Spider-Gwen.  Squirrel Girl.  America Chavez.  Silk.  Moon Girl.  Etc etc.  All are rising....and I doubt any have had deep and/or memorable stories as of yet.

Which is exactly why I would tread lightly on any of those characters.  Unless we all agree that the medium is dead in regards to important, memorable storylines.  That would be even more worrisome.

Not dead....just different, with different collectors having different perspectives and goals.  

Key (memorable) storylines will always be sought after....even more so if they generate a new and interesting character.  

I think it's not that easy to do or we would have more examples of it.

It's on page 1 of this thread. I never heard of this movie, either missed it or was fake rumors or fell through.

The Vault was optioned by a company with Depp, but nothing came of it as far as I know. It was a nice flip for a short while as most LCSs still had them in cheap backstock.

I've always had the theory (usually with females) that a minority character is always a good bet as diversity in their movies/TV is always a must. There will always be at least one, and usually more, minority character in every vehicle. You are definitely seeing a lot of that with the recent hot books with regards to sex/race/LGBTQ.

I'm actually trying to think of something memorable happening in ASM in the past 5 -10 years and I keep coming up empty.

Flash Thompson Venom, Red Goblin, Silk, Peter Parker/Doc Ock saga. Decent amount of first appearances like Stealth Suit, Leopardon, Spider Punk, and the aforementioned characters.

And the big part of the Doc Oct saga, the "death" pf Peter Parker.

Yeah, I collect everything Spider-man and this latest series with Peter Parker has been a snoozer. Grim Hunt was nothing to write on a forum about. The series with Silk  was mediocre but garnered attention after Spec took off for issue #4. I liked the six part Spider-verse story arc where Spider-punk made his debut but the series quickly went nowhere. Red Goblin spec created a huge stir around issues #794,#795 and #796 but the thrill was gone by #797. #797- #800 first prints barely go for above cover price despite the first appearances and story arc ending. I'm waiting for Donny Cates to take over writing Spider-man . Just kidding....kinda.

I think a lot of Disney collectors/fans are bringing the prices of Miles stuff up. They’re buying it up. Disney buyers are Marvel buyers now and it’s been that way for a while now. They’re completionists. I think they can see Disney doing big things with Miles. And if he gets live action screen time UF4 will go nuclear. And if one thing is true, it’s that Disney fans pay up

The start of the Superior Spidey arc from ASM 700 through the first bit of Otto-spidey was fun.

 

Other than that, the best story IMHO was Sins of the Past, especially the issue where Peter visualizes Norman and Gwen hooking up. I laughed out loud when I read that. It was fun from the sense that it turned a whole bunch of Spidey canon on its head.

So them being remembered doesn’t make them memorable?!? The definition of the word begs to differ. 

[kimik]

So......if the Venom/Spidey FCBD issue comes out AFTER Venom #26, which one will the market say is the 1st full appearance of Virus?

The Norman and Gwen trist? Yeah, that was awesome. It is one of my favorite ASM pages of all time. I wonder if the OA is available for it?
