@harryba11zack - Quit trolling. The artwork is dynamic and fit for an agile character like Spider-Man. Also, Peach Momoko's watercolour artwork is beautiful.

@harryba11zack - for the 1000 issue, they should’ve gotten Joe Madureira to do it.

@WruceBayne - Notice how the story with Frank Miller and Peach Momoko is titled "Tears of the Spider-Queen" and it involves The Hand.

@Gnostic - I had to scroll back up and look and that’s exactly what it says. It’s only a handful of us that’s convinced that it’s the Spider Queen and not Jean Grey in this movie.

@harryba11zack - They still are and experimenting with new styles is what keeps it relevant and fresh. You may have a preference but deriding someone's artstyle is antithetical to the medium and shows how myopic you really are.

@Ojeet78 - "new styles" is that what u call that?

its not myopic to say that the comic industry once had a standard.

The art was part of what made kids what to continue to read the books.

@dragon316 - there is "different styles" and there is just bad art.

@harryba11zack - Have to agree, I've googled the artists work and its ok but doesn't suit the superhero comic book format and this just looks rushed. I remember the days when Marvel cared about proportions and story telling - the second page especially is awful on both fronts.

Great for an indie comic about a cat, but not Spidey's 1000th issue

@Gnostic - the Spider Queen just makes sense and Wilding is surprisingly one of the first to appear to have changed his mind about Sinks character. These comments reveal that more and more people are getting off this Jean Grey theory.

@WruceBayne - A couple of days ago, one of the writers of the X-Men movie (Lee Sung Jin) mentioned how the film won’t plug into existing MCU arcs or characters unlike the Thunderbolts movie.

“I’d say there were actually more parameters on Thunderbolts because it was plugging into an existing arc and existing characters, whereas with X-Men, Kevin [Feige] just wants to take a big swing and start anew, not be beholden to any of the movies that have come before.”

https://deadline.com/2026/06/lee-sung-jin-beef-x-men-interview-1236950632/

It sounds like Fantastic Four: First Steps. Everything before that movie in the MCU may as well not exist for it to exist.

So if Jean was in this movie and Secret Wars…wouldn’t that contradict his statement here? Because that would make her an existing character. But to play devil’s advocate: Jean could be possessed by the Queen for the vast majority of the movie and is basically just a glorified cameo with no development.

Frank Miller & Peach Momoko with BND synergy and an Alex Ross cover? Say less. You had me at "Frank".

@Gnostic - yup exactly. And Spidey's fighting the Hand over the NY skyline.

More and more I'm thinking you could be right. Or hoping at least.

I wish I was excited for this - considering my first comic ever was ASM 147, issue 1000 should be a big deal but it's not.

It kinda sucks that they let everything slide so far down from where they used to be.

@Nomis929 - That last one never quite gets the attention it deserves. It's overlooked for the preceeding panels and the cover. But it's so dynamic. Spidey's free finally. He did it, now he can go save Aunt May, etc. So I'm really glad Alex Ross chose to spotlight that moment for a change, rather than him struggling to get free as the water seeps in.

@ObserverIO - Good point.

Steve Ditko panel work, getting bigger with each moment to that amazing splash page is a masterclass in comic art.

Oh shit they got Larry Lieber too! Ok this is really special, they pulled out all the stops.

(well not all of them. They could have gotten One More Writer if you know what I mean)
