While we’re on break from our coverage of The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, we’re releasing our Patreon episode on the recent comics by its creator Greg Weisman that team up Peter Parker and Miles Morales! We talk all about what makes this comic feel like Weisman's work immediately, what makes Weisman's stories so appealing to us, and where we think this virtual reality-focused mystery may (or may not!) go.

Reading list:

The Spectacular Spider-Men #1-4 by Greg Weisman

The first season of The Spectacular Spider-Man comes to a conclusion when Peter has to face his angry ex and cook a Thanksgiving dinner! As Venom stalks Peter’s loved ones, we take one last conclusive look at our revisit of this season – from tracking Eddie Brock as a DEEPLY messed up guy, to the use of Tombstone, to Gwen hanging from a gorilla balloon (and getting the big ending kiss), to the final lesson Peter learns. Also, Aunt May is publishing a cookbook?!

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 13: “Nature vs. Nurture”.

A battle inside the mind gives us a surreal, beautiful take on the classic Spidey origin while turning the symbiote story into a poignant metaphor for depression and mental health! We’re talking about The Spectacular Spider-Man’s most creative and emotionally affecting episode, including Ed Asner as Uncle Ben, Flash Thompson’s big moment of depth, a brilliant use of black and white, and a great example of this show finding clever ways to retell familiar stories.

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 12: “Intervention”.
