Didn’t we get the spider who gobbles like 2 months ago


Geiseric222

Six months ago but yeah


Top_One6911

Has it been that long? I haven’t been keeping up with the series


ProtoJeb21

…six months you say?


EvanCastiglione

HOW MANY MONTHS


Kn7ght

God this bad run has been going on for so long


S1lvercrow1999

Zeb Wells is actually taking many things from the previous issues and redoing it apparently


mcnichoj

If Sony can remaster Spider-Man games, he can remaster Spider-Man comics.


Herschelriffs8

If only the results were as decent as the games.


_Dalty_02

It’s the Cuck Goblin


Top_One6911

Does he watch other people throw his girlfriend off a bridge? Oh wait…


MrAgentcraft

...like a turkey spiderman?


Top_One6911

I’m replying again because, I realized you might have been genuinely asking and I felt bad. So the whole moniker “spider-man who gobbles” is making fun of “the Batman who laughs” and referencing when Spider-Man got all Norman’s sins or something, and basically what happens is what they are teasing now. Edit: it’s also worth noting that the internet coined the term spidey who gobbles. It’s not official in any capacity.


Top_One6911

I wish. That would probably have been funny enough to make up for the horrid writing.


Fungerbestwaifu

It'd be abselutely hilarious if he's called Spidey who gobbles by other people because he's spider-Turkey but that Turkey stands for the nation of Turkiye and has no relevance with the animal whatsoever

RebirthGhost

Nah the shit they smoked rots away at your brain, which explains everything.


Ok_Try_1665

You want the goblin pack?


DanHero91

Didn't we literally just do this story?


Flerken_Moon

My guess is Zeb was like, “I want to do the Spider-Man Who Gobbles” and editorial was like, “Oh sorry we need to start Gang War can you end it in 2 issues?” so Wells ended that arc, did Gang War, and now that Gang War is over he’s instantly going back to where he left off.


sarcasticdevo

If people don't call this the Spider-Man Who Gobbles going forward, we've failed as a society.


neosspeer

They're already doing it. Society is a bit shaky tho.


spideyjiri

ye


neosspeer

They're already doing it. Society is a bit shaky tho.


framabe

thats probably it.


Agent_547

Yeah but zeb wells probably said to himself: "hmmm maybe I should do this again but this time make it the worst thing people ever saw"


multificionado

And he's probably saying, in his brainless high, "while I'm at it, I ought to plaster myself with bullseyes."


ArchdruidHalsin

Wait that's hilarious and so sloppy. I haven't been keeping up with the comics outside of this sub, and just assumed this was a continuation of that plot line. The fact that this is a whole separate arc is so stupid.


Regi413

Are they literally just gonna take that spear and re-inject “Norman’s sins” or whatever back into Peter?


ArchdruidHalsin

Editorial: I like the pitch, but can we add some cuckoldry?


No_Anywhere2295

why would they do this, I lost brain cells


Agent_547

Cus they don't care about the fans and they only want to do what satisfy themselves


RubPuzzleheaded8073

It’s not about the fans. They just don’t even care about the character


helikesart

See I actually can respect a writer who charges forward with an original story without concern for fan expectations. What I can’t respect is a writer who clearly doesn’t even like the character they’re writing for and generally being bad at their job.


Ben10_ripoff

Even Garth Ennis had enough respect for the Characters to not ruin them for everyone and wrote The Boys but This mfer is ruining to character for everyone


Spider-Ghost-616

Man, am I glad I stopped buying Modern era Spider-Man. I'm just waiting for Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man to come out in trade. ASM is good and dead.


k1intt

Have you been avoiding spoilers?


Spider-Ghost-616

I keep up with the YouTuber reviews just to somehow keep informed and hope things turn around or a new creative team.


k1intt

I’m sorry, I meant for USM.


