^yep

Also, lordbest, your post works amazingly well with the expression Steven's got in your icon.

Yeah I think what people forget is that it isn't diversity being forced, the real world IS diverse, its comics which have been artificially constrained until recently.

Thanks heh.

im a spider-man and spider family big time fan, however i think we have quite a few already prior to both of them coming in and they (marvel) aren't even utilizing all of them.

Spider-verse isn't my biggest area of interest,I've never particularly liked Peter Parker/Spider-man. I've actually got more interested in Spider characters thanks to Anya Corazon in Avengers Assemble (the Bendis/Deconnick run), Spider-gwen and Silk.
I'm just saying there are plenty of Spider-men, and not all of them are being utilized so I don't really see a problem with there being more. Though focusing on telling stories with the current ones would be sensible.

I started collecting Marvel Legends because I found an Anya Corazon Spider-girl figure in a local Target after I had just finished reading the Avengers Assemble story arc with her. One of the things I really like about the line is that with a third of each wave being female characters I might actually get my favourite females as well as males, unlike most other lines. Looking at you The Black Series 6".
