Another new Spiderman costume

[emeraldknight47]

I swear, If I ran Marvel I'd fire everyone who didn't draw right out of the old John Romita style guide.

What the hell did they do to Doc Ock?! He looks like THIS people...

Amen, brutha!

THAT is Doc Ock? I am so glad I gave up on Marvel a long time ago. Not that I still read DC anymore for that matter. Gave up on them last year. What a bunch of junk.

I'm guessing the green goo is suppose to be "ink?"

I'm now convinced that both companies are trying to come up with as many alternate versions of their main characters as possible to get it on record so we don't see another "Image" fiasco where they take existing characters, do a few minor tweaks, give it an obvious name, and put them in stories straight from the headlines.

I swear that has got to be what they are doing...it's got to be...

Hmmmm....

I think the new print techniques available for comics is a mixed blessing. Over the last decade or so, the available techniques, colours and overall improved technical quality to the art allows the cartoonist a lot more in terms of what they can do. Unfortunately, I think this instills a tendency to overdo it, hence the weird, overwrought Warhammer 40K-esque designs.

I recall a time when Spider-Man's real costume was destroyed/stolen or something, and he had to go into battle in a cheap Halloween version. It kept coming off, he even had to web his boots up. Now he walks over to his walk-in closet "Hmm...do I feel like white today? Maybe black? Hows about Halo Exo-Suit?"

Ugh... Everything is armor these days. What the h*ll...

Everything in the 90's was jackets and grinding teeth, they just follow whatever trend is in at the moment.........

I don't think this s a reaction to DC's new 52. Spiderman's been getting on average new Special mission suit once or twice a year now for a while. Inevitably a few months later a new action figure is released by Hasnro which reelects the new (temporary sales bump) look.

What takes the cake for me is that the Amazing Bag Man is being made into a figure... Which probably indicates a certain desperation for Spiderman variant costumes to make into toys. Although it WAS designed by McFarlane.

I don't think folks had a chance to blink after this one debuted last year before he started wearing the white FF uniform.



Lo and behold not long after



Year before that we had this one

[MIB41]

Is it just me or are comics just becoming fashion shows for nerds?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Actually Ron Frenz designed Bag Man. I have that comic. It was a RIOT. But again, Spidey had to resort to that just to get home. Nowadays he'd have Stark International design him one and send it over. Sigh.

I just can't get into Spider-Man anymore...He's too popular within the Marvel Universe, being an Avenger, on the F.F., buddies with Iron Man, for someone that was always the underdog...

In Spider-man vs Wolverine, he was stuck on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall and stole a costume that had "Die Spinne" on the back of it.

Ah yes, that's right... McFarlane's first was the 1st appearance of Venom wasn't it? Bag Man would have been before that, when he tried to get rid of the symbiote outfit.
