Why I like Scarlet Spider

Six scans from Scarlet Spider #5


For those who are unaware, the series follows Kaine (yes, the clone) in Houston after he failed to leave things alone and guilt-tripped himself into protecting the city.

And somehow, he's made friends with a doctor, a policeman (who you'll see down in the scans, who's married to the doctor)  a barmaid, and a teenage girl who's an illegal immigrant who he personally protects because of reasons.

It's awesome.

And while he keeps insisting he's the bad guy, Houston adores their new hero. And he can't bring himself to prove them wrong.

Although sometimes:







In this issue, they're looking for a nuclear bomb that's set to blow up the area, and their biggest lead offs himself.




And, you guessed it, the spiders tell him where the bomb is!










The usual art's better, but this issue's cool too. I loved this one because, aside from being completely pointless to the rest of the series (because that's always fun), it basically shows how Kaine tries to be that dark, broody guy who needs to give everything up and run, and fails.

He makes friends, he protects people, he (despite what he says) likes being the hero people love.

It's a gem, really, it is.

So this is a different Scarlet Spider from the other one?

And he has Peter's pre-OMD powers?

And they added Agent Coulson to the Marvel 616 Universe?

Bah Gawd, through Hellfire and brimstone, it's Kaine!

...sorry, just had to.

In fairness, he and Kraven seem to have quite the slobberknocker coming up.

Not only has Coulson appeared in the 616 MU, but so has Nick Fury's son, who looks like Samuel L. Jackson and also goes by the name of Nick Fury.