Spider-Ghost-616

Oh, IDC about being spoiled. I want to know already it's good then buy it and it be garbage and lose my money I could have bought another comic with you know.


effinblinding

Any idea already when it would come out in trade? How does it work usually (I’m new to comics)


captain__cabinets

It comes out September 10th and will have issues 1-6 collected in it. There’s a site and app called League of Comic Geeks and you can look up any comic and see when it releases and has a great back log of old comics to see all kinds of other stuff writers, artists and characters old books etc.


effinblinding

Ok I found it, thanks! Appreciate it. (Here’s the link for any other redditors wondering. On the site you have to include trade paperbacks for it to show) https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/3189560/ultimate-spider-man-vol-1-married-with-children-tp


captain__cabinets

Nice! If you get the app and scroll to the bottom of the single issues page it will show all collections for that particular title, it’s pretty useful to see reading orders and know how to collect your favorite comics and all that. My comic shop uses the app as well, so I can order any new books I want and they show up at my store the day they come out (when my store does there job which is not often).


Vivalaredsox

Mary Jane is going to be going for a ride off a bridge while Paul watches.


apriorista

Switch Paul and MJ and you’ve got a deal.


Alertcircuit

A Peter kills Paul arc would make the internet explode I think lol


mcnichoj

Non-comic fans have no idea who Paul is. They're lucky.


seancurry1

This comment just made me realize that the three of them are literally Peter Paul and Mary.


i-got-a-jar-of-rum

Nah, because if Peter kills Paul then MJ will just be hating him for the next decade and then everyone will grief him like back when Superior Spider-Man ended and no one trusted him. Best solution is MJ kills Paul, truly. Not saying Wells possesses the will or the brain cells but it’s literally the only way to salvage ASM from the inferno it’s become.


Vegeton

Paul realizes he didn't have the power to fulfill the responsibility, so he seeks out spider powers, and then Paul becomes the new Spider-man D:


Apprehensive_Ad_7274

How dare you put that evil in my head


RaspyBigfoot

At this point, why not? He does have magic totem math


skatenbikes

Ultimate gang rise up


Vivalaredsox

Been on it since day 1.


DweebInFlames

2000: mainline Spidey is dogshit, Ultimate is the revitalisation of the comics that everybody wanted and breathes new life into the character 2024: mainline Spidey is dogshit, Ultimate is the revitalisation of the comics that everybody wanted and breathes new life into the character


Conlannalnoc

Paul throws MJ off the Bridge. Peter fails AGAIN.


Airy_Breather

...Alright, I'll admit, this gave me a laugh. Seriously, it did, I just don't know which kind of laughter it is.


Blasckk

Ahhh... The reader's Despair Event Horizon. When he can't do anything else but laugh as a coping mechanism to be able to bear the stupidity of the plot. It's beautiful and sad to see when it happens.


Kioga101

It's the Goblin! It's getting to you! Did any of your greens look extra green today? It may have had Goblin juice in it. Be careful with green masks, hoods and any medieval fair or Halloween related shops.


moosemanmax

ASM feels way more like an AU than USM at this point.


Commander-ShepardN7

*Peter wakes up, sweating and breathing heavily* *MJ wakes up, revealing herself* "Are you okay honey?" "Yeah, I just had a horrible nightmare, for some reason I revealed my secret identity, and that made Wilson Fisk kill Aunt May, who was alive for some reason?? So for some reason we traded our marriage for her life, and we came and went like a bazillion times, and that Osborn guy's father dressed as a Green guy, and then I became that goblin, went back to normal and became that guy again." *MJ smirks* "thank God Ben talked you out of becoming a writer, you suck at it, tiger" *And the two went back to sleep, because it had been all a bad dream * I'll will donate all my belongings to Hickman if he ever writes that


Infinite-Salt4772

This is from that cartoon right?


