Weird how with all these announcements people are talking more about Gambit than Spider related news on a Spidey fan site...

Well, to be fair, there wasn't a whole lot of new announcements for Peter--more information about stuff we already know is coming out, like the upcoming Lizard arc and Spider-Men.

Actually Zach posted a whole slew of Spider related stuff on the front page...

With this weekend’s C2E2 Expo in Chi-town, there was a panel concerning ASM and the Spider-Family. Highlights include:

-Ryan Stegman is leaving the Scarlet Spider title, moving to Fantastic Four. His final issue is #6.

-Skittles the Penny Hooker Er, Anna Kraven is back to fight Kaine.

-Venom Fans learned that Flash and Crime Master are to Venom what Peter Parker and Norman Osborn are to Spider-Man

-Venom has to be the darker image of Peter Parker. According to Remender

-ASM writer Dan Slott talked Ends of the Earth: “In Ends of the Earth, we’ve seen Doctor Octopus’ opening gambit as we’ve seen he might have the cure to global warming. One of the people who doesn’t believe in Doc’s plan is Spider-Man. … I’ve done the math, and when this issue comes up this week, Steve Wacker will have edited one fifth of every single issue of ‘Amazing Spider-Man.’”

-End of the Earth will feature Silver Sable and Black Widow, as seen by the covers and solits.

-No Turning Back is the new storyline that picks up from the point one issue that was earlier this year in ASM, Slott is picking up from Wells’ Shed story and the events from Spider-Island will play a role in the status quo change of Morbius.

-Avenging Spider-Man will not only have the DD/Spidey/Punisher team-up that was hinted at in SDCC last year, but will feature the new Captian Marvel.

- Ultimate Gwen Stacy will be featured in Spider-Men.

-Very Goblin-Centric Story will occur after a two-parter that happens after No Turning Back.

-Hobgoblin and the Spider-Jammers will be in a story called Danger Zone.

-Mary Jane will have a big change in the Ends of the Earth.

-AvX ends right around ASM 700, having those seismic changes that occur in the series.

- An Image of Scarlet Spider, Venom and a tiny bottle with the Carnage symboite was revealed with the phrase Minimum Carnage.

More to come as the weekend develops.

Unless Gambit has gotten worse treatment than Spider-Man has after One More Day, you should know why.

Weelllll....nothing on the same level of OMD but he's been treated crappy a lot for several years. There was that whole Horseman of the Apocalypse thing and the recent looking like a kick dog for another. Thank god for Majorie Lui swear that woman has some what given Gambit some cred again.

Fair enough...I guess all that stuff just either not all that interesting, something that's already happening, or is just so far ahead that there's really not a whole lot to talk about. For example--Dan Slott is doing a Goblin arc after No Turning Back! Uh...okay? Stuff like Gambit and Hawkeye has a little more concrete stuff to talk about.

I dread the Slott/Ramos team up for the 50th anniversary. I'm more excited for Minimum Carnage, but even I am skeptical about how that will turn out, because it seems like a "Title first, plot later" premise. I would prefer if the end of this trilogy had Spider-Man, but so far it looks like a Venom/Scarlet Spider crossover, unless Peter shows up in the middle of the plot like Flash did in Carnage U.S.A.

I'm worried about Mary Jane's new status quo by the end of Ends of the Earth... Wait a minute, the June solicits.

Can Spider-Man sacrifice one life to save the entire planet?

OH THEY BETTER NOT.
