Bleeding Cool ran an interesting spec story the other day. It focuses on Amazing Spider-Man #418.
This issue shows the birth of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s baby May Parker, stillborn.
In the MC2 alternate universe, she was portrayed as a grown teenager, becoming that universe’s Spider-Girl, and has recently returned to comics in the current Spider-Verse series.
We did suggest that there was a possibility, the standard Marvel Universe version of her, somehow, could be the third special Spider totem, The Scion.
And if so, and if you are interested in the history of the character, this is her first appearance.
Copies of Amazing Spider-Man #418 can be found fairly cheap on eBay, but prices have moved up on some copies since the article was published.
BC blatantly boosted this spec from the CGC message boards but even that doesn’t matter. Other blogs and spec resources have mentioned this long ago.
Not denying bc rips off from other people. I have seen some of my stuff almost word for word show up there.
You are affiliated with them though aren’t you? If I am completely wrong sorry. Also It’s not that I don’t like BC, I do but if you write for them then it’s cool that you post links to their source material. I don’t like it when they poach ideas and give no credit. As I write for a few pages I can say that I have made that mistake too but my readership is miniscule in comparison to BC. They have an obligation to maintain journalistic integrity and part of that responsibility is to credit sources. Plus I think it would be pretty sweet if they credited a boardie post!
I am affiliated with them in the fact they have posted articles i have written for them and that i have in the past and will in the future cover conventions for them. I am not a paid staffer though. I agree with giving credit when i read something directly from another site. I dont try to prentend that i know everything. I do not like when others try to either. What sites do you write for. Could always use a fresh perspective around here.
That’s great! I have written for BC in the past and in no way try to bash them. They are a useful and often entertaining resource. It’s just funny to see the spec corner repeatedly use something they most likely saw on a thread within a day or two! Personally I hate it when I get beat to the punch. There have been many instances where I have had books here, there and in other places scooped before I have the chance to publish which often leads to a rewrite. I cannot say this is true all the time but I usually do not want to publish something speculative that another has just made reference too. I write under the Comic Broker’s Report for investcomics and publish my own blog. I dig your page man, it’s another in a line of valuable internet tools.
Thanks brother. Any time you want to promote your site feel free to send links over.
