what're your fave parts of peni's comics so far if you had to choose?

HELLO RYIN. Good question! My answer leans more towards the Spiderverse 5 issue, but I made sure to get as many points from Spidergeddon 2 as well. Equality. Even if I like 5 better. This has Images so I'm putting it under the cut due to length.

Starting with 5 for some vague chronologicality, I really love Mysterio, which I didn't expect first time through as he's.. a massive creep, frankly. I think its mainly that he feels realistically lame and surface-level; he wants to be known, wants fear, but he goes down in a single hit. For all his talk, and his intelligence, he's just.. a guy. Also, this panel. It looks neat. They should give SP//DR more arms.

Same comic issue, fantastic back to back shots comparing Peni, SP//DR, and this universe's Daredevil;

I really love how it gives so much contrast. Peni is a kid in that suit, and through her conversation with Daredevil here, you can tell how much she wishes she knew her father, and thusly, how great (and illusive) a figure she's living up to - the SP//DR is greater than anything in her life, and any people. Even the coworkers that knew the previous pilot loom over her, not that they really knew him.

I have more I love about this issue, but these were the best visual examples that wouldn't take as many words. Moving on to 2;

M.O.R.B.I.U.S. I'm very confused what this thing is, but I respect a vampire spider kaiju where I see it. Goddamn. A note for design on the next appearing (and main for this issue) villain, I love how this particular panel conveys a sort of restraint or pain to VEN#M's movements;

Even with May and Addy assumedly dead or near-dead at this point, what's left of their will is trying to stop it from hurting her. It makes me curious how much a pilot imprints on its mech's consciousness, even when the brain and body is gone. It's unfortunate we didn't get too much lore on what this thing is, or what happens of it - unless I'm missing comics.

The final detail I like from 5 is Uncle Ben and the continued characterization of him and her Aunt never quite getting Peni, nor seeming to remember her preferences of food (the other instance in 2 being that she's going vegetarian).

While I'm sad that she clearly got so few pages to tell any sort of story, I'm very curious of the relationships (or lack thereof) they build between her and her guardians - its all work, business, the next mission, therefore they can't really find anything to connect with her over that isn't work and expectations. Of course they can't! Both are bound to the program that snatched her up to fill the space they had when the program killed her dad. She's not so much human as she is a worker, a cog, so human connections in this environment are.. stiffled. All of them seem lonelier for it. It's compelling in the scraps of moments they put aside to show it.

If Noir Peter was interested in physics (but assumedly couldn't afford the education), do you think he's learned a bit by perhaps listening to Peni explain how her own world's tech works and asking questions?

She gives a simpler answer the first time he asks how her newest dimension-hopping addition for SP//DR works, but he keeps questioning about various things with more careful and specific wording, and then it's months of this, and she's chatting with him about things beyond even Miles' time. Pete doesn't get a lot of it, but she's moved on quickly from "The sky is blue because it just is" type explanations - because she respects his curiosity.

She digs up his birthday with the combined effort of a few other spider people and some Investigative Work and gives him a few starter physics textbooks from her own time as a gift.
