I am so excited to see what the actual final Spidey suit in the MCU will look like. From everything I have read and seen hinted at so far, it seems to me it may be very heavily inspired by the original suit with the smaller eyes, web-pits, red and black color scheme instead of red and blue, and the original back and front spider-logos. Maybe we will even see the belt spot-light, and utility belt with spare web cartridges.
Axel Alonzo considers Slott to be the Michael Jordan of comics?
… someone tell that man to piss in a cup.
I’d like to throw out a speculation I’ve had for Spider-man’s new direction: is Peter Parker suddenly a tech guru so that the big box stores can sell Spider-man action toys? I’m a bit of a toy collector and I constantly see Spider-man packed in with some vehicle or such–the other day I saw a Playskool Spider-man with a motorcycle. Do an image search for “playskool spider-man” and you’ll find Spider-man packed in with a Spider-van, a Spider-copter, a Spider-base playset, complete with a Prometheus Engineer Head Fixation size Spider-man head…
Brad, if you haven’t seen Bruce Campbell in a film called _Bubba Ho-tep_, you should…Bruce is in fine form in that film playing someone who might be Elvis Presley, aging less than gracefully in a haunted and decrepit Texas nursing home. Ozzy Davis plays someone who might be JFK. It’s directed by Don Coscarelli and has a great soundtrack by Bryan Tyler. It’s an almost perfect low budget horror film.
