Amazing Spider-Man #14

[cyberghostface]

(Basically the red crystal holds the essence of Morlun's father)



Spider-Man brings him to "Uncle Ben"'s dimension which is filled with radiation which is toxic to Morlun and co. Morlun says that this will kill him, and Spider-Man tells him to go to the bomb shelter. It will keep him alive, but barely.

I did NOT see the death of the master weaving coming. Kinda makes you wonder if the weaver itself saw it coming? Man.....thats gotta have some major reprecusions for the multiverse.

P.S.

Did Kane make it? Please tell me Kane lived.

That was an incredibly underwhelming ending. Most of the conflicts were solved off screen, Peter never did anything really relevant and lots of wasted opportunities.

May scenes were great but well, I was expecting more from an ending you know?

Is equally parts amusing and depressing that the mobile game managed to do more with the multiple spidermen concept.

On what planet is Daemos grateful for mercy?!

Really underwhelming. Not really sold on Spider-Man/Silk. (Especially with the new Spider-Man film reboot coming.)

Camuncoli's really improved, though.

And then with the death of the Master Weaver, all of the Spider-People killed by the Morluns came back to life, thereby rendering this entire event as completely & utterly pointless.

Ah, I can dream.

you know if they really want a scene where Otto can show up Peter he should tell him something like "If you would have killed me it would have been more merciful for you, myself, and the world."

They missed a Spider totem. The best one too.

I'm honestly surprised and disappointed they didn't have Eric "Spider Hero" Brooks slaughter the Inheritors.

The conclusion/solution was... frustratingly underwhelming.
Because look, yeah, I know that Spider-Man as a rule and heroes in general shouldn't kill. But these guys-this entire family-have been chowing down on Spider-people for a long time. They've slaughtered dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands, sometimes right in front of our heroes. Hell, imagine that you've just seen other versions of yourself die in front of you. Literally seeing yourself die, over and over and over.

And the best solution is to stuff these guys in a bunker on an uninhabited, radioactive world? Where they can barely survive and presumably can't escape? Because that works so well. How long before they are rescued/find a way off that rock/steal a passing spaceship/I don't know what else, and are back somehow?

I know, I know, heroes don't kill. And maybe we'll get lucky, and Earth-3145 will promptly be destroyed by an incursion and we'll never see Morlun and his clan again.

For that matter, I wonder if that's why we'll see Spider-Verse in Secret Wars: the mass annihilation of universes (where it suddenly dwindles to 22 or so left) literally means some of the Spiders can't go home again. Surviving because they were absent from their home universes during the big wipeout.

Legitimate question right now; Do you think that Marvel would have given Dan Slott the length of tenure (4 years since he took over as primary writer with Big Time) and creative latitude that they have if they'd had the rights to the movies?

It seems to me that outside of the pretty short ASM2/Electro tie-in, Slott's been more or less allowed to do his own thing because having a "classic" version of the character wasn't a priority. I'm curious if the new Marvel/Sony "joint custody" deal might mean that Spider-Man will be slated for some sort of change up.

Wait, was Spider-Ham naked?

[bizarrohulk]

Don't the Inheritors need to consume the life-force of sentient beings to survive? In which case, stranding them on a dead world with no means of escape is tantamount to a death sentence anyway.

[cypherfdp]

Two important questions, did Benji make it, and did Leopardon come back?!