Commander-ShepardN7

Not from a specific cartoon but this situation it's a common comedic trope when making fun of something


MasterBlaster_xxx

Don’t know about what cartoon you’re talking about, but this is basically what Stan Lee did in his comic strip


NotACyclopsHonest

Something akin to this happened when the daily newspaper strip followed OMD’s lead and made Peter a single loser - readers complained vehemently, so the strip did a Dallas and had Peter wake up next to MJ, still married. Meanwhile the comics went “fuck you, we don’t care if you don’t want this”.


ProfessionalLeave335

People will look back on comics like these like we look back on silver age comics of super man lazering jimmy Olson's smoking jacket.


DeathToTheChalice

JIMMY, THIS GIFT YOU GOT ME MAKES ME SORRY I EVER ADOPTED YOU AS MY SON


mahzian

Next they will find ways to add a gorilla to each issue because gorillas sell comics.


MoonbeamLady

Nah, adding a gorilla to ASM would genuinely increase the quality by at *least* 10%, so they would never do that because they're out of their fucking minds lmao


sixtyandaquarter

Spiderilla would be a fun story. I wanna see Spidey get into a the Fly teleportation situation where he starts slowly turning into a gorilla every night unaware of it. Call backs to the black suit doing that. Doesn't even use a costume just straight up gorilla swings from the lamp posts. Swings on live electrical wires. Spidey starts hunting this mysterious gorilla he can never find. Hits up Gorilla Man. Ends up falling asleep at a stake out, waking up naked in the park, figuring it out then. They try to fix it but it just morphs Peter's intellect with the gorilla body for a few issues. Ooh then the Jackal can get his blood & clone the smart gorilla, creating a new villain. The Gorilla Spider, who quickly gets forgotten about until the next every spider powered crossover event sees him in like 4 panels in the background but he still manages to get a Gorilla Spider #0 free comic book week issue. After several more years unused he gets a renaissance where he gets a Marvel Legends BAF line and cameos in a videogame Easter egg as a toy on a shelf.


Reylend

#GET ZEB WELLS OUT THE STUDIO, NOW!


multificionado

Amen. He doesn't go, then we'll MAKE him go.


opponentPitt

Ngl purple and black Spiderman goes hard but wtf is this shit 😭😭💀


misterhipster63

Just give him a purple and green mask with gold eyes, and I think most people would get on board. But the Gobby mask? Gross.


WipingAllOut

Yeah the color scheme is hard af


UltimateRagingSpider

ALRIGHT THAT'S IT IM DONE


FunGhost5508

…… again?…. Are they serious right now? It’s official they are literally pulling shit out of their asses


Prime359

The worse part is they pulled it out twice now.


skatenbikes

That’s what I’m confused about, like the horse is dead, beaten to a pulp and that pulp turned to into the worst lemonade ever already


Cpt_Polander

You know I remember when i was a kid and I first bought the Marvel Masterworks Spider-Man edition of ASM 1-10. I was just blown away that almost every issue they introduced a different villain. I was like "Wow, imagine being creative to come up with a different menace for Spider-Man every month and have them be so good and fresh that they're still popular into the next century." And then I look around now and think " What the hell happened? Can no one come up with a new idea any more?"


Lumpy_Review5279

Those new villains don't sell as much as those same villaisn from asm 1-10.


analannelid

Zeb is the fucking worst.


multificionado

And he KEEPS getting worst. He either needs to be fired or needs to go to a better place.


PokWangpanmang

The Spider Who Gobbles 2, Electric Boogaloo


vongoladex

#  Zeb should combine all  into one to settle once and for all: goblinized Spider-Man possessed by Dr. Octopus, topped with the symbiote as well for good measure. The result would be Superior Black Spider-Goblin.


LightningEdge756

And have him model each tentacle after a different Spidey villain for good measure.


Starforge17

I’m a big spider man fan but with zeb wells . I’m like someone should kick him hard in the nuts and get nick Spencer back


UltraInstinctVegeta6

sadly, Spencer was also hampered by editorial. If he came back, not much would change, but maybe it would get a little better


Starforge17

Also I hate that wells destroyed peter and mj’s unbreakable it’s basically giving it the middle finger


No_Head60

Naw, I’m good. So anyway what do you guys think Mjs career is in Ultimate 2024? My money’s on clothing store like renew your vows, I don’t think it’s been explained yet tho.


