FF Spidey is awesom. Only downside is how buff he is.

It's the Morales suit, but I can't remember who the other one is in the set. It may not be under the MvC banner, come to think of it.

And I don't mind FF Spidey being buff. I think my main problem is I haven't found one that I'm satisfied with the paint apps. There's a lot I can forgive when it comes to that, but the ones I've found have had too much wrong for me to ignore.

Ohhh, yeah, that's the TRU wave. He comes with Ult. Captain America. That set's gettin' scarce!

I haven't even seen FF Spidey in the wild, hahaha, I had to get mine from BBTS.

Ult. Cap! Thanks, man. That was bugging the piss out of me. Scarce, you say? Hmmm. Maybe next time I won't put it back on the shelf....

Wow. Punisher and FF Spidey are about the only new MU figures I see on a regular basis now. Oh, and Shulk has popped up a few times here and there. Well, I hope you lucked out on some decent paint apps for your FF then. I think I might have to settle for one before they all disappear to less-discerning collectors (i.e. kids ).

Like all Minimates, once they're gone off the shelves, they all have a high chance to go for ten or twelve bucks on eBay and such. Ult. Spidey is quite wanted at the moment, I think it's a good investment, but I hang on to all my toys. It's nice to someday end up with something very rare.

Yeah! I'm not entirely picky with my paint apps the FF Spidey I have came with, they could be better, but I'm happy. I'm just glad as crap I have some new MU figures.

So is Peter Parker dating anyone in the comics? Just curious haven't really kept up to date with him ever since they took away MJ from him.

[Scythe]

He's kinda/sorta wanting to get with MJ after him and Carlie didn't work. Last I checked.

So many Peter Parker/Spider-man fans are going to be pissed after Amazing Spider-man #700 tomorrow.

Yeah, I get that feeling. I'm way behind on ASM but what I've heard recently is puzzling.

[nakobass]

Amazing Spider-Man 700 ENDING! WTF!!! THIS IS SO STUPID!!! Man, I'm not even a big Spider-Man fan, but this really pissed me off. It better get retconned soon.

It will eventually, but I estimate at least 2-3 yes before it does. While I don't particularly like what happened, I'm not as up in arms about it as most people have been, giving out death threats and all.

I mean this isn't the first time in comics a character has been killed off and replaced only to be retconned back into existence later (Ultimate Peter Parker being the only exception to the list below): Barry Allen (The Flash) was replaced with Wally West, Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) with John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner, Bruce Wayne with Dick Grayson, Steve Rogers with Buckey Barnes, (Ultimate) Peter Parker with Miles Morales.

And those are just the ones that immediately come to mind. If I recall, there are Flash fans that grew up with only Wally West Flash and hate that Barry Allen is back in the costume, and I was certainly one of the fans who loved Bucky cap and was pissed when they seemingly killed him off so soon, again, during Fear itself and have Steve Rogers carry the shield again.

Now this scenario with Spidey is definitely different in that its still his body being taken over with a major Spidey Villain who now retains all of Peter's old memories and felt all of Peter's emotional pains that led to him becoming Spiderman, however, I am interested in seeing how long it takes Aunt May and the Avengers to realize what's up since no one knows what happened and he still retains Peter's memories.

As fans we are easily pissed off when things like this happen, but we also bitch and moan that we get the same old predictable stale stories where we already know how Peter will respond to a situation. So for the next few years we get a shit load of unpredictability... before it gets retconned for the release of Amazing Spider-man the movie part 2

Its just too bad this happened to a character who has already suffered the painful Clone Saga, One More Day and One Moment in Time events that have pissed of fans enough as it is to have this hit for issue number 700. My one gripe and then I'm done is this: Superior Spider-man, based off of Avenging Spider-man 15.1, is being portrayed in standard anti-hero fashion, why? There is a already that very character in the new Scarlet Spider. One of Peter's most successful character traits was that people relate to him. Who the hell can relate to Doc Oc with the addition of Peter's memories? I sure can't. I just want to see how it plays out.

That's the part that bothers me. I haven't read it yet but how the heck do explain this away? I know some really crazy shit happens in comics and we are always just supposed roll with it but how does a machine do the whole emotional transference thing? Usually when the mind swap thing goes down if the new personality gets all the memories of the host, and I don't even know if that's 50% of the time, they rarely are shown as morphing to carry around their emotions and views. Was there something special involved in this one?

check your IM. It was too much too explain on here. So I sent you something more tailored for you.

[trebleshot]

Some days I'm rather glad I don't collect comics any more.

To me it seems like the writers are missing the point entirely when it comes to Doc Ock. Oh, well. I've been through enough comic BS over the years (Greenskar mentioned some good ones) to let this go and see how they fix it down the line.

[Scythe]

I still like the ASM movie suit, though I'm glad the upcoming one looks even better.
