COMICS: Here's How Andrew Garfield And Tobey Maguire (Sort Of) Appear In SPIDER-VERSE

Rights issues mean that the big screen versions of Spider-Man can't appear in Marvel's Spider-Verse event, but the latest issue of one of the tie-ins found a very clever way of including the Spider-Men played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. Hit the jump to check it out...

Spider-Verse claims to feature every Spider-Man ever, but there are a few Marvel can't use in the comic book event. This unfortunately means that the Spideys played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield can't show up, something which would have been a lot of fun to see play out in the series.

Regardless, Bleeding Cool have a scan from today's Spider-Verse #2, and it features a pretty blatant reference to the two big screen Spider-Men! It's a shame we'll never get to see the scene described, but if that rumoured deal between Marvel and Sony does go ahead, maybe the sequel?

Going back to Latino Review there scoops are more hit than miss.

Back in 2010 they posted that Sony had already cast Josh Hutchinson as Peter Parker - LINK

If Sony Really wants to make big cash on their ASM franchise. Introduce Madam Web and have a shared demensions film with Tobey's and Garfield teaming up to take down a bigger threat. They just don't realize the extra baggage they're sitting on. Oh well...

Was hoping they'd mention an "emo looking guy who looks like the guy from seabiscuit and was dancing down the street for no apparent reason"

Smart, I'll give them that. But the whole concept of Spider-Verse seems really odd to me.

Morlun was defeated back when Peter was married to MJ and before he told Aunt May about he being Spider-Man. Morlun appeared and alongside Ezekiel's character gave Spidey's power as mystical side, with totems and stuff. Shame that particular storyline never got anywhere after Ezekiel died.

But then Morlun kept coming back, even though he died pretty graphically. There never seemed to be a purpose with that character being resurrected every other year. Does anyone know how he was actually brought back after he was desintegrated?

And now this whole Inheritors stuff.

I just don't see a point with Spider-Verse, other than making fun and killing off some Spider-Men from old What Ifs and cartoon shows.

Is anti-subtle a word? Except no one would ever describe Andrew Garfield as "the guy from The Social Network."

And maybe the one teaching English was the Spider Man from the Electric Company.

And the teaching English thing is Spidey on The Electric Company. Cute.

He was in issue #12 of Amazing Spider-Man. Spoilers: he lived through the issue. I'd post up an image but my browser is slow at the moment.

@MrJedabak

Spoilers: it was explained a few issues back that the Inheritors (Morlun's family) are "resurrected" upon death by having their consciousness moved to a clone body that is rapidly aged to what they normally look like. The process is nearly immediate and it caused clone Spider-Totems (Kan, Alternate Ben Reilly, and Ultmate Jessica Drew) to team up and rid them of this ability (the main plot of the 'Scarlet Spiders' mini-series).

As for the story, I think Slott is going to reveal everything in the next few issues. And even if he didn't have point, so to speak, couldn't a story be just for fun? I know if I were the Spider-scribe, I'd like to have fun and not be held down 100% by how fans think events should be like.

That said, what's your favorite Spider-Character? I myself enjoy reading Newspaper Strip Spider-Man, which appeared in a back-up story for Spider-Verse

All these Spider-Mans are crazy, this story is supposed to be fun? Clone Saga, Spider-Island, Spider-Verse blah blah. I picked up the Annual Spider-Man and I wish every issue was like that one. Just Spider-Man juggling normal stuff like business and saving lives. I really hate Morlun but if he kills all the other universe Spider People? I'm fine with that. Stream line the content and don't have all this fringe universe story stuff. Or make Franklin Richards put them all in his private universe......


In the end they just need to be forgotten