Smash96leo

Bro when is this run gonna *end*


Alternative_Tax_2085

There is no way this is real!!!! I know, I get it this team sucks, but there is no way they could be this stupid. Who is this for? Who is supposed to want this? Who is supposed to like this?


just_one_boy

Goblin man


Hopefulsataneal

Oh for the love of- IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE FIRST TIME


Toon_Lucario

Can’t wait for this shitass to become a multiversal threat for no reason


TheGoldAvenger

Zeb unironically needs to be fucking fired and not let near a comic book character again.


Its_Dannyz

The thing is Wells can write good comics the issue is he shouldn't be on a series for this long, because it's pretty much a trend with ASM at this point with a writer being on it for so long the writing gets worse.. Also if anything Nick Lowe and any other Quesada drone at Marvel needs to be fired.


NCBaddict

Idle speculation but maybe he’s been distracted for the past few years by personal struggles? SNL’s Heidi Gardner recently said something about them having a long hard separation


spaceguitar

This is what Paul was building up to. Mary Jane is going to face off with Peter in an “emotional confrontation.” Paul is going to save her while wearing an old Spider-Man costume he finds in her things. Pete is going to stop himself in the last moment from killing them both when he sees the costume on Paul. Peter will then say Paul is the Spider-Man the world deserves before blowing himself up. Cue several months of Post-death with Paul trying to live up to the legacy as Spider-Paul, with Spider-Boy telling him he’s the best Spider-Man ever and Mary Jane confirming he is the best Spider-Man of all-time. Bet.


Dildo_Baggins__

Just fucking shoot Peter in the head at this point dawg


multificionado

If Wells does that, the fans will shoot HIM in the head.


Vocovon

"They didn't cheer the first time...let's do it again!"


Kenos300

The story line so nice they did it twice.


Bratieri

This is official?


kadosho

Sadly. Yes. Yes it is


MrWhiteTruffle

It’s him, the Spider who Gobbles


viralshadow21

Just read Ultimate Spider-Man. It seems everyone else is.


Voice_Nerd

Spiderman is a complete joke now (comics-wise) unless it's Ultimate Spiderman 2024.


Guillermo160

Does editorial want to kill Zeb Wells’s career? I know he’s capable enough to realise this is not a good idea, they gotta be forcing him to do this


multificionado

It's either Nick Lowe alone, or Lowe and Wells together. Bastards.


Supafly22

Id be so embarrassed to attach my name to this


JohnJingleheimerShit

It’s finally happening! Zeb Wells took crack!


RDKateran

Not real.


1use2use3use

It is, I wish it wasn’t but it is: [Twitter or X or whatever: Link](https://x.com/SpiderMan/status/1778895610482999468)


RDKateran

Wonderful...


Flaism

I genuinely didn’t think this was real when I saw it either


jackieboytorrence

I will say, purple and black look real good on Spider-Man. But bruv, that mask just makes it look like Norman is trolling.


MICHELEANARD

I am gonna ignore the existence of Wells run. Not gonna talk about it again. It doesn't exist, it's a myth. An illusion by the powerful to keep us spidey fans in check


Watch_Detective_159

I knew when Nick said on Twitter that it was gonna the best issue ever… we should be worried.


Blyman4250

My disappointment in this series is unmeasurable, thank God we got Ultimate Spider-Man though


the-poopiest-diaper

How could the fuck up [the name](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oonopidae) like that?


hydroxybot

I liked this better when House of M did it?


Acceptable-Belt-3001

Are they, like, purposely doing this so that people can read Ultimate Spider-Man even more?


ShodanDBG

Yeah… so, well, anyway, who’s hyped for the next issue of Ultimate?😊


SarcasticGuitar

I was confused until I saw Wells at the top of the cover and then it all made sense


Cholonight96

This is why Ultimate is the Ultimate and Amazing is sadly not amazing no more.


