That last pic that Rob Hewitt posted on the previous page looks a lot better than any of the previous shots we've seen.  Looks like it was drawn by Mark Bagley maybe?

The only thing I do find interesting about this whole thing is having Peter Parker and Tony Stark interacting.  These are my two favorite Marvel characters, so that much has my curiosity piqued.

They will interact and Peter will take Tony's side in Civil War-but i have a feeling it won't last long and that's when he will go back to the red and blues

There's been a lot of pretty cool interaction between Tony and peter lately in the Spider-man books since New Avengers

No stingers helps.

What the new suit can do SPOILERS (I think it could work for a story, if only to show why he doesn't need this stuff)

NRAMA: All right, now - the new costume specifically. What about Peter's emerging new abilities necessitates him needing a new costume with mechanical abilities?

JMS: It's not a matter of his powers necessitating the costume, as it is a case of coming closer to Tony in friendship and alliance. This is Tony's gift to Peter, but it also in a way kind of works to subsume Peter and Spidey under the Stark umbrella, and that has any number of hidden costs that Peter is going to run into.

NRAMA: We're sure you don't want to ruin any surprises, but what features of the new costume can you talk about? For instance, what is the function of the three arms/"pincher claws"?

JMS: The eyepieces in the suit can allow him to zoom in to objects at a reasonable distance and can record what they see; it's returned the webbing beneath his arms (which can come and go) and gives him the ability to glide for very short distances (as many spiders can glide on air currents). It has reinforced body armor, a GPS system, a built in communications system, and the arms can extend or retract from a system on his back. They can look around corners so that he can see the image in his eyepieces, much as army personnel now have video cameras that can look around corners, handle delicate work, and they can be used somewhat in a fight, but not a lot because they're not really meant for that.

NRAMA: For the record, why is there three of them? Given Peter has four other limbs, wouldn't four arms have made a certain amount of sense?

JMS: Joe Q drew three. Don't know why. I kinda thought four would give it symmetry and make it more spider-like, but I think Joe was going for something with a different silhouette, which makes it kind of eerie to look at...which has benefits of its own.

JMS: Joe Q drew three. Don't know why.

Perhaps being able to count isn't a prerequisite for running the worlds largest comic book company?

QUOTE: This is in reference to one of Roger Stern's stories, right?

That happened in his Will "O" the Wisp story.

I'm sorry. This is not Spiderman.  I simply don't recognise Peter parker anymore. Aunt may and Mary Jane are 1 dimensional. Whatever happened to MJs spirit?  Where are Glory,Jonah, John J, Randy, Robbie R and all of those supporting characters who were once part of the Spidey mythos.  Can Peter David bring back the quips Spidey made with villains..hope so.  He used to wise crack in the face of adversity. I know there has to be change as marvel time progresses but would Peter really loose touch with all of his supporting cast?? No more Esikiel or Spider gods.  Get him 'running' out of web fluid, having a day job, being human. Please, please, give us back peter parker.

This is not Spiderman.
