HAIL!!! GOD HELP!!!! ALLFATHER OF CARE!!! HAIL!! SEPIA PEOPLE OF THE BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW SPECTRUM!! WELL I WAS ALWAYS A SPIDERMAN FAN AND I USED TO DREAM ABOUT A BLACK CHARACTER OF SPIDERMAN, BUT I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO "PETER". SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE WAS LIKE MINE AS A YOUNG BLACK CHILD. GOD, IT MUST'VE TOOK A HELL OF A SUPER CRIMMIAL TO KILL HIM IF THAT INDEED HAPPENED. THIS GUY IS SIMPLY "UNCANNY" WHAT COULD HAVE KILLED HIM? DARN, I BEEN AWAY TO LONG. GOT "CAPTAIN AMERICA" TOO. OH YEA, YOU GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT OF SOMEBODY OR SOMEHTHING SOMETIME IN LIFE. IT'S IMMATURE TO THINK YOU WON'T. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT THOUGH. THAT'S WHAT PETER PARKER AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH "J. JONAH JAMERSON" SHOWED AND TAUGHT ME AFTER MY DADDY DID. WITH ALL HIS POWER, TO DO WHAT HE WANTED TO DO, HE HAD TO TAKE IT OUT OF HIS BOSS "J. JONAH JAMERSON." WHY? FOR ONE THING, "PETER" WAS AMOUNG THE WORKING POOR AND HE WAS A UNIVERSITY STUDENT, SO TO BE SPIDERMAN HE HAD TO EAT VORACIOUSLY OR HE'D EASILY STARVE TO DEATH. THAT'S WHERE HE SPENT MOST OF HIS MONEY UNTIL HE MET "MR. FANTASTIC" AND "THE FANTASTIC FOUR". IT WAS "REED RICHARDS", MULTIBILLIONARE THAT GAVE HIM HIS "OWN PERSONAL FANTASTIC FOUR CREDIT CARD" BECAUSE HE ALWAYS ADMIRED "PETER" AS WELL AS "CAPTAIN AMERICA"( STEVE ROGERS). THEN HE DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT OF ANYBODY. WHICH GOES TO SHOW AGAIN, THERE IS AN END TO ALL THINGS. BYE MY PEOPLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, DAMN ITS HOT. LOVE Y'ALL.

I'm glad to see Stan Lee going into a different direction for the spider-man character. If it's one thing I always love about Marvel Comics it's the diversity of characters that Stan Lee came up with for different cultures of people.
I would love to see how the new kid who's playing spider-man will adjust in these big shoes that Peter Parker played for so long. I'm quite sure this spider-man will meet villians from a different village of crime life. The changes he will endure should help build his character in the long run.

this is NOT the Amazing Spiderman people. This is The Ultimate Spiderman. The entire story line takes place in an alternate reality. Rest assured Peter Parker is STILL the Amazing Spiderman.

I was a long time Marvel comic reader in the 60's & 70's and I'm not feeling this "Hand-me-down" superhero crap,.. They need to be more original, That's something Marvel had no problem doing...

Why is a comic book charaters Race really Important the whole Super Hero deal is to save live in peril no matter who or what they are?
Max obviously didn't pick up that life lesson from them but hey ,you never mentioned a damn thing when they switch the green latern to a black man ha ! take that and smoke it Max and remember stop hating on the New world you're still living in it untill you die be happy and learn to live with others

Thanks Stan, you are the man. This is why Marvel Comics is the best. You were/are a visionary. I really appreciate you as a man and human being. This is why the marvel franchise will never die.