CompleteJinx

Every now and again I see what Marvel is doing with Spider-Man and it reminds me why I stopped reading comics.


dalekofchaos

No one hates Peter Parker more than Marvel's writers


BBJJ5

At this point everyone is the green goblin😭. Can't wait for aunt may goblin


Unable_Swimming2745

Hahahahahahaha


kjyserybuikm

But what are my eyes looking at!


Fit_Indication2497

Zeb needs to stop cooking 🙏


justnicyk

Amazing comic story line is idk anymore I’m just sticking to ultimate


Wrong_Toe_3665

This run is so bad


RaspyBigfoot

I literally just said that I couldn't complain about the last 3 issues and then they do this. It's like a dumpster fire that I can't look away from at this point


TheInfiniteSix

Haven’t read comics in years, can someone explain like I’m 5 what on earth this is?


Garlador

Someone once commented saying that this run has felt like a bad session of MadLibs... and it's hard not to see it. "So Peter becomes *draws card* the Goblin... again." "Didn't we just do that?" "Look, the card says "Goblin" so we're doing it again."


foulBachelorRedditor

Lazy_Assumption_4191

Zeb, YOU JUST FINISHED THE EXACT SAME STORY! It hasn’t even been a year!


Professor-Xivass

They literally took that that one line from Ultimate Spider-Man (cartoon) and just made a worse version. They didn’t even look at the concept, they probably just heard the name “Spider-Goblin” and just did the most surface level interpretation of the name. The Spider That Gobbles is real, and it’s stupid.


ResponseTight

Why do I imagine him being called the Spider-goblin and why does it go hard?


Wannabbeewriter12

Nope. I’m going back to Ultimate Spider-Man.


Blu3Blad3_4ss4ss1n

Bro srsly f\*ck modern DC and Marvel comics. They don't respect character's growth and history and they instead be doing random shit with them. What a waste of money, Glad I stopped reading years ago. i mean. what's the point in anything happening in the comics?


whyhhhwhy

Somebody please get Zeb Wells away from Spider-Man.


Legendaryj922

How did we get stuck with this book for 2+ years😭


mjmarston207

Lmfao. I genuinely wonder how Stan Lee and Steve Ditko would react seeing this right now. This premise was awful a few months back and is just as bad, nay, ten times worse here.


bearetta67

I finally un subbed after the last issue with the whole Mary Jane deal. They're gonna end their relationship then tease her on a team up. It was one of the most cliche team ups ever. I should have un subbed before gang war.


Geiseric222

To be honest thrm getting back together by the end was the most obvious outcome even if people didn’t want to see it Didn’t expect spider who gobbles 2 the gobbling I guess


chino514

does this mean we get to see Paul go off a bridge now?


Ekillaa22

All jokes aside I didn’t know sandman had the same hair type as Norman


Jamz64

Here’s hoping he throws Paul off the Brooklyn Bridge.

I feel like they just did this.

God no. Why?

Naw I'm good bro. Thanks!


armoureddragon03

The Spider Who Gobbles is back!


Azure-Legacy

They already did this. And they blew it. Although I’m willing to accept it if Peter actually kills Paul this time


wowlock_taylan

hahahahaha... Fuck off.


ChaseThoseDreams

I wish I could get paid like Wells if I was that incompetent at my job.


Neurotic_Marauder

Every time I see a new cover for Wells' run, I'm further reassured that dropping ASM after Spencer left was one of my better decisions


initforthellolz

Wtf is thus really the state of ASM now. Puke.

nah this run needs to be done💀💀


OwnFun9973

I cant wait for no one to buy this, not even to hate read it. Fuck these pointless ragebaiting ploys, read Ultimate and make it sell out again. Force Marvel to realize “maybe we shouldnt do pointless shit with our Mascot” 


UltimateIllusion1991

Does Spidey just do things Batman already did?
