To be honest, the only thing I've seen her in is John Wick 2, so her accent wasn't an issue.

As far as I know just a solid story. On a side note, anyone anticipate movement on New Avengers #11, first Ronin?

Yeah, there are a LOT of instances where they use Miguel O'Hara and Spider-Man 2099 as examples. Seems like they thought that would be the way that SPE would take things if they decided to go the alternate Spider-Man route.

Again, from the addendum: "RIGHTS: SPE has the exclusive right to utilize the “Spider-Man” character and the other Creative Elements listed in Paragraph 1 above to (a) develop and produce live action or animated theatrical motion pictures (each, a “Picture”) and live-action television series (and also animated television series with episodes longer than 44 minutes), during the Production Term, and (b) distribute, advertise and otherwise exploit in perpetuity any motion picture or television series that commenced production during the Production Term."

Sounds like you concede that it's contractually possible, just improbable. In that case I agree with you.

https://wikileaks.org/sony/docs/07/junderwood/1 Corp Dev/Spiderman/Executive Summary of All Deal Points/Executive Summary (Creative).pdf Edit: I guess my post was incorrect as far as stating the 'original' contract, as this is, at least according to the Wikileaks source that started this whole thing, the summary of the most current addendum.

Again, if you look at the original contract, Schedule 3 names Miles Morales BY NAME, Schedule IV states that Spider-Man/Miles Morales can be used as an alternate named Spider-Man costume, and Schedule VI names Spider-Man III (Miles Morales) as a 'Named Character' that SPE is authorized to use in their production. I don't know how much more cut-and-dry that can be. Now, whether that's a good idea, whether it happens or not, or whether it should, all that is irrelevant. I actually don't think it'll happen, and I don't think it'll be successful if it does. However, the contract is what matters, and it's there in black-and-white that by the terms of the original agreement, SPE is contractually allowed to. As for Stan Lee's interview, while I always like hearing his thoughts about Marvel's processes, is an opinion piece at best, and as one of the co-creators it's obvious that he'd want the character to remain as true to his original vision as possible.

From the original contract: " Alternate Versions Of Spider-Man Character . If SPE depicts an alternative version of Spider-Man (i.e., not Peter Parker), then: SPE must use the alternative version’s civilian alter ego" This seems to indicate that Spider-Man does not always have to be Peter Parker...

Do you have an additional source that I'm not privy to, or is my Google-fu failing me, because I'm not seeing where it stipulates that only Peter Parker can be Spider-Man anywhere in the contractual sources that I'm able to find.

I believe you're reading that contract incorrectly. There are two different lists of character traits that Sony must abide by, one for Spider-Man (whether Peter Parker or an alternative Spider-Man character), and one for Peter Parker, and it doesn't stipulate that "Spider-Man" has to be caucasian, only that "Peter Parker or *his* Spider-Man alter ego" has to be caucasian.

Yeah, I just dug one out of a box yesterday that I'd forgotten about and have been trying to price it, but it's all over the place.

Breaking news from 2 weeks ago! Do you still get your porn delivered in a brown paper wrapper too? Post dates are important...

Don't know if this is old news or not, but anything Deathstroke is about to explode; New Teen Titans #2 is already going for ~$200.00 more than it was last week due to confirmed appearance as the main villain in the new Batman solo movie.

Looks like some interest after Marvel declared her the 'smartest person in the Marvel Universe' at SDCC. :shrug:

Agreed, but Pulse 11/13 is hardly 'big money', and may be worth the gamble. This is, after all, a 'pre-heat' thread.

Hopefully she wasn't introduced in a test tube

Correct. Marvel's 'The Pulse' 11 or 13 I believe. 11 has her on the cover, but I don't think she's introduced into the story until 13. Could be wrong though, didn't really follow it.

And just to chime in for anyone who doesn't know firsthand, my opinion is that Brett, the store owner in question, is one of the good ones. His store is small and unassuming, but when I was a regular customer he used to consistently impress me with his passion and knowledge, and has helped a lot of local artists get books published and on the shelves. The store gives back to the community in many unselfish ways, and they ran some of the best Free Comic Book Days I've ever been lucky enough to attend. I truly hope that we continue to see more Ssalefish exclusives, because that means he and his store are still doing well. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to help a brother out with the purchase of a $40 exclusive variant.

Speculators?

Apparently they're pumping a LOT of money into the effect budget. Of course, effects don't necessarily make a story any better, but it seems with Del Toro's name and the rumored budget, this is something that more likely than not will make it to air. Waits to be seen (thumbs u

My LCS owner stated that this was a "free return on over-orders" comic for them. Any verification?

RR = 2011 Revival = 2012 I still think Revival would make for better television viewing than Rachel Rising. The story seems to lend itself to serialization (Floppies/Television) better, whereas Rachel Rising seems better in condensed (TPB/Movie) form.

The pricing would actually be buy 1 for $2 or buy 2 for $6, which makes absolutely no sense. My point is that if your reading on a month to month, you're going to pay full retail per issue. But, if you're coming into the series late, comixology is giving you and incentive to go ahead and spend the more $$$ on a digital trade to save money. That's the way it is in most cases I have seen (trade is a better buy), but not so in this case I guess. Point, you can buy Rachel Rising 1-6 as singles on comixology for $11 or the trade for $10. If you spring for the single #1, you may not come back for #2. If you buy the trade, that's more $$$ for comixology up front. It just makes business sense to price all trades lower than what singles can be had for. Understand and agree. Just strange that, like you, I've always been accustomed to the trades being cheaper than the floppies, and in think it's strange they decided that in this particular case the trade was 'worth' more. Convenience when it comes to singles I can see, not so much with digital.

The pricing would actually be buy 1 for $2 or buy 2 for $6, which makes absolutely no sense.

1. Image Logo 2. Black and White Artwork 3. Timing That being said I love Revival, but in my opinion RR is a better story. Definitely timing. Image logo sure helps too. Well honestly I have never even heard of Rachel Rising until people in this thread complained that its Revival done better. But I'm attached to Revival so I see no reason to abandon a good story line just because someone thinks someone else story is better. That's like jumping out of a perfectly good ship in the middle of the ocean because someone thinks the ship 5 miles off in the distance may have better food. And yes, it's a terrible simile but it made me laugh so to all you haters. That's akin to someone not reading All-New X-Men just because they read Uncanny X-Men, or saying that someone shouldn't read Walking Dead because just like so many stories out there it's about people coming back from the dead. Just different perspectives on the same underlying theme. Believe me, I'm not taking anything away from Revival, I absolutely love the series, as does my wife. I'll continue to read both, but I'm still intellectually curious about why one has gained the popularity it has when the other, as you yourself said, has people that have never even heard of it before.
