I find this to be a fundamentally - simple yet grievously underutilized - principle of life. Those weak of morals and integrity attack the vulnerable and less fortunate. The strong have an obligation to defend the weak and innocent. Either we choose goodness, or we are not good.

Keeping this short and sweet. Like married Peter Parker? Like Ultimate Spider-Man? Want a great group to talk about it with? Our Discord welcomes you. discord.gg/VQ2mHzBBFu

I’m tired. Issue 14 of Ultimate Spider-Man has left me exhausted. But NOT in a negative way. I’m drained like a man after a rollercoaster, my nerves on edge, my muscles tensed up, my heart pounding. USM14 is relentless. Absolutely check it out. The wait for #15 now begins.

Ultimate Spider-Man has been such an appreciated and amazing book. Tomorrow’s issue should be explosive. If you love comics, this run has been nothing short of surprising, exciting, fresh, and satisfying. See what the fuss is about!

Sometimes I just need a good, fun, entertaining fantasy adventure. I got that in @philipreeve.bsky.social's Larklight series. Easy recommendation if you're in need of an imagination boost with a colorful cast of characters. Also, support your local libraries, folks!

Toxicity is a problem in all fandoms. I can only vow to do my part to be a positive force within it, and advocate for others to be the change and positivity you're looking for.

Our Spider-Fam Community Discord is having a bit of fun looking back at the previous year of Ultimate Spider-Man and celebrating our favorite moments, covers, characters, and more. What was YOUR favorite default cover for USM in 2024? #UltimateSpiderMan

It's easy to be cynical and negative about 616 Spider-Man comics at times. Our Spider-Fam Community is here to celebrate the GOOD in comics, the joy these characters bring to our lives, the bright future that awaits, and our role in helping it get there! Hope to see you soon! discord.gg/VQ2mHzBBFu

I could (and maybe I will?) break down the Raimi Spider-Man movies as remaining phenomenal examples of understanding and getting Spider-Man right at his very core. For me, this one moment is a perfect 3 minutes, and it has no powers or costume. 1/4 t.co/kNxbHZSGd6

Spider-Man fans have been BEGGING Marvel for DECADES to stop looking to the past and start looking to the future. If YOU want a comic that isn't trapped in its own history and isn't scared of progress, our Spider-Fam Discord is a place you can call home and enact change. discord.gg/VQ2mHzBBFu

I’ve been lax at promoting our Spider-Fam Discord lately, and that’s no good. Because we’re on FIRE lately. We’ve had the good fortune to hear from several legendary creators, and we’ll be celebrating Rob Frenz’s contributions later today. Spider-Girl fans, get hyped! discord.gg/VQ2mHzBBFu

I have no reasonably expectations that Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four will have any meaningful crossover in the MCU, but it would be nice. They’ve been part of his life since ASM #1, a second family to him, and he’s widely accepted as the unofficial 5th member.

Superman wasn’t created in an era of peace. He was created by two Jewish immigrants at a time of political upheaval when hateful people were in power and seeking to harm others for the crime of being different. We needed heroes like Superman to show us the way and inspire us back then, and today.

Peter Parker should suffer. But he should suffer because we all suffer in life - with money, education, relationships, illness, death of loved ones, etc. Spider-Man should also win. Because we all need to know that success, growth, and lasting love is attainable for us too.

Mail call. I know I’ve already said it, but Ultimate Spider-Man is truly something special. Smart, ambitious, patient, creative, subversive, and satisfying. Support this incredible book if you can!

Wishing a very happy birthday to the great Sal Buscema! Working with Sal on Spider-Man remains one of the major highlights of my career. He can draw everything from big action to quiet human moments and weave it all together with grace and power. A wonderful collaborator and a truly good guy.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live.

You know, the world can't be all bad when Jeff the Landshark exists and I can even play as him in Marvel Rivals. I owe a lot of serotonin boosts to @kellythompson.bsky.social .

Marvel was right not to reveal more than one page of Ultimate Spider-Man #13 in the previews. This issue has some incredible surprises. Hickman is making it look easy, and Checchetto’s art is captivating. 13-for-13 and pound for pound the best Spider-Man book on the market.

The world needs people who aspire to be more like Superman.

One of MY personal favorite comics of all time is Kraven's Last Hunt, and Ultimate Spider-Man promising a love letter to it this week is sure to be worth your attention and support! Ultimate Spider-Man #13 is out Wednesday tomorrow!

I know Conan is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 tomorrow. It seems my local library felt I should get caught up. Time for a lot of reading.

Today, tomorrow, and every day after… know that every little bit helps. Just doing what you can makes a difference.
