Spider-Men #2
MIIIILLLLLESSSSSS
I need these comics.
God these comics I can’t.
I can’t even explain how much I love Miles okay
You tell ME.
No, YOU tell ME.
NO, YOU TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!WOW WHAT A CUTE BABY :3
I made a really stupid little sound. Oh my god, so adorbs…
Miles is literally the cutest super hero ever
EVER
Wow I really need to read these comics.
Awwww!
Just when you think no superhero could ever be more fumblingly adorkable than Peter Parker.
oh god wait why did I just start shipping him with Jaime Reyes, FUCK
Just finished reading the first two TPBs of Miles’s series, plus this Miles/Pete crossover.
I have come to the conclusion the Miles Morales is the freakin’ cutest superhero of all time, bar none. He’s like a puppy in human form, seriously. *pinches his cheeks*

Happy Valentines day y’all. Check out this short I just worked on - Superhero Speed Dating!
I did costuming and about half of the casting on this short. This thing required 10+ superhero costumes in a week so we ended up casting a lot of my amazing cosplayer friends to act in this in their costumes. We rented a few costumes too, so the only costume I actually had to make was Aquaman. This project was SO fun and I can’t wait to work with these guys again.
That is really cool! I was actually noticing when I watched it that some of the costumes were really good - especially Wonder Woman and Spider-Man’s!
And the casting was absolutely spot-on! Great job all around. :-)
Everbody, I highly recommend you watch this! I thought it was flat-out hilarious.

Fancast: Mary Kate Wiles as MJ Watson
Am I the only one who thinks this would be seriously perfect?
Watching Mary Kate as Lydia on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has really made me a fan of hers, and the more I think about it, the more I think she’d be the perfect MJ.
Like MJ, Lydia is a shallow, silly party girl on the surface, but Mary Kate is absolutely brilliant at making her nuanced and lovable, even in scenes where Lydia is acting recklessly or is hard to sympathize with. She’s just fantastically talented, and seems to be a really intelligent actress who takes the time to understand her characters deeply as well (which is vital for someone playing a role as iconic as Mary Jane Watson).
Plus, she looks the part near-perfectly, and she’s adorable.
What do you guys think?
(Scenes from Amazing Spider-Man #55 and Batman Family #13)
The mod over at fyeahdickandbabs has commented in the past that Babs reminds her of a female Peter Parker sometimes, to the point that she ships them together just a bit, so here is a parallel that I thought you might find interesting!
Isn’t it just the worst when your future soulmate won’t ever be serious? ;-)
What’s interesting to me is trying to figure out how much of this is just friendly banter, and how much really is the way Babs and Pete saw Dick and MJ respectively at that time (bear in mind, this is long before either of them became a couple).
Pete refers to MJ as “scatter-brained MJ” a few issues before this (Amazing Spider-Man #50), but then immediately wonders if she’s really so scatter-brained after all, saying he’s never been able to figure it out. On the one hand, he’s perceptive enough to suspect that there’s more underneath her party-girl facade. On the other hand, the fact that he has to wonder at all shows he doesn’t really know her all that well yet.
As for what Babs thought of Dick… I think their age difference plays something of a factor in it. Bear in mind, at this point Babs was a 25-year-old congresswoman with a PhD, while Dick was an 18-year-old college student. He must have seemed terribly young and immature to her at times simply because they were at such different places in life. And yet, I’d argue that at this point in their lives, Babs probably still had more respect for Dick’s intelligence than Pete did for MJ’s. A large part of that probably had to do with the fact that she knew his ‘serious’ side better because they worked together as a crimefighting duo, but even before they knew each other’s secret identities, Dick impressed her with his work ethic when they worked together in their civilian identities.
I’m rambling a bit here, but I just find it really interesting to think about. I think many people have ‘That Friend’ who you love to pieces and always have tons of fun with, but at the same time you kind of dismiss them as something of a twit. But y’know… sometimes there’s a lot more to people than you give them credit for. And sometimes people grow up in unexpected ways, and relationships change, and suddenly that friend you thought was such a flake turns into the person you rely on more than anyone.

Coolest holiday card ever, or coolest holiday card EVER?
Might as well re-post this.
Happy Chanukah, guys! :-)

“Not a bad image, though.” Nope, not a bad image at all.
OMG. I initially misread this panel as Dick saying he’d rather wrestle Wolverine naked. As in, Logan. From X-Men. Not a wolverine. And I was terribly confused about how somebody’s crossover crackfic had somehow found its way into canon.
Now, try to get that image out of your head.

Ah, I was just wondering if I was the only one who’d noticed this!
How AWESOME would a crossover with these two be? I think they’d really like each other. We already know Natasha has a thing for archers. ;-)

Now I want Steve and Pepper to be BBFs also with Phil. They can all bond over how infuriating Tony is
YESYESYES!!!! Can I have Steve/Pepper friendship please? With Phil? They would be the most amazing friends, seriously. This is something I need in my life.

“Finally, someone who speaks English.” I loved that moment.
This moment was an absolute favorite of mine as well.

More About Dick Being Roma
Okay, so, my girl has put this far more eloquently than I can, but she’s basically right on the money here.
I know retcons can be terrible, but when they’re not wiping away established canon but rather developing what’s already there, they can be great, and you know what? Dick’s retcon was THRILLING for me. Being a biologically half-Roma American is hard. It’s complicated and confusing and it’s really difficult to understand what my heritage MEANS when it’s so misunderstood in this part of the world. Most people I meet don’t even know Roma is an ethnicity. All are familiar with “gypsies,” but in a dim, nebulous, fed-on-Disney-movies kind of way - they’re those funny nomads with the bright skirts and bells and they steal stuff, right? No. Not so much. Adapting to negative stereotypes when people don’t understand they’re USING a stereotype is a complicated process, and anything that can call attention to my heritage is a cause for backflips.
Literally, in Dick’s case.
idk, it just makes me really happy to see some representation, even if that’s not what the creators were thinking about. It makes me really, really happy to think that Dick Grayson is just like me, and that he faces the same cultural barriers and challenges I do as a Roma-American, and he understands how hard it is to meld those identities.
Plus it’s nice to see my people portrayed in a positive light for once, especially as it doesn’t suddenly change Dick’s character - he’s still an American first and foremost. He just happens to be Roma, too. That’s the way it works for people like us. idk, my two cents.

I’m not very familiar with She-Hulk, but this art is gorgeous.

A bromance blossoms.
#can i just point out that Natasha is not as cold as everyone always makes her out to be #she’s making jokes #she’s smirking #she’s having a proper and relaxed conversation with our good pal Steve #everyone writes her like she’s some stone expressioned block of ice and that just ISN’T HER
THANK YOU.
My favorite Avengers. <3
I LOVE the idea of these two being friends.

in which Peter shows his appreciation in the most mature way possible
It’s funny. I am SO much more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan, but whenever I pick up a Spider-Man comic, I am always and without fail reminded of how much I adore Peter Parker. Seriously. Look at this ridiculously adorable human being. How are you even so perfect, Pete. I cannot.
Also, someone totally needs to draw one of those “Superman-meets-Captain-America” drawings with Dick and Pete being precious fanboys in the background. This is a thing that needs to exist. *nodnod*
