I can't wait to see Spiderman 3 myself and that pic is awesome! This movie is going to be jam-packed. It's got the New Green Goblin and Sandman, along with the alien symbiote that's responsible for Spidey's new costume. They may even have thrown Venom in there too I'm ready to see this movie now!

THank you for sharing, it looks exciting.

Love,
Ramute.

Ahhh, the simbiote......
(Long ago I was a spider-man fan. )
As far as I remember it could multiply "itself", and was only weak to special ultra-high frequency sounds...: D

I definitely heard there was someone playing Eddie Brock, so Venom isa safe bet ... !

Going to see Ghost Rider with AggressorBrad this Sunday! Also looking to see Rocky Balboa sometimes.

Until I can see Spider-Man 3, I'll just have to tough it out with those movies atthe cinema and rewatching the odd super-hero movie I've got on DVD (Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Hulk, X-Men I, II & III, Sin City (okay - anti-hero ... and speaking of 'anti-heroes'), Punisher ...

It's a great time for super-hero fans at the movies!

We have the first movie...the kids watch it over & over again. I liked it too. More than likely I will see this one eventually.

Nope. The alien (which was a simbiotic lifeform) was able to multiply itself, and copied the genetics of the previous host. So in the comic, there were 3 "spider mans". 1 original and two evil copies.
(Of course the two other was not a "Peter Parker" clone, because they infected others. If I remember correctly, one of them was one of Parker's friend, but I can't remeber who was the second...
(Hehe, I told you that I was a fan... )

I was, when I was young.

Ohh, then do not read my previous post......

The story is much more than just about the spiderman ... There
is a fantastic love story under it.

That's like The Crow with Brandon Lee. Some people categorized it as a horror film, some as action. But it's considered by others as a romance (with action in it, of course).

Stomyr, I thought it was instinctively agreed amongst comic book fans that there would never be any mention of 'The Clone Saga' again!

Hmm ... okay, the symbiote originally came from the planet of the Secret Wars. It came from a machine and Spidey thought it was a costume-making machine. Ultimately, he found out it was alive. With the help of the Fantastic Four, he divested himself of it (ultrasonics), whereupon it was stored in Reed Richards' lab for future study. In an issue of Fantastic Four, a strange flying doohickey drilled a hole in the symbiote's prison, whereupon it escaped. It found someone who hated Peter as much as it did (because Peter had rejected it) - Eddie Brock. Brock became Venom.

Apparently, the symbiote then left a piece of itself somewhere (which is how it reproduces), which joined with a serial killer to become Carnage. And, of course, the two symbiote-wearers don't like each other, so it's Venom vs Carnage with spider-Man caught in the middle.

Thus ended the couple of paragraphs review of decades of Marvel Comics.

Oh, and I read the old 'Jackal' story way back when (the starting point for the clone saga, apparently, when Peter changed to 'Peter' (Ben)).

Clear as mud?

And people get paid for this ... ?!?

In the newer version of the comic (the 'Ultimates' line), the symbiote was something manufactured in a lab with a sample of Peter's blood, by Doc Conners (aka The Lizard). Uh ... don't know if that was 'Ultimate Carnage' or 'Ultimate Venom'. Can't keep up - comics cost $ 7 apiece over here (!), so I'm not buying hundreds a month like I used to way back when ... ! But I am checking out what I can through library Trade Paperbacks!

Thx, for the complementation, and for the fixing.

You're welcome ... but ask me about what's happening in comics today and I'll have to hunt up a 'blank stare' smiley!
