
>SP//dr
My favorite part was the spider that bit her is alive and part of the story. But I think the anime camoes would have gotten too much for an actual series.

Another one-off I like was seeing peter turn into a spider monster and impregnate MJ, very old school horrur comic.

I liked the Spider-man Nior intro issue where we got to see Nior Mysterio. In the actual he was completely wasted and is continued to be wasted.

>>88912544

Between Spock and Spider-Verse I think Slott was just trying as hard as he could to leave his mark on Peter.

Morlun is kinda sorta Spider-Man's version of Bane (OC villain comes out of nowhere and fucks up the hero worse than any of their regular rogues), and so Slott in his attempts to write the biggest and bestest Spider-story ever (it's got more Spider-Man than any other!) of course had to have the biggest and baddest villain as the threat.

>>88913044

When did this happen?

I remember /co/ claiming that one ambiguous Spider-Man in one panel was MJ, but I don't think it was ever explicitly stated.

>>88914676
The people hunting the Radioactive Spiderman are weak to Radiation!

>>88908826
Don't deny it /co/mrade, you're turning into a trap. Embrace it.

>>88915847
To be fair that got set up in JMS' first Morlun story.

>>88912370
Where's Deadpool?

He was talking to Spider-Ham.

>>88916276

Is it just me, or is the catcher about to get his head smashed in with a baseball bat?

>>88912370
>Spider Hulk

so where was he during Spider-verse? Surely with his gamma radiation and strength, he could've solo'd the inheritors.

>>88912544
>They didnt use a Sinister Six comrpomised of villians that killed spider-man in their own universe

>>88913044
To be fair though, her death was on the same page as Spider-Man Reign's death, and Spider-Man Reign died before he got his arm out of the cast, which means it couldn't be the actual one and yet another alt reality.

>>88912370

>Spider Noir is there
>Even he's mad at the interruption

Baseball is serious business.

Fixed

Black Tarantula was his Bane

>>88916515

Isn't Kraven's Last Hunt kind of a Bane thing only if Bane ate it at the end?

At this point, I'm waiting for Marvel to pull a "DC: Rebirth" level cosmic retcon, but knowing Marvel, they'll STILL manage to find a way to fuck it up royally. As long as Slott, Bendis, and Quesada still work at Marvel, it's gonna continue to be shit.

Peter's still going to be a fucking single manchild who's less of a "relatable everyman" and more of a fucking white nerd's power fantasy, MJ's going to continue to be written like shit, Felicia will still be a villain because reasons, Miles Morales will still exist, and so will fucking Silk.

Yeah it was pretty fun to see all the different spidermen team up and interact, the edge of the spiderverse stuff was neat. I'm not saying it was amazing story telling or even particularly good, but it was pretty fun.
Don't take things so serious man, it's just a comic book

>>88908780
Leopardon was one of the fewer things that was actually worth to see.

>>88908780
>what if the iceman and firegirl
You don't even know what's she's called so why are you so upset about it in the first place?

Generally bad, but it had it's moments.

>LEOPARDON
>Morlun getting punked by daily comic strip spidey

>>88908233

Ups and downs but one of the better Marvel events recently. Suffered from being the brain child of Slott who hasn't actually written a better than average comic in years(and for the most part is just straight garbage now).

I like basic premise and giving attention to various Spideys. The main story was a convoluted mess that wasn't explaining well. But individual parts of Spider-Verse had some gems. I like 60s cartoon Pete meeting Ultimate Cartoon Pete and Miles and traveling with them. I liked Uncle Ben Spidey in the wasteland and wish that he'd been touched on more. I like the parts involving Miguel/the future. I liked most of the 1-2 page shorts in the main Spiderverse book like the hostess fruit pie story and the one with the newspaper strip peter.

>>88908780
>firegirl

Get out, pleb.

>>88912240
>I hope all the Spideys die except Peter
But at least half the Spideys ARE Peter. What did he mean by this?

>>88916368

He was in background shots.

>>88912253
Getting Miles in 616 of course :^)

>>88915812
It's widely assumed it was MJ Spider

>>88920920
I know you're memeing on me, but that's seriously all it seemed to do.

The fact that they skipped eight months of time between SW and the new ongoings just cements that, too. It's as if Hickman was ignoring Alonso's phone calls for how the ending goes, so Alonso went "Fuck it" and called in a time skip.

>>88908233
He was drawn pretty hot.

>>88916515
My dude. Black Tarantula is so fucking awesome.
