What do you think about Mayday's comic run? Clearly people like how she looks, but what do you think about her personality, and everything that goes on around her? What are your favorite issues?
Spider-Girl
I'm not helping you write your tiktok.
For me, it was issue 82. Venom's return with this awesome page, plus the Tobey Maguire gag with Peter and Reilly.
They're not bad but they always felt really overwritten and dated even for the time, really harping on Sliver/Bronze nostalgia even more so with the throwback style art. I kinda wish it was more modern (for the time) take like Batman Beyond and I remember being disappointed as a kid seeing covers like this only for the inside to look like boomer comics.
That's fair, the early issues especially are really fucking wordy. All the Mayday monologue can get tiring to read through, but I was engaged enough to read through the whole thing. A little disappointed how some arcs were rushed closer to the end, but I understand it's executive meddling.
Yeah that's true, I remember seeing it at book fairs as a kid and passing on it for the Marvel Age Spider-Man stuff because I thought it look cooler and it had quick snapping reading cause it's a kids comic lol.
Which I liked older comic artstyles as a kid but it was was less that like stiff kinda Marvel 70's early 80's stuff Spider-Girl looks like and more the Golden Age to like late 60's more stylized look this style is kinda boring to a kid like I would've thought that Venom was lame compared to Bagley or something.
She looks way too tits here
This panel still makes me laugh, she's so caked up.
Issue 50 has my favourite moment.
I actually just completed my custom Mayday figure today.
Any more Spider-Cake?
loads more
damn I thought we were still a couple days away from the next Mayday thread, not complaining though
Good job. Got any other character in mind?
Being a boomer comic is the appeal. During an age where Marvel was getting Bendis'd up Spider-Girl felt like something from back when Marvel was actually good
Her book was fantastic and felt like a true and genuine successor to the Amazing title. It understood what made Peter's best days work and knew how to adapt them for a teen girl. They're genuine, classic style, good comic books.
Nice. I have the actual Marvel Legends Mayday figure they put out a while back and it's.... well earlier female figures weren't always the best let's just say. She is in dire need of an update and it depresses me that marvel probably sees her a lesser priority to all the other spider verse crap.
I like her friend Raptor.
I never threw money at free to play games outside of this one time.
It’s funny how much of a player May was by nature. Whereas Peter enjoyed his Saturdays in his books, May had a lively social life and acclaim.
This guy gets it.
The older writing style was a godsend. I was majorly turned off by the sudden intrusion of decompressed storytelling after issue 50 or so.
I was thinking J2, but there's a lot of MC2 characters that could use a figure. Someone brought up Raptor and it's a shame she doesn't have a figure at all.
Whereas Peter enjoyed his Saturdays in his books, May had a lively social life and acclaim.
Well she's as much her mother's daughter as she is her dads. And despite what people might have forgotten Pete wasn't without his own game, especially once he graduated.
Man I would get a whole MC2 line. Dark Devil's cool as hell.
I will say, my Mayday is pretty tiny. Even tinier than CT Spidey that's already pretty short. It was a sacrifice for getting base body with good articulation.
I really like Mayday's superhero supporting cast, The Warriors, Fantastic Five, and A-Next. These would all make great figures. Actually just remembered Kaine had that team of ex-villains too. A lot of Mayday's villains were goofy nobodies, but I'd actually love to have an action figure of Crazy 8.
Oh hey. Lyja. Remember her? I do. Fondly.
Lyja my beloved. I will never forgive Slott for making her a whore then making it so she can never return to earth
I fucking love Crazy 8, Funny Face on the other hand is lame as Hell. Honestly feel he's got potential as a B-List villain at least if they brought him back today.
I'm in a decent mood for drawing for you guys. Have any requests?
Oh gee I can never think of anything good on the spot. A nice pic of Raptor wouldn't go unappreciated though.
Raptor judging Normie for his goofy Tattoos.
It says THE SPIDER THE
I love how stupid they look, Venom did the man a solid by taking them away.
Requesting Mayday admiring an action figure of herself.
