If J. Jonah Jameson had that to run as a headline, I’m sure it would be in 120 point all-caps that takes up the top half of the Daily Bugle front page. He might even go on the evening news to proclaim his hatred for the wall crawler.
A pizza restaurant in Tacoma was robbed on Monday night. That’s probably the norm for many a Papa Murphy’s across the country, but this time the robber decided to wear a Spider-Man ski-mask as he made off with the cash.
The bandit robbed the employees, then fled. No one was hurt.A police dog searched for the robber but did not find him.
Well duh, he was dressed as Spider-Man. He probably used his fantastic wall crawling powers to scale the building out of dog sniffing range.
A lot of websites are reporting the rumor from their various sources that claim H’Wood is looking at Anne Hathaway to play Black Cat in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie.
Nikki Finke has a lot of insiders at the studios and reports
While Sony Pictures insists no decisions have been made, sources tell me that the producers have approached Anne Hathaway to star in the film.
As we have no inside sources in H’Wood, which is probably a good idea on so many levels, we’re just going by the stories everyone else is running. I’m not sold on Hathaway in anything other than a Disney movie from 9 years ago. What do you, The Major Spoiler Legion think? Does Hathaway do it for you, or should the studio keep looking?
Joe Quinones has a bunch of variant covers coming up for the Amazing Spider-Man series from Marvel. All are awesome, but I particularly like his take on Sandman.
Yup, more Marvel promos for the Siege series. This one from Siege: The Cabal, which arrives December 2, 2009.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m learning the ukulele, and YouTube is a perfect place to find lessons and tutorials on playing the instrument. I’ve almost nailed the Spider-Man theme song, and it’s all thanks to this installment of the Friday Sing-Along. If you play the uke, this installment is a perfect combo of singing and learning.
In 1985, Marvel published the first issue of The Web of Spider-Man. As the third Spider-Man title at the time, it ran for 10 years before the events of the original Clone Saga caused it to be canceled and renamed The Web of the Scarlet-Spider. Is it ironic that we have come full circle?
Apparently that whole Mephisto wish has given Spider-Man a bit more time to pursue his other activities; namely running a rick-shaw around NYC and getting passengers to throw up.
We love featuring Adam Hughes in the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day, as we wrap the week with his Spider-Man piece from this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
Today’s installment features art by Edgar Delgado from the cover of Venom #17. Things don’t look to good for Spidey.
With all the comic book work artists are deluged with, it is a wonder so many of them have time to do commissions. Heubert Kahn Michael cracks open the commissions, and delivers up a nice Spider-Man/Mary Jane piece.
Press Release

James Vanderbilt has signed by Sony to write the fourth installment of the Spider-Man movie franchise. Although that might seem like a big announcement for some, it’s kind of late news as Vanderbilt already turned in the first draft of the flick, with two other writers (David Lindsay-Abaire and Gary Ross) to do the rewrites. The bigger news is he is also on board as the writer for movies five and six.
Spider-Man 4 is currently in pre-production, with a 2010 production date, so everything can be wrapped and the film in theaters by May 2011.

Poor Peter Parker. Here’s Weird Al Yankovic with his Ode to a Superhero.
If you don’t have the Disney XD channel on your cable box, or if you are someone who just refuses to pay for overpriced drek, you can still get your 1990’s Spider-Man animated series fix over on the Marvel website. The first episode kicked off this week, and Marvel plans on releasing one new episode each week until all 65 of the original episodes are online for your amusement.
Best of all, the streaming video is free, so you won’t be out anything besides 30 minutes of your day.
