Ok, I just heard that Spidey was retconned into having organic webshooters , a la the shitty movies. How the heck did they pull this off? Was there a whole story arc about it? Did he just suddenly pop up with holes in his wrists and no explanation for the fans?!?!

I have to think it's got something to do with the Ezekiel storyline.

Never mind, you other three members of KAPOW! xd , I found it.

Spectacular #20. Pete gets kissed by some Spider Queen, is turned into a giant spider, and is pregnant. confused

Here's the critic's review I found:

SpiderFan.org

Are you kidding me? I was actually enjoying this storyline before reading this atrocity. But now, despite fairly solid art by Paco Medina and Juan Vlasco, this issue is garbage. Paul Jenkins, please tell me it wasn't your idea... It must've been a decision from the higher-ups, or something... or maybe a titanic team-up of Howard Mackie and Terry Kavanagh kidnapped Jenkins and wrote this story in his stead. Because I expect better than this absolute mistake of an idea from Paul Jenkins.

Organic web-shooters? Insect freakin' telepathy? I'm not even going to get into the organic web-shooters. Marvel for some reason seems to think that the Spider-Man movie and comics have to be the same, which results in this mess. Why Spidey needed organic web-shooters in the movie in the first place, I have no idea. And insect telepathy? Are you serious??? I'm not reading Ant-Man! I just love how they actually had the insect telepathy play a big part in this story, and then just tried to kinda sneak the organic web-shooters in there. It's like Marvel's saying, "The fans will be so mad about the telepathy thing, they won't even notice the web-shooters!"

I can't believe that this happened. It's a disgrace to the character. Spider- Man's worked pretty well for forty years now, but suddenly we need to change this? To me, this is like DC deciding to make Batman blind and give him bat- like sonar powers. It's stupid and pointless. The character is great, and all that this does is make the loyal, long-time fans angry. And I don't imagine that too many new readers are going to be enticed by the fact that Spider-Man can now read the minds of earwigs.

Now I'm so tired from all that grumping that I'm not even gonna get into the fact that the whole Peter Parker being reborn scene this issue didn't make any sense.


Yep thats about it. Its now official. Marvel AND DC are both brimming over with idiocy.

Im about to be a senseless rabid fan for once in my life.

I dont care what anybody else said, says, or will ever say. The movie sucked. Parker not being smart enough to make weblike fluid, but somehow being able to sew an entire costume out of scraps of fabric sucked. The entire idea of organic web shooters in the wrist sucks. Taking movie crap and forcing it down comic fan's throats sucks.

WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF MARVEL RIGHT NOW SUCKS!
