In honor of Spider-Man's 60th anniversary this year, and with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now in theaters we're turning our attention to the time Peter Parker celebrated his birthday - and was flung through time and space! This week's episode covers the "Happy Birthday" arc from the J. Michael Straczynski/John Romita Jr. run of Amazing Spider-Man, specifically Amazing Spider-Man #57-58 and the landmark Amazing Spider-Man #500. We talk about how surprisingly emotional this storyline was for Peter Parker, and how Doctor Strange factored into the plot as well as his nemesis, the Dread Dormammu.

It's our 50th episode! Thank you all for continuing with us on our journey through the Spider-Verse. As we're in the middle of Moon Knight Season 1, why not discuss that time in the multiverse when Peter Parker fused with Marc Spector to become the Arachknight? Why is this version of the web-slinger so fresh from anything else we've seen? We also discuss Moon Knight episodes 3 and 4 and where we think the last two episodes will go, discuss the news of Across the Spider-Verse being delayed again to June 2023, and much more!   Follow Into the Spider-Cast on Twitter @IntoSpiderCast and Instagram @intothespidercast.   Follow the hosts on Twitter @CJWritesThings and @spiderswarz.   Support local Black Lives Matter chapters and affiliate causes and organizations.

We're back! After our hiatus, we're not talking about the Morbius film (or at least Swara isn't since he refuses to go to theaters to see it) and we discuss the second cohort of episodes in the Neogenic Nightmare arc of Spider-Man The Animated Series that features not only Morbius, but Blade and the Punisher as well! Why is this such a great adaptation? How is Peter pushed to his brink here? CJ also gives his thoughts on the Morbius fim, we discuss the first two episodes of Moon Knight, and much more!    Follow Into the Spider-Cast on Twitter @IntoSpiderCast and Instagram @intothespidercast.   Follow the hosts on Twitter @CJWritesThings and @spiderswarz.   Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes and organizations.

To start off the new year, we go back and discuss one of CJ's favorite stories, J. Michael Straczynski's sublime Spider-Man comic run, "Coming Home."

With only two weeks until the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, we decided to discuss our thoughts on the most recent trailer, along with our thoughts on what might happen. How will Peter Parker fare with villains from alternate universes? Which villains are we looking forward to seeing? Will the film be able to juggle multiversal shenanigans with Spidey's secret identity being revealed to the world? And will this finally be the Marvel Studios project where Mephisto makes his grand appearance?

This week, we're joined by our special guest LaNeysha Campbell to discuss the anime phenomenon My Hero Academia-specifically, the similarities that Izuku "Deku" Midorya shares with Peter Parker. How was MHA creator Kohei Horikoshi inspired by the Spider-Man mythos? How does Deku's rivalry/friendship with Katsuki Bakugo mirror that of Spidey and the Human Torch's? And what of Deku's new abilities, Blackwhip and Danger Sense-which also happen to mirror Spidey's web-slinging and Spider-Sense? We also give our thoughts on Eternals and the new Morbius trailer!   Spoilers for all of the My Hero Academia anime throughout the episode.   You can follow Neysha on Twitter and Instagram at @NeyshaPlays.   Follow Into the Spider-Cast on Twitter @IntoSpiderCast and Instagram @intothespidercast.   Follow the hosts on Twitter @CJWritesThings and @spiderswarz.   Please support us on Patreon!   Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes and organizations.

This week, we're joined by our special guest James Whitbrook to discuss the infamous "One More Day" storyline and its follow-up "One Moment In Time." After a little over a decade, how do both stories hold up? What are our thoughts on the Mephisto of it all, and how the story only highlights how strong Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's relationship is? And how will elements of these stories influence the plot of Spider-Man: No Way Home? We also discuss the shifting of multiple films under Marvel Studios' banner and the reason for the said shift.   Follow James on Twitter at @Jwhitbrook and read his article on this subject and other workon io9.   Follow Into the Spider-Cast on Twitter @IntoSpiderCast and Instagram @intothespidercast.   Follow the hosts on Twitter @CJWritesThings and @spiderswarz.   Please support us on Patreon!   Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes and organizations.

