Spidey split in two, with one cosmic and the other violent

Superhero Hype wrote an uncritical take on Marvel's next pointless direction with everyone's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, where 2 different takes on Spidey are emphasized, and guess which one will be working on terra firma?
Peter Parker has had quite a few identity crises over the years. Beyond the problems caused by his double life, he’s had to contend with symbiotes controlling him and numerous clones impersonating him. Now, a new Spider-Man is about to leave everyone wondering which one is the real McCoy.

Timed to coincide with the historic 975th issue of Amazing Spider-Man, the storyline will introduce two wall-crawlers. One will be based on Earth. The other will be operating in outer space, with a cosmic costume. The one on Earth is more violent than Peter Parker, but the cosmic Spidey is running around with strange companions.
Umm, I think the time when Spidey had some kind of "cosmic adventures" in 1989 is far better, and we don't need what sounds like an attempt to compete with where DC's going with Jason Todd - who was turned into Red Hood in the mid-2000s after his resurrection in Countdown to Infinite Crisis - that led nowhere positive.

Which one's the real McCoy here? There's no point in finding out, because in the end, it's all just a lot of pencil and paper wasted on nothing, and makes clear why real Spider-fans would do well to stick with the stories leading up to the turn of the century.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
