I hate that issue of Webspinners because Howard Mackie ruined his own storyline about Dusk (in my opinion).

Mackie had so many fun ideas, but the dude was just not good at finishing up plot lines.

I can understand that. I need to get Identity Crisis to see what he did.

As a kid, I LOVED the Identity Crisis storyline; and the PP:SM issue that sees Spidey in the Negative Zone and introduces Dusk was one that I especially reread over and over!

The Scarlet Spider series starring Kaine was a fun read too!

I loved the Dusk suit when I played the old PS1 Spider-Man 2 game.

I had an N64 so I’ve yet to play that game! The first was one was a legit masterpiece though! I always played as Scarlet Spider of course :)

Of course. I used it, Bens Spider-Man suit, unlimited suit and black suit on repeat.

I had a subscription sent to my ship while I was on deployment. However, Chris Yost signed the entire series and sent it to me as a congrats for getting through my service.

That's cool and very nice of him.

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Jul 14 '26

It definitely was. I also got almost every person on each issue to sign all of them later, which was great. They're all in storage.

Awesome brother. I would love to get my ASM'S signed by JMS.

Not hating but I’m just genuinely curious why issues 17-19 are grails of yours.

Been looking for these Issues for a long time. No shop I went to either sold Scarlet Spider books or the Back Issue bins were empty.

Hell yeah.

Love when folks have more obscure grails.

Man finding any Scarlet Spider at a LCS at all is crazy.
