comment |
Spider-Man, created in the Silver Age by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko has been written by various writers over the years. One of them was J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote over seventy issues of our favorite wall-crawler's adventures. His run was one of the most acclaimed by critics, controversial among fans and... screwed by Executive Meddling in the history of Marvel Comics publishing, despite the fact that Joe Quesada promised JMS very large creative freedom at the beginning.This run, along with Ultimate Spider-Man, helped remake Spider-Man into one of the flagship characters of Marvel Comics in the early 2000s after the confusing and turbulent storylines of the mid-to-late '90s. Until confusing and turbulent storylines overtook the title again... Roughly about half of the complete run was a retool of the traditional Spider-Man mythos and character dynamics, the other half being ever more outlandish crossover events between other titles and gigantic wrestling matches between "new and edgy" plot developments and the status quo of earlier.Notable concepts brought about during the JMS run include Spider-Man's (and many of his rogues') animal motifs having potential supernatural origins, Spider-Man as a permanent and visible member of the Avengers (really a case of Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers title bleeding over), organic web-shooters (to link up with the Sam Raimi films), "Iron Spider", and the public reveal of Spider-Man being Peter Parker.Followed by One More Day and Brand New Day. Elements of this run also featured throughout The Amazing Spider-Man (2018). Also in 2002, JMS and the team won an Eisner Award for Best Serialised Story in honour of #30-35, “Coming Home�.Notable storylines created during this run includes: Sins Past The Other Back in Black |

The Trickster: It's pointed out during the team-up between Spider-Man and Loki that both of them are different examples of tricksters and explored the differences between them. Particularly since the Totem story arc set Peter up as a kind of successor to Anansi, the spider trickster from African Mythology. Hence the parallel to Loki, the Norse trickster. |

Seduction-Proof Marriage: When Spider-Man was being flown to Las Vegas via the private jet of a crime boss, Mr. Forelli, a scantily clad stewardess started making veiled offers to Spider-Man. Spider-Man reacts by sealing his seat away from the rest of the passenger compartment with curtains made out of his webbing, muttering, "Just slide the food through the webs and no one gets hurt." |

Mythology Gag: In The Amazing Spider-Man #517, Peter heads to the theater where Mary Jane is rehearsing a play to warn her that she could be under attack, only to be kept out by an usher while the rehearsal is still going on, similar to a scene where Peter wasn't allowed into a play after it had started in Spider-Man 2. As a bonus, the usher is drawn to look like Bruce Campbell. |

Thematic Rogues Gallery: Lampshaded, when Ezekiel pointed out that Spider-Man has many more animal-themed villains than any other superhero. After a few encounters with mystical villains, Ezekiel was trying to use this trope as proof that Peter's powers are magical though it's implied at least some of those mystical enemies were actually after Ezekiel himself. |

Crystal-Ball Scheduling: In The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #43-45, Peter and Aunt May visit the set of an upcoming Amazing Lobster-Man movie that Mary Jane is working on. Parts of the movie reflect his life even in aspects that the filmmakers presumably couldn't have known about, such as the movie's hero getting his powers after being bitten by a radioactive lobster — and even more so when it's changed to him getting his powers from being The Chosen One of a Lobster-God, reflecting the change JMS had just made to Spidey's own origin. |

Characterization Marches On: JMS based his version of Aunt May on the more intelligent, sensible May glimpsed in stories by writers like Roger Stern and J.M. De Matteis, along with the fiery May seen in the Ultimate title. He also quietly let the "goofy old gal" characterization brought back by the Byrne run lapse into the past. |

Mob-Boss Suit Fitting: Used for humor. Morlun is introduced with lots of grim foreshadowing about how evil and powerful he is. That's exactly what the narrative captions are talking about, while the art shows him having a suit fitted. Morlun's dialogue, though, is focused on whether or not the new outfit makes his butt look big. |

I Take Offense to That Last One: In The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #55, Peter had a job as a high school science teacher. This exchange followed after he met a particularly troublesome student: |

Radiation-Immune Mutants: Spider-Man defeats Morlun by exposing himself to radiation that he's immune to after being bitten by a radioactive spider, meaning that Morlun just absorbs deadly radiation instead of Spidey's powers. |

comment |
More than Just a Teacher: Early on in the run, Peter starts work as a science teacher at a New York public school. Amongst the issues he must deal with as Spider-Man are thwarting a school shooting, tracking down kidnapped kids, and discovering that one of his students is a dangerous and murderous mutant (who instantly realises that Mr. Parker and Spider-Man are the same person because they have the same voice) note Other material states that Peter normally tries to make himself sound different when he's Spider-Man, combined with his mask also changing his voice a bit . Another awkward episode for him is when the kids learn that he is famous for taking pictures of Spider-Man and they are more interested in that than listening to his lesson. When he reveals his secret identity, it becomes even harder for him to be an effective teacher, as students are naturally more interested in his adventures while parents and fellow teachers are terrified of the attention he'll bring from supervillains and criminals seeking payback. |

