The introduction to Mattie Franklin from “Amazing Spider-Man” issue 441 . This was the final issue of the series before it was rebooted to back to issue 1 and we are straight in the middle of the “Gathering of the Five/Final Chapter” mess. As some of us know, Mattie had a role in the recent “Grim Hunt” storyline so be warned of spoilers in the comment section!
I hope this scene from "Amazing Spider-Man" issue 241 does not start a flame war. On our last Skype chat we talked about the way Mary Jane was portrayed pre-marriage and I brought this scene up.
From "Spectacular Spider-Man" 199. Harry has just been released from the Vault. It’s amazing how much emotion Sal Buscema put into each person’s face. From Liz’s denial, Harry’s evil smugness, Mary Jane’s anger and Normie being…Normie.
This is from "Spectacular Spider-Man" issue 84. I choose this scene because in the comment section of my last post people were talking about the difference in how Felicia looked in the comics and 90’s series. One person […]

actually i prefer the original spider-woman the best.
and that goes for her original origin too.. what is cooler than a spider evolved into a humane… thats just awesome..
Kind of a waste of a character, if you ask me. Considering her power base, I still have huge problems with the way the little 12 year old Kraven kid was able to handle all the Spider-folk….
I liked Mattie, i may be in the minority, but i found her the most appealing of the Spider-Women…but the character that intrigued me the most out of the Gathering storyline, was Mattie’s father…a friend of both Norman Osborn and Marla Madison…i always wanted to know more about him and it was interesting to see only a few degrees of separation btn Marla and Norman that didn’t involve Jonah…
I’m amazed a character who was introduced during this period stuck around so long….
Well… if anything, the number of comments shows just how many people cared…
SPOILER: She’s dead. Oh snap.
