Back in high school I read every single Spider-man comic (excluding the news paper comic, Spider-man loves Mary Jane, and any non-english exclusive comics). It took me months to get through them all, completely legally for sure. I later did the same with Iron-Man and failed to do it with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men (the early ensemble comics are a trudge).
I wanna read all the Spider-mans again, despite knowing that it's a terrible idea.
This got me thinking about what I didn't like about the Spider-Verse comics (movie was great).
The concept is great. A bunch of spider-peeps teaming up to protect each other from a common threat. Amazing, no notes.
The details though? I've always hated the Spider totem thing they keep trying to use. Peter was just a normal kid who happened to get powers and his big theme is how to handle that responsibly. He's not some mythical champion destined to save the world. The key is that anyone could've been him.
Also, who cares about Morlun and the Inheritors? They're a cardboard prop that's thrown out as an excuse for the event. Spider-man has so many iconic villains that would've worked better. Hell, Spider-verse is just a rehash of The Gauntlet storyline on a multiverse scale.
They could've used the Sinister Six instead. One of them calling in their multiverse counter-parts to clean house.
