Welcome back, old friends.

Spider-Man ‘94 may bill itself as a continuation of the show, but it’s got classic Spider-Man comics blood flowing in it as well. It’s a mix of the familiar and fresh, expected and surprising.

So far, I’m enjoying that cocktail.

@jmdematteis.bsky.social AND @straczynski.bsky.social both with a Spider-Man comic releasing this week is spoiling me. Both are considered two of the finest writers of their craft, and I'm excited to see what both have to offer.

As should ANY fan of fun and interesting comics!

Hitting comic shops one week from tomorrow! Words by me, interior art by Pere Pérez. A story about Peter, Harry, Gwen and MJ during their time at Empire State University, with a ridiculously dangerous addition to Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery.

Feels like yet another good time to plug our pro-marriage Spider-Man Discord too and keep the momentum going. Would love to see fans there!

A TON of editorials have been slamming “One More Day” lately and saying Spider-Man benefits from growth and even marriage.

… Rock On!🤘

Now, what can we actually do about it? Ultimately editorial will have their way with the characters, but every creator I’ve spoken to has said to vote with your wallet, email them, and get organized.

If you want married Spider-Man back too, here’s our Discord.

I’ll pound the pro-marriage drum for 616 Spider-Man comics any day, and take any chance to boost articles and comic professionals advocating for its return.

We’re 18 years in, and fans are LOUDER than ever to fix “One More Day”. It’s heartwarming to see.

“One More Day is Spider-Man’s worst story. [It] will never get re-evaluated, as some bad stories do in the future, because of the damage done to the Spider-Man comics by it.”

So long as fans speak out and vote with their wallets, things CAN get better.

If I could hang out with one director for one day, it would be Guillermo del Torro without a doubt. The joy I see him show for monsters, comics, movies, and fantasy always brightens my day.

Spider-Fam @garlador.bsky.social · 15d

Ultimate Spider-Man #21 is out this Wednesday! My expectations are raised every issue, so I anticipate this one will be revelatory as well!

Best Spidey book on the market. Support good books and good creators!

“Ultimately, there is no debating that "One More Day" is the greatest misfire in Spider-Man's sixty-three years of comic book appearances.”

Another day, another article calling out OMD as a mistake.

Keep the pressure up, folks!

The world needs more positivity.

If you’re reading this, share something you’ve enjoyed lately.

Bonus points if you tag a writer, artist, or musician who helped bring you that joy.

I wrote this some years back and return to it now as a reminder to myself of what's really important in life. If it resonates with you, too, all the better.

What I love about Spider-Man and Mary Jane.

Real love isn’t easy. It’s hard. It’s painful. It’s messy. It would be easier to quit and walk away. Simpler to harden your heart and deny your soul.

But then they’d only be half-alive. No matter what, they’ll make it work. Eventually.

Basic lettering, numbers, and navigation aren’t art forms. They’re fundamental building blocks of communication and transportation as means to other outcomes (reading, formula solving, destination arrival). Letters construct a poem, but POETS write it.
In the case of art, ART ITSELF is the outcome.
