Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality

Product Information

This time, they are in a prehistoric time/dimension that closely resembles early Planet of the Apes, including Devil Dinosaur and the ape-like Moon Boy. When the locals try to sacrifice Bruce to a giant spider, he connects with the stone and becomes something that looks close to an alien xenomorph, calling himself Brian. alongside artist ROGÊ ANTÔNIO (CARNAGE). THIS TIME, set your time circuits ahead to the techno-dystopian future of 2099! Miguel O'Hara, A.K.A. Will Aunt May recognize Felicia as the young woman who “accidentally” climbed in through the boarding house window looking for a costume party only a few days before in PPSSM 91? To be honest, I can’t figure out the canonical state of Aunt May’s awareness of Peter’s secret at this point given the number of retcons that have happened over the decades, but it would be interesting to see May and Felicia get to know each other over the course of the next few issues and see how that affects their opinions of each other. (I’m particularly interested in this given how vehemently Felicia seemed to avoid the Peter side of Spidey’s life at the time and how she immediately dismissed Aunt May as a “drag” and a “fogey” at that meeting. Of course, she also called May “feisty” in the same thought balloon, so there’s some real potential for discovery and conflict between the two of them!)

Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality can't reach the heights of the first Symbiote series, but it's still perfectly serviceable and plenty of fun. This sequel to David and Land's original Symbiote Spider-Man mini-series jumps forward a few months in comic time; Peter's still wearing the Venom symbiote suit, and this time runs into the Hobgoblin. What could be a straight forward Spidey story instead becomes a reality-warping What If? when the Goblin teams up with Baron Mordo to re-write all of time and space. Oops. Symbiote Spider-Man’s not bad. It’s a run of the mill Spidey mini-series that kind of only exists so that Marvel could put out a story featuring Spidey and Mysterio while the Spider-Man: Far From Home hype train was in full swing. But Mysterio’s also in the main Amazing Spider-Man book, which is much better than this, so again I ask…why did this exist? No aporta realmente nada. Construye sobre los conflictos de Spidey con la gata negra, el traje y la tía May para darnos una historia que busca resolver algunos de esos conflictos pero no los resuelve porque deberían de resolverse en la historia principal, así que al final del tomo sientes que no se avanzó nada y que el personaje sigue en el mismo sitio en el que estaba al principio, y tiene sentido porque ese personaje protagoniza el tomo dos todavía. This got pulled in so many different directions that I started to think it was going to be horrible... but then I just relaxed and let myself go on the ride. Canon or not doesn't matter when it comes to symbiote stuff.Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse ended with a tease of Spider-Man 2099, who is to feature prominently in the upcoming Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. And the character's co-creator Peter David has written a comic book spinoff that Marvel will be publishing in August, as part of his run of past-set Symbiote-linked stories, Symbiote Spider-Man 2099. The two of them are transported to the Valley of the Flame. Enter Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur (and does Devil Dinosaur look fearsome? Hell yes.). Banner, now in possession of the Norn stone, is captured by a tribe Moon Boy calls the Killer Folk who plan to sacrifice him to Long Legs, a giant spider. Enter the Guilt Hulk, another Banner persona, who lays waste to Long Legs. Normally this wouldn’t bother me a whole lot because I’m here for a Symbiote Spider-Man story, not so much an event tie-in, but this story was just flat-out dumb. Very out of character for the previous instalments from this creative team.

PETER DAVID AND GREG LAND DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN! After three sense-shattering series, Peter David, Greg Land, Jay Leisten and Frank D’Armata – the entire SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN crew – RETURN!

In their most ambitious series yet, the SYMBIOTE team puts Peter Parker and his alien costume on a collision course with none other than THE INCREDIBLE HULK, in a story set just before Peter David’s landmark run on the Hulk series!only hope of stopping him lies with the power awakened by a top-secret project gone terribly wrong. What must Miguel sacrifice to seal the bond
