What We Mostly Loved About Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. Apparently spiders can reboot their movie franchises twice in 15 years. The web-head made his feature debut in the Marvel cinematic universe, and it wasn’t horrible at all. Join Patricia Hernandez and me as we discuss Spider-Man: Homecoming Fahey: First off, let’s establish a baseline. I have seen…

Spider-Man Cosplay Is Coming Home

A new Spider-Man movie is out this week, and Spider-Man cosplayers are clearly feeling excited, especially if they happen to live in New York City and can take photos that look this good/appropriate. Spider-Man is TrevRay, while photos were taken by Jason Laboy. There are more shots, including Iron Man and some street thugs, at…

Spider-Man Cosplayers Fill Airplane 

Budget carrier Jetstar unveiled a Spider-Man themed plane in Japan and filled it with Spider-Man cosplayers. This is part of Jetstar’s summer campaign, which is tied to the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming. The Spider-Man plane isn’t so amazing, but look at all these friendly neighborhood cosplayers on this motherfucking plane taking off from Tokyo bound…

Small Fire Interrupts E3 Spider-Man Panel

Earlier this week, Insomniac were hosting an E3 panel about their new Spider-Man game. The show ended up being postponed, though, when audience members noticed that there was a small fire up on stage blowing smoke across the stage. Turns out that one of the lights above the stage had caught fire, and so all…

The New Spider-Man Game Won’t Let You Kill Anybody

This year’s Sony E3 conference closed on an impressive demo of Insomniac’s upcoming open-world Spider-Man game. I checked out an alternate playthrough and on the show floor, and while creative director Bryan Intihar was tight-lipped when it came to specifics, he did give me a handful of interesting tidbits. Spider-Man will never kill anybody You…

PS4’s Spider-Man Looks Like A Rush, Out In 2018

Insomniac’s Spider-Man, first shown at last year’s E3 (and which despite the timing has nothing to do with the new movie), looked promising today with a demonstration of high-flying gameplay. This looks cool. Like Insomniac may have figured out what was so great about Spider-Man 2’s web-slinging, but also found a way to work some…

Spider-Man Knows How To Protest In 2017

Spider-Man, being a good guy, knows that there are more dangers to the innocent than supervillains and Sony’s film division. So like many others in 2017, he’s taken to the streets to protest. MoonSpider was at the LA Women’s March on January 21, which was one of the biggest protests on a day of action…

Spider-Gwen Cosplay Does Whatever A Spider-Gwen Can

Just as Spider-Gwen’s character design is some of the coolest in modern comics, so too is most of the cosplay based on her. In this case, it’s Hendotaking to the rooftops of LA for this awesome shoot by Vincenzo Spina, who by night is a photographer but by day is actually a Presentation Director at…

On YouTube, Millions Watch Shows For Children Made Entirely In GTA V

GTA V is rated M, meaning it is intended for people aged 17 and above. And yet, on YouTube, some people use GTA V to make shows for children, some of which get millions of views per episode. Kids are big business on Youtube, and many of thelargest channels on the servicecater specifically to them.…

Get Me Cosplay Pictures Of Spider-Man!

This is TrevRay Cosplay, hitting the streets of New York to get some very authentic-looking shots of Spider-Man in action. Before you ask, no, we did not pay $300 for them. All photos by Jason Laboy. You can see more shots at Jason’s site

PS4 Is Getting A New Spider-Man Game

Tonight at Sony’s E3 Megapalooza, the PlayStation makers announced a PS4-exclusive Spider-Man game from Insomniac, the studio behind Ratchet & Clank and Sunset Overdrive “Take control of an experienced Peter Parker who is more masterful at fighting crime,” reads the blurb beneath the teaser. No origin story then, it seems. Yes, please.

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers adds a complimentary six-pack of spiders today. Now that Peter Parker is established in the Marvel cinematic universe, he gets to be in the game based on it. The Spider-Man Character Pack is available for free starting today across all versions of the game.

Spider-Man And Iron Man Have Beef Now

Spider-Man and Iron Man have been on-and-off allies for decades and worked in close partnership on the Avengers. Nowadays, they’re more like frenemies. It used to be that Peter Parker and Tony Stark saved the world in differently scaled adventures. The wall-crawler was more of a street-level guy while the armored genius fought everywhere from…

Spider-Man as a Samurai

This works way better than I thought it would. Via Japaaan, Bandai is releasing a samurai version of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Previously, Bandai did the same for Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and a Sandtrooper. Very cool how Spider-Man’s web motif is incorporated into the samurai armor. The samurai Spidey will be out this August…

That Time Max Landis Wrote Fan Fiction About A Loser Spider-Man Villain

12 years ago, Max Landis wasn’t a Hollywood screenwriter yet. He was just another guy writing fan-fiction about C-list Spidey villain The Shocker. Yeah, the guy who wears a quilted unitard. The Shocker is a Spider-Man villain who’s been a joke for years. Decades, even. He’s so much of a never-was that other lame bad…

Peter Parker This Ain’t

Cosplayer Pierre Demery is looking good here as Miles Morales, aka the new Spider-Man

Spider-Man Is Totally Okay With Letting Someone Else Be Spider-Man

The original wall-crawler is a little salty about Miles’ costume, though. Because even he has to admit that it’s cooler. Spoilers follow. For those who may not know who Miles Morales is, he’s a teenage Spider-Man from a now-dead alternate universe. He started webbing up bad guys after the death (and eventual resurrection) of that…

Sorry, Peter Parker, But Miles Morales Is The Better (Young) Spidey

Marvel’s putting out two comics with teenage Spider-Men in lead roles. Spidey features a young Peter Parker at the start of his crime-fighting career; Spider-Man serves to introduce Miles Morales into the newly revamped Marvel Universe. I was afraid that one book would be a carbon copy of the other but, thankfully, that’s not the…

In Space, Venom Is Much More Than A Tired Spider-Man Villain

Between the glut of appearances following the debut of Spider-Man’s nemesis in the late ‘80s and his mediocre appearance in 2007’s Spider-Man 3, Venom was all but dead to me. But now he’s Venom: Space Knight, and I can’t get enough. If you had told me six months ago my second favorite (Squirrel Girl forever)…
