Drunkenly, or just as the result of alien spores?

And Spidey's perfected his ability to swing from air, I see.

[sir_mikael]

I'm sure Nick Fury has provided Spidey with a band of helicopters to swing off of.

[jcbaggee]

I would love to see this occur.

[sir_mikael]

Get the pilots a mini-series. Glorified limo drivers are what they'd be. That must be annoying to S.H.I.E.L.D agents.

Reminds me of in one of the spider-man games you had to swing on Mysterios drones out to the Statue of Liberty. And that really really old game with mummies and stuff where you could swing of helicopters and a fake Moon before it fell down on you (hey Mysterio was the bad guy there too).

Love the icon.

[auggie18]

Not air. Pigeons. He's swinging from pigeons.

[robogeek]

Sea Turtles, mate.

[cainofdreaming]

Gamera? Isn't that a bit undignified for a monster movie icon? Though, yeah, he hasn't worked for a while and the economy being what it is I guess it's understandable he'd hire out for an occasional oddjob.

[darkknightjrk]

I'd make a joke about whether African Sparrows could fly with that kind of weight, but it'd be too obvious.

[halloweenjack]

He's finally caught up to 616 Spidey, who was once shown swinging past the Empire State Building observation deck on a webline which was definitely not attached to that building.

[nezchan]

He's not even swinging, he's just kinda hanging there. I want his next line to be "Little help?"

[kamino_neko]

Does Johnny know she's a clone of Peter? THAT is the question.

[dorksidefiker]

... I have to get the next issue. Just to find out of he does or not, and what his reaction is IF he finds out.

[felinephoenix]

Is it weird that I'm really hoping Johnny doesn't mind? Like, at all.

[ninjapeps]

not yet. so far, he's seen and talked to her once but that's it.

[thatnickguy]

Man, did this comic ever go down in quality in a heartbeat.

[taggerung301]

*shrugs
it's a little different now, but I personally still enjoy it
I still miss Bagley's art though :(

[sir_mikael]

I totally thought you meant you posted it cus they're all turned away from us and it's butt-week.

That is an insanely cool (and new I think?) way of illustrating Bobbys ice platforms/slides/whatever the hell they're they called again. Not liking his spikey head though. Looks silly.

I love these guys' frindship!
Oh and I cannot believe they used a Ultimate Version of somone as obscure as DeathAdder and made him female to boot :P

But yes, next issue will be fun. Imagine Peters reaction! Imagine Jessicas! Imagine Johnnys when he learns the truth!

[ninjapeps]

I totally thought you meant you posted it cus they're all turned away from us and it's butt-week.

you know, that thought didn't even cross my mind.

[sir_mikael]

Whatever you say, Harry.
Hey, how's the pie?

[sianmink]

"That is an insanely cool (and new I think?) way of illustrating Bobbys ice platforms/slides/whatever the hell they're they called again."

Yeah, the old ones weren't enough of a lethal hazard to bystanders when they melted.

[auggie18]

What is with Bobby's hair? Go back to the Do-rag, it looked less stupid.

[worldwillshout]

This may be the one and only time I will agree with the statement "go back to the do-rag, it looked less stupid."

[cleome45]

[dies laughing]

[sir_mikael]

Maybe he needed the do-rag to get this concealed? You know like some ppl have expanding hair and needs to keep it down by means of hats and do-rags. Not sure that would work on Icicles but still.

[auggie18]

I prefer bald Bobby to this. And that's saying a lot.

Just not a huge of fan of how this artist does Iceman. Chubby when he isn't iced up, weird hair when he is.

[neuhallidae]

Great, now I have visions of Shepherd Book and the whole "But it'll always be there... lurking..." bit.

[fifth11]

[kamino_neko]

I was going to say just that... Say what you will about the do-rag, it's not...this.

[tacobob]

I'm wondering how long that ice stays up there before it falls apart while melting, which in turn probably kills a few dozen people. >:|

[auggie18]

I liked the explanation in X-Factor, when they just had Rusty chasing after Iceman and melting his ice slides.

[sir_mikael]

That kind of ice slides better have been the kind that touches down every one in a while to support the weight. Cus if it's only attached at the start (which sometimes u see, and makes no real world sense) Rusty would just be making Iceman Doink into the ground.

[auggie18]

Actually, Rusty would run in after Bobby was done using them. I think he waited a bit.

And yes, I'm pretty sure they were the kind that touched the ground every once and a while.

[citygod]

Even then, how are they so high? He's a couple of dozen stories off the ground there! (I'm always surprised that we get upset about the improbability of Spiderman's web-lines, but Iceman is sliding along giant ice structures hanging in mid-air...)

[terrykun]

"Don't judge my love." *gigglefits*

[sethgray]

So has anything interesting ever been done with the fact that Spider Woman basically thinks she's a guy?

[q99]

Her gender identity hasn't been discussed. *Does* she think of herself as a guy, or a girl with the memories of a guy?

[colonel_green]

I'd have to think it would be the first. From "her" perspective, Peter went to sleep one night and woke up suddenly in a woman's body. Whatever subsequent revelations/choices made, on some level Jessica is just Peter whose life-path wildly diverged.

[q99]

If I was doing it I'd agree, but note how quickly she accepting being 'Jessica Drew'.

She might be female-brained despite the memories.

[ninjapeps]

she's already had at least a year to adjust so she's probably more used to it now compared to back during Ultimate Clone Saga. I think she still sometimes forgets she's not Peter Parker, as evidenced in that scene during Ultimatum where she runs into Aunt May.

[q99]

Well, whether she's Peter or not, it's *still* always gonna be 'Aunt May' :)

[felinephoenix]

Ditto. Heck, if you want to compare it to the other Clone Saga -- Ben and Kaine were still attached to Aunt May and Uncle Ben, even though they'd "moved on".

[terrykun]

Not yet, but we're all looking forward to her meeting Gwen and/or MJ.

Or Black Cat.

[retro_nouveau]

At first I was going to motto sir_mikael - a triple-shot for butt week?

Then I thought about what a good number of people have been wanting for a while...

[nezchan]

That's what I'm waiting for, at least.

[milleniumrex]

The blurb poses so many interesting questions about Peter and Johnny's friendship...

[pyrotwilight]

Johny/Kitty/Jessica three way? Ah well, 2 for 3 is fine for now.

[cmdr_zoom]

and his Amazing Friends!
