Is that really spiderman? It looks like venom. I don't like it, it makes him look too sinister.

Mixed feelings. I think it looks pretty cool, but that's not spiderman. I know Superheros go through costume changes, but not spidey. No sir, I don't like it. I could see it as some sort of alternate reality version. And I kind of agree with Evilester, it looks more like a symbiote, a good symbiote, but a symbiote nonetheless.

yeah not a hero look but I like it very much. Could just be that I'm more of a anti-hero person anyway though.

I wish they would just make a new character instead of rehashing old characters with new looks and ideas.

But what ever, at least they are trying something new, I will give them that.

and those arm things in the back look of no use either.

and the red/gold colors are more ironman colors.

they should have opted for a different combination.

Are those spider legs...part of the costume, or part of Spider Man?

With the recent storyline gone to hell, I don't really care anymore. They're change it back to the original costume as soon as they see the poor sales.

No that costume does´nt fit Spiderman one bit, would be more fitting on as you´ve mentioned "Venom" if they want to do an "extreme make-over" at all :P

Don't bring your video game "gimme innovation or I suck" logic to comic books, buddy.

Fuck innovation, give me good storylines and you'll get my money.

Not so much to do with innovation, I am just tired of Spider Man and insert comic book character here.

I agree that story matters over everything else, I would just like to see something new. Not necessarily innovative, just not Spider man.

The costume looks okay but it isnt Spiderman.

I've loved spidey since i was very young. I was him for Halloween on numerous times. Now, the costume is indeed boss, I do have no objections to it, but I'm curious to know the story for this comic book. Spidey is gettin old, he should pass his torch to a son or something.

Haha past the torch.

That will never happen.

Also there is Spider woman ;)

Have you guys even read the latest Spider Man issues?

Turns out the spider who bite Parker had powers due to the mystical nature, not from the radiation. The mystical spider was dying due to the radiation, and decided to past on its powers before it died. That was like rewriting his fucking origin there, which was fucked up bullshit. That ruined Spider Man a lot for me. Then, it went even further to say that there were other 'Spider people'; people who had the same powers as Spider Man, and they were chicken feed for some Morlun guy.

And the latest chapter had Peter 'die', and another Peter Parker emerging from a cocoon. Great fucking good job, writers. They should fire them all.

And Morlun ripped Spider-man's eye and broke MJ's arm or something, right?

I don't know, leave that stuff for the Ultimate line or something.

In any case, the costume is temporary at best.

It's not the first time Spidey has had a costume change and it won't be the last.

Meh.

Spider-man has stood the test of time because he's a great character.

Are you saying that out of two comics of the same quality, the one with a new character is inherently better?

Nigga please.

The costumes worn by the clone were...interesting. OK, actually, the Scarlet Spider one was fucking ghey, and the costume he wore after that was alright.

I liked his black and white costume the best though, but then Venom came along and he doesn't wear that shit anymore.

Morlun storyline was terrible. I can't believe the writers could ruin Spider Man in that way. Saying the spider who bit Parker was mystical in nature and didn't gain its powers through radiation was bullshit to me. I agree all that crap should be left in the Ultimate universe, away from the 616.

I know they're change the costume back as soon as they look at the poor sales. And they're fire all their writers too. What the hell is up with Marvel and shit storytelling and ideas?

I actually read that retailers are already adding Spidey to their pull list because of the costume.

I don't really care about changing Spider-man's origins or whatever but c'mon, ripping Spidey's eye out?

They're trying to be too edgy for their own good.

It's a marketing stunt, nothing more.

He'll be back to his old costume in no time.

PS:

Arguably the best Spider-man costume ever. Very modern, but still very true to the original.

Webshooters on the outside = teh win.

:headbang:

That costume was sweet.

I dont know why they cant make the new one a better version of that.

I havent read Spiderman for many years other than Ultimate but i have thinking about picking it up again now that i read comics again.

TRAVESTY IN THIS POST:
This is 100% true!

I just read that before Gwen Stacy died she had pity sex with Norman Osborn and she gave birth to twins.

What the FUCK is up with the Spider-man line?!

Also, LordMune is a flaming homosexual.
