In The Mind of Spider-Plush

It's 2010. You stand before a building that seems to tower over you, with a bright banner sprawling across the front, blue bubbly letters on an orange and sunny background. "Summer of Reading!" You aren't the biggest fan of reading, but luckily over the seven years of your life, your dad has been filling your head with tales, collectibles and (although I couldn't touch them yet with my unpredictable and oily wild child hands), comics of flashy superheroes doing their best to be good people, and inspire others to find the strength to keep on. You wonder if the library has any comic books. Luckily, Marvel did this thing around 2006 where several smaller story arcs got hardcover reprints for library circulation. I'll never forget the taste of those hardcover corners... What? Sorry, got distracted... Where was I? Ah, right, "Marvel Age". These were usually modern retellings (or just a coat of new paint) of a couple of non-strictly related comics put in ...

This is the uncensored version. For the censored cut without all the swearing and the mentions of sex, click here. There are only 4 certainties in life: Death, taxes, Burger King messing up my damn order and having a Spider-Man review site look at Sins Past. You've seen everyone's reviews, you've seen everyone making fun of it (including Marvel themselves) and you even lived long enough to see it get retconned (Thanks, Nick Spencer). The story has it that in 2004, J. Michael Straczynski wanted to write a story about Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker's secret children that eventually tried to kill Peter... Odd, but okay. This is where Marvel's then editor-in-chief Joe Quesada comes in... So, Joe tells JMS that making Spider-Man have children would make the character seem like an old hag, and that would turn off new readers... Joe, I love you as much as I love my own son, but that is total bullshit, and you know it. You may be wondering, what happened last time? Well, Ezeki...

Hey kids! Time for the bedtime story, today we're reading about our favorite character, Spider-Man Well, let's have a look at this little story. Just let me tuck you in. Okay, ready? Well, let's begin. Our first character is Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, he is a nice young boy with the powers of a spider. Spidey has a wife by the name of Mary Jane, she is a pretty girl that enjoys acting in plays. May is Spider-Man's aunt, she likes taking care of Spidey. The Green Goblin is an evil meanie that constantly annoys Spidey with his evil plots to take over the world. Gwen Stacy is a former friend of Spider-Man who unfortunately... Uh... How do I put this... Well, she moved to a different country and cannot see Spider-Man anymore :( Gabriel and Sarah are brother and sister, pretty much inseparable, and they want to talk to Spidey. During breakfast at Aunt May's house, Peter is really sad because he can't see his friend Gwen anymore, so, with a bit of empathy, Gabriel ...

Originally reviewed on Wix back on January 29th, 2023. Gwendolyn Stacy was a character from the Amazing Spider-Man comic series, she first appeared in issue... I don't remember, but it was a Ditko issue. She was gorgeous, she was charming, she was perfect in every way. For a while, she was Spider-Man's girlfriend. Oh, and I suppose Mary Jane was there too. Spider-Man's biggest enemy of all time is the Green Goblin, aka Norman Osborn, a scientist CEO dude that had a little lab accident and now has another personality that thinks about nothing but mischief. Little problems that were presented in the series prior to this issue: Green Goblin knows Spider-Man's secret identity and everyone he loves, meaning that he can attack anyone at any point to hurt Spider-Man's feelings. Gwen Stacy does not like Spider-Man, I don't think she ever did, and she really started to HATE him because she believed that it was Spider-Man who murdered her father, George Stacy. The behind-...
