So I was rewatching Spider-Man 2, and I somehow just noticed that the suit looks a little different in some of the artwork in the opening from the actual film.

It's sort of got Alex Ross's usual style for how he draws the classic suit, mixed in with the Raimi film design. It actually looks pretty cool.

Don't know how it's taken me my whole life to notice this, but oh well.

I like Scarecrow and Joker's team up during Knightfall. Where they're dousing the Mayor with Fear Toxin and forcing him to cause mass mayhem and send the city into disarray...

... but also, kinda just hanging out

Don't have anything special to say about, I just thought it was fun =)

New Batman sketch

It's similar to the last one, but I'm experimenting with shading a bit

Also, some design elements are a bit different

New Spidey sketch

For this one, I took a little bit of influence from Todd McFarlane, Erik Larson, and Mark Bagley.

Batman sketch

I took influence from how he was usually drawn in the 70s. I'm not imitating any artist in particular, just pulling from their general style

I feel like this could've come out a bit better. I feel he's a little slim. Also, something seems off with the skyline, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Another sketch of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man

For this one, I took a bit more influence from older appearances of the character.

So, the SDCC Marvel Studios announcements...

Specifically, what I feel is the big one...

Eugh

Just wanted to share these

The Iron Man and Cap image comes from Young Avengers #1

Batman and Superman's is from Batman/Superman: World's Finest #19

Now, I've mostly been making Batfamily related blog posts, but I want to talk a little about something different.

Now, Spider-Man is quite literally my favorite character in not just comics but all of fiction. I just got done reading The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives, and it was great!

I may say this should be on any essential reading list for anyone interested in Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and their relationship. Also, it should be shown to anyone online before they say anything about MJ. I think this would help stop most of the bad takes and misconceptions people have about her.

I love the two of them together, and this book does a pretty good job at showing why they work.

Also, Doc Ock's in it, and he's used pretty well. It was not his best appearance, but it was still a pretty good one.

Below are just a couple of pages from the story. Read them if you want to, but if you would prefer to go into the story blind, then, of course, don't.

In Lego Batman: The Video Game, Spoiler was a secret character that you could only play as if you used the character creator

I wish there was an official minifigure of Steph

From Detective Comics #32, Batman, at one point, was sitting outside a door standing gaurd

Is it me, or does he look really upset or something? Like he's been punished and sent to his room.

Spoiler. Just Spoiler.

No other Bat Family. No other Gotham Vigilantes. No other DC characters.

Just Steph. She's cool

I just wanted to say that. Thank you for reading

Just a pretty basic Spider-Man sketch

Huh, it's been well over a month since I mentioned my favorite crossover rarepair that's somehow canon. So time for more of Tim and Jubilee, this is from DC/Marvel All Access #2.

There's not much to it, nor do I really have anything to say, I just like talking about them. I'm pretty much scrapping the bottom of the barrel for these two. I'd say I wish there were more of them, but I like it for how brief it was and that it wasn't meant to last. The bittersweetness of it is what I find endearing.

And to reiterate or clarify a little on how I feel about some of their other relationships.

I like Tim with Steph, although probably not as much as other people do. Sometimes they're good. Other times, I just don't see it as much (I still like them both individually, though). I find Bernard as bland as Kix cereal. Sorry to those who like him, but I, for the life of me, just can't find any reason to care about him. Everyone else, I either haven't read much on or just don't care for.

On Jubilee's side, I've seen a couple of pages with her and Chamber that were they seem fine, but not enough to form a full opinion on them as a couple (I'll get around to reading both that and the original run of Gen X eventually). I just don't like '97 Sunspot as a whole, since, from what I've heard, he seems like such a massive downgrade from the character he is in the comics. What few other love interests Jubilee has had, I don't have much of an opinion on.

Say what you will about Attack of the Clones, I just want to say I love 'Across the Stars'

Whether it be the music itself or how the name is a play on the term star-crossed, I just think the whole thing is amazing and brilliant.

[zedreh]

I'm still reading Heir to the Empire, but I know what comes later, and I looked ahead a little, so I just want to show appreciation to Luke and Mara's wedding.

Not much to say on it, I just think it's a nice moment

It's that time of year again, Happy Star Wars Day! Let's break out the glasses and hot chocolate!