We return to Spider-Man The Animated Series! We discuss the "Spider-Slayers" two-part arc that sets up many elements for the series going forward, delving into the setup of Spider-Man's villains, love life, and our first introduction to one Felicia Hardy.

We are joined by our special guest Anthony Canton of the MCUniversity Podcast to discuss Amazing Spider-Man #700, which served as the official start of the Superior Spider-Man era. This issue saw Peter Parker, who was trapped in Doctor Octopus' dying body, attempt to stop Ock from claiming his life as Spider-Man. How did Ock and Peter differ from each other? How did Peter's friends and family react to his new demeanor? And why was one part surprisingly emotional?

We are joined by our special guest Lys to discuss the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Run Pig Run," which guest stars Loki! In this episode, we discuss how the God of Mischief transforms Peter Parker into Spider-Ham via an enchanted hot dog (yes, really) and sets him up at the prize boar in the Asgardian Wild Hunt. Suffice it to say, this episode was weird. We also talk about Lys' love of Loki and Spidey, the Eternals trailer, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings having an exclusive theatrical release, and the "streaming vs theaters" debate.   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

We are joined by special guest Jordan Maison to discuss the first half of the "Neogenic Nightmare" storyline from Spider-Man: The Animated Series' second season. How does Peter Parker deal with the fact that his body may be mutating into something inhuman? How does Mary Jane Watson outwit a superpowered stalker in the form of Hydro-Man? What did we think of the crossover with X-Men: The Animated Series? And how did censorship lead to the Sinister Six being renamed to the "Insidious Six?" We also discuss the Loki Season 1 finale and its implications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and when we expect a trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

We are joined by Zach of spidey-dude.com to discuss the seminal Ben Reilly series of the mid-1990s, "Spider-Man: The Lost Years" by J.M. DeMatteis. What would you do if you found out you were a clone? How would you react if you had Spider-Powers in the process? What would a grittier version of a Spider-Man story look like?

We continue our discussion of Saladin Ahmed's run of "Miles Morales: Spider-Man" with Vol. 2 of the series, "Bring on the Bad Guys," which collects issues 7-10. What did we think of the intense storyline presented in this issue, and whether it was handled well overall? Why is it so important that Miles' family be featured at the center of this story arc? We also discuss the news of a new Silk showrunner, delve into what's been happening on Loki in its first two episodes, and much more!   Spoiler discussion for the first two episodes of Loki from 8:19-18:23   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

We're back! Discussing the first season of Invincible on Amazon Prime! While not *technically* part of the Spider-Verse, Mark Grayson (AKA Invincible) has a tremendous amount in common with Peter Parker and all the other Spider-People. What makes Mark such a relatable hero in his particular struggles? How did the Invincible comic and show elevate the superhero medium? We also discuss a LOT of news, including that Issa Rae has been cast as Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) in Into the Spider-Verse 2, Aaron Taylor Johnson has been cast as Sony's Kraven, Oscar Isaac being *officially* confirmed as Moon Knight, and who the villain of Spider-Man: No Way Home might be and what that means!

This week, Swara and CJ decide to pause from a focused discussion on a piece of Spider-Content and instead discuss what's generally on our minds, real-world and fictional, in this episode that is effectively one long back-and-forth Spider-Sense section. We hope that through this episode, you, the listener, will get to know us better and our interests beyond the Spider-Verse (although we do inevitably discuss some of that as well). Also, Spider-Man says Free Palestine. Enjoy listening!   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

