The old costume was much better.

Much better. I wouldn't mind a redesign, I'm not against change, I just agree with you both. It's to much like the new Batgirl.

Marvel only freaked out because the internet freaked out. If nobody had complained Marvel wouldn't have thought twice about it.

As for the new Batgirl... er, Spider-Woman costume, it's not bad. I love the glasses and the new emblem. The rest of it is pretty mediocre, though. At the end of the day, though, she still isn't Julia Carpenter so whatever.

At the very least, the new costume is able to convey the fact that she's a spider-based superheroine better than the original.

About to get my Venom Vol 1 in the mail soon. Can't wait to start reading some Flash Thompson! How do you guys feel about this story & character? I'd like some insight before I happen to delve into the comic myself. Thanks in advanced!

That's solely based on the fact they gave this one a very obvious logo though.

Flash Thomspon is my favorite character to ever bear the mantle of Venom so that should tell you enough

Mike Colter has been cast as Luke Cage.

Never heard of him before now to be honest...

ElConvoy · 12-22-2014, 04:04 PM

Havent heard of him either but I like that Marvel is once again going for more unknown actors to portray these characters.

Thessair · 12-22-2014, 04:05 PM

I think he was mentioned in the articles with Krysten Ritter's casting as playing Cage.