Embarrassing Cover Up: In The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #38, this is revealed to have happened accidentally to Spider-Man, which had kept Aunt May from guessing Peter's real secret. She'd had the feeling that he was hiding something, and noticed that he seemed to be a bit awkward around girls, so she thought that he might be gay. In The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #43, Aunt May uses this to help Peter get past the TSA agents at the airport by implying that his web shooters were gynecological equipment. She started explaining how they worked and the agents couldn't pack them back up fast enough. |

We Will Not Have Pockets in the Future |
| The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski) (Comic Book) / int_75ae8be8 |
comment |
We Will Not Have Pockets in the Future: The lack of pockets in Spider-Man's costume is directly addressed. Spider-Man spends some of his time hanging upside down, so conventional pockets wouldn't work (the contents would fall out). Zippers, and flaps secured by Velcro, make too much noise to be practical for a superhero who relies on stealth. A utility belt is the obvious answer, and Spidey has one — but the compartments are all used for web fluid refills, Spider-Tracers, and a flashlight. He still doesn't have a good way to carry a wallet and keys — or a camera (necessary during the periods when he earned a living as a freelance photographer). He kept a small camera attached to his belt as well. Early issues often featured panels showing him webbing it into place before a fight which somehow consistently produced well-framed shots (although JJJ at least once complained about poor composition). Along with every other benefit, he considered the symbiote suit a boon because it could form hammerspace pockets on its surface. |

But Peter had strong moral guidance from his parental figures to instill in him his sense of responsibility; while Charlie had little support from parents who were implied to be uninvolved and sometimes abusive, and always fell back on blaming others for his problems and actions, which persisted into adulthood. |

Spider-Man wants to save the world from that sorceress (and get her to stop hitting on him). They work together. Awesomeness ensues.

Parting-Words Regret |
| The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski) (Comic Book) / int_aa79bac |
comment |
Parting-Words Regret: During the course of Peter and May's talk after May discovers that he is Spider-Man, May tells him that the night his Uncle Ben was killed, she and he had been fighting - not over anything major, just one of any number of small, inconsequential disagreements that happen over the course of a long marriage, and nothing they weren't going to easily make up over. But Ben had stepped outside to clear his head... and the reconciliation would never happen. Peter, she explains, isn't the only one who's been carrying guilt since that fateful night. |

Myth Arc |
| The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski) (Comic Book) / int_ac7cbf8d |
comment |
Myth Arc: invoked The search for answers about Spider-Man's powers, the "Spider-Totem", and the battle against Morlun. Sadly Executive Meddling resulted in the whole idea being screwed. At least until Araña/Spider-Girl's comic series tied into it, with the titular character working for a company founded by Ezekiel Sims and joining a cult worshipping the Spider-Totems, and Spider-Island brought back the Queen and Web of Life. It comes back with a vengeance in Spider-Verse, where Morlun's family and the Spider-Totems are central parts of the story. |

Respected by the Respected: When Peter was slowly dying and the heroes were desperately looking for a way to save him, King T'Challa, the Black Panther, brought him to Wakanda to see what could be done. They couldn't find anything, so T'Challa's last resort was to allow Peter to consume the Heart-Shaped Herb. T'Challa considered Peter worthy of it, and described him as a "Warrior with the Soul of a King". |

Generic Doomsday Villain: Morlun has almost no real backstory to speak of, and his exact nature was never revealed during the run. Morlun's personality was pretty bland as well since he really only wanted to "eat" Spidey and stated that it wasn't personal. For some unfathomable reason, this was the first time a villain had ever made Spider-Man angry, even when guys like the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus had kidnapped, murdered or otherwise threatened his loved ones. It was not until Spider-Verse that his backstory, personality, and motivation were established. |

Enlightened Antagonist: Ezekiel Sims is a sort of a spiritual mentor to Spider-Man who teaches him that his superhero powers have a mystical rather than a sci-fi origin, coming from a totemic spider deity called the Great Weaver and a mystic force called the Web of Life (he has similar powers himself). However, it turns out that he also has a dark secret: he acquired these powers through an illegitimate magic ritual because he just wanted to be superhuman, and when an otherworldy being known as the Gatekeeper comes to kill him for that, he tries to sacrifice Peter to the Gatekeeper instead in order to survive. Nonetheless, he has a last-moment change of heart and gives up his own life to let Peter live. |

Luckily, they bump into each other after a storm forces both their flights to make an emergency stop in Denver. It's all very dramatic and emotional, and just as they sit down to talk, Peter finds himself utterly speechless with a Deer in the Headlights expression on his face despite MJ questioning the life of a superhero's significant other... because GOD-DAMNED DOCTOR DOOM JUST WALKED INTO THE LOUNGE. Which of course precedes an attempt on the dictator's life. |