In this episode, we are joined by special guest Anthony Otero to discuss the culture represented in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The major point of discussion: how Miles as a Puerto Rican and Afro-Latino superhero has different relationships and connections to his parents and their respective heritage. We also discuss Miles' relationship with his Uncle Aaron-better known as the Prowler-and how the game addresses the Black Lives Matter movement and the passing of Chadwick Boseman. We also discuss the Into the Spider-Verse sequel gaining a new trio of deals, Sony striking yet ANOTHER streaming deal to place their films and TV shows including the Spider-Man franchise on Disney's streaming services, a certain actor's tidbits about Spider-Man: No Way Home, and our thoughts on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's finale and the announcement of Captain America 4.   Read Anthony's article "Spider-Man: Miles Morales is Uniquely Harlem"   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

In this episode (which we recorded on CJ’s birthday!), we discuss the 2006 comic “Marvel Team-Up #14: Spider-Man Meets Invincible” in which our favorite wall-crawler meets a superhero from a whole other universe that isn’t in the Marvel Multiverse (namely that of Image Comics). Now that’s a REAL crossover. We discuss what these iconic heroes have in common, how we enjoyed their meetup, and how they each represent their respective comic universes. We also discuss the latest news about the Into the Spider-Verse sequel, Sony striking an exclusive deal with Netflix for streaming cinematic Spider-verse content, and our thoughts on the latest Falcon and Winter Soldier episode.   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

We return to Spider-Man The Animated Series and Venom with our guest, filmmaker Jon Lee Brody! We discuss the classic "Alien Costume" storyline, how good the introduction of Venom and Eddie Brock is in the first major animated Marvel universe, and overall why this arc was so much better than Spider-Man 3. But before that, we discuss the endemic of xenophobia, hatred, and attacks against Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in the US and what we can all do to stop it. We also discuss Spider-Man No Way Home wrapping its filming, discuss the various ins and outs of working in Hollywood with Jon, and much more!   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

To close out Black History Month, CJ and Swara discuss the first full appearance of Hobie Brown of Earth-138, AKA The Anarchic Spider-Man, AKA Spider-Punk, in "Edge of Spider-Geddon" #1 from 2018. Why is Hobie such a great character that feels relevant for our times? How does this comic do a good job of exploring oppressive systems on the marginalized and why we must resist them, whatever dimension that we're in? Before that, we discuss the news of Spider-Man 3's new title, "No Way Home," what it might mean for MCU Peter, how we think WandaVision is going to affect that film and the MCU at large, and much more!   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

As we are both currently obsessed with WandaVision, we decided to delve into the source material with Spider-Man: House of M, a five-part miniseries from 2005 that came as a result of the House of M event across Marvel Comics. What is Peter Parker's apparent "ideal life" in a reality where mutants reign supreme? How does this comic utilize aspects of the Spidey mythos to explore Peter's deepest desires? Why does Spider-Man feel a kind of "survivor's guilt" in this comic, and how does that affect his actions? How does this comic arc parallel with WandaVision and the themes explored on the show? We also discuss the apparent casting news of who Sony wanted for their Kraven the Hunter spinoff film, tell the audience what's on our Spider-Sense, and much more!   TW for discussion of suicide from 48:15-52:20   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

CJ and Swara continue their discussion of Cindy Moon's first comic series with  Silk: Sinister by Robbie Thompson. What do we make of the predicament Cindy has gotten herself into with Black Cat? How well do we think this story handles Cindy's mental health storyline, and why does she continue to be such a relatable character? What do we make of the villains in this run?

We're back after our Holiday Hiatus!

Trigger Warning/Content Warning for the first part of this episode: harassment, predatory behavior, sexual assault In the past few weeks, many in the comics and gaming industries have spoken up about the abuse and harassment they have received from prominent figures in these industries. Among those accused of predatory behavior are creators of Spider-Gwen's first series, Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez. We believe and stand with the victims and everyone else speaking up about the abuse they've endured. In this episode, we discuss the systemic problems of sexism, misogyny, and predatory behavior in the comics industry, and how the comics industry must work to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for creators and fans. We discuss how these toxic issues played into the making of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), and how this movie failed Gwen Stacy in particular so horribly.   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?
