I remember buying the very first issue for 12 cents.

If you kept it, in mint, it’s worth 75 grand.

I doubt he will be dead for long.

Always trying to reinvent themselves. Actually, it's the story-writers who want to be famous for creating something, so they create an entirely new character wrapped up in something old so that folks might swallow their poison pill, and then they're surprised when the fans don't like it.

Anyone remember the black Spiderman suit from the 80s? They had intended on getting rid of the red suit within a year after introducing it. Fans were so outraged that the black suit became an evil alien symbiote (actually, more of a parasite, if you ask me).

He will be resurrected as “The Fabulous Spider Person”, a gay super hero with an affinity for the bravo network, throw pillows and track lighting.

I thought they said a few months ago that Parker was going to be replaced by an illegal alien.

If he were a real person, he would be about 68 years old. And his business model of taking pictures and bringing them only to Mr Jameson, rather than posting them on the web ( no pun intended)is about as outdated as Superman’s telephone booth.

Marvel is behind the times.

Warner Bros. is already squandering DC down the tubes.

He died of shame and regret after realizing what he had done four years ago.

We can’t have heros, as that presumes there is a right and a wrong, and the difference is knowable.

No point in picking a fight over Spiderman, but if the faithful don’t start fighting for TRUTH, the devil and his disciples will grind us to dust.

He was always a wuss anyway. I mean, look who they cast to play him in the recent movies. Besides, he was a white guy. “Everyone” knows white guys are responsible for everything wrong in the world today, so he had it coming. If not for evil white guys, we’d be living in nirvana today. A new diversity friendly wussier secret identity is called for in today’s progressive society. A superhero who helps people, but is a white guy behind the scenes, makes absolutely no sense at all. If there are any white guys left in “comics,” they should be super villains, to better reflect modern sensibilities.

It so saddens me. I LOVE printed comics. I am no fan of digital comics, but I have to accept they are the future, especially when I want to produce them myself (because it is the only way any more to get a conservative voice out there). It’s sad what the liberal mindset has done to comics. No more patriotism, no more high morals (except as defined by liberals). I don’t have a huge collection, but it’s nice having them. They’ll never be worth anything since they’ve been stored in a musty basement, but still, when the world collapses, and I’m out of batteries for my IPad, I’ll have comics to read. :D

Meh. He'll get better.

I'm much more interested in the budding Superman-Wonder Woman relationship.

Maybe if this were 1962 it might be interesting.

Comic books kill off characters all the time and then bring them back later.

It's all fake, and it's hard to care enough even to say "I don't care."

There's only two villains who can kill Spiderman. Giant rolled up newspaperman or giant bedroom slipper man.
