From Thomas Birdsong

In your bio on the Jackal, you mention that Professor Warren was Peter's biology professor at ESU. However, as I recall, Peter's science teacher back at Midtown High School was also named Warren. (I'm pretty sure he was seen way back in the origin story in Amazing Fantasy #15; don't think he was actually named until ASM #7 or 8 or so.)

It has been a very long time since I've read any of these issues; however, I seem to recall that these two teachers were either the same man or related to each other. Was this true, or am I just getting old old characters mixed up in my old old mind?

I was wondering why you don't seem to have any listing for marvel's epic line's "trouble" title, seeign as the four main characters are named may, ben, richard, and mary. Also am I the only person who finds it a bit troubling that if the rumors are true, and these are the same mary, may, richard, and ben...why is richard a popular stud and not the scientific supersmart father we've read about in every spiderman title? Also why is the conservative aunt may played off as a frisky nympho?

There have been strong rumors that these are the same mary may ben and richard, I would just like to see a spot opened specifically for the "trouble" titles, mostly because I am curious as hell as to what you and other spiderman fans think of this. Personally, I love the title as it stands on it's own, but if it is indeed tied to Spiderman I feel it somehow taints that whole wholesomeness Spidey has been made of for forty years, granted I ove shock therapy and feel some things need to be shaken up a bit, but this , if it is indeed tied to Spidey, contradicts everything we have ever been shown about the four paternal/maternal characters, and sheds them either in a bad light or in some way that goes against the characters we have read over the years.

Ben, supposedly a stand tall man who has a bit of a rough spot is seen in trouble issue three getting his but kicked and dunked in a toilet. Richard Parker, a stand tall scince type who was always displayed as being much like Peter is seen in the trouble title as sort of a sexist asshole....It'd be kind of messed up to think that Richard, dad to Peter, was more like old school flash thompson. Heck, he even looks like Peter. I do like how May and Mary both seem to hint at why Peter loves Gwen and Mary Jane so much, they all look exactly alike. Also this would be confusing seeing as May is the pregnant one here...that'd really turn Spiderman into Jerry Springer if May were his mom and Richard was his dad, but Ben is his uncle, Mary was his actual Aunt but played his mom.!

can you please tell me (if you know and want to tell me) when the new spider-man encyclopedia will be for sale in the stores?

From Norrinraad

I love the site and all the reviews and news, etc. I would suggest though that perhaps the emphasis on reviews be placed on more improtant titles than Spider-Man 2099 (which I doubt many people actually care about) and picture books that likewise really don't need reviewing. You guys were on the right track when Marvel Team-Up Volume 1 was being reviewed issue by issue but I notice that has stopped. What a shame! A great idea would be to take a discontinued series, like say Web Of Spider-Man, and review it right from the beginning straight on through! Now that would be cool! have Al do an issue or two a month. Wasting review space on Spider-Man 2099 may not be the best thing to do. Of course, that series may have a huge fan base but somehow I sincerely doubt it! Just a thought...

Are there any small parts availible for Spider-Man 3? If so, where could I get one?

From Frank

Hi, after reading your review of "1602" i purchased the first issue and loved it, but i'm not sure if i love it enough to spend 3.50 an issue, could you please tell me how many issues they are planning to release, or if there is a price drop in the near future. Also, if it isnt too much trouble, do you know if it is a wekkly, bi-weekly or monthly series?

From Spike261

Hi. I'm a huge fan of Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man in particular. Most likely like everyone else, I was confused by the lack of a title in issue #17. However, the other day I purchased the trade paperback third volume which includes #17. I noticed in the table of contents that the title of #17 is "Taking Advantage." It's anyone's guess why the title wasn't included in the original issue, but oh, well. I just thought you'd like to know this little tidbit of info.

Dear sir

I am a year 15 year old student from Glendale High School in Australia and I have to do a project on a business and its products, services etc and I have chose Marvel as the business I would like to do a project on. I was just wondering if you knew where I could find out more information about the history of your company. If you could send me an email with the info it would really help.

From HenryBand

In regards to Peter's letter, he is totally off about that comment made about Buffy The Vampire Slayer. A Vampire Slayer was created to be be stronger than every (non-supernaturally enhanced) human in the world. That puts her in the same strength category as Spider-man. I am not biased, I am a huge fan of BOTH characters, but I am quick to point out the facts. The Slayer is stronger than almost all vampires, with the exception of old powerful or exceptionally large Vampires. Spider-man commented when he first encountered Morbius (and Blade) how strong he is. Also in the Buffy episode in season 4 "A new man", Buffy's soldier boyfriend Riley comments (after her landing a kick on him that send him flying ACROSS the room) "You're strong, like Spider-man Strong!" To which she joked that she is but she just doesn't stick to things. I was just pointing all of this out in fairness to both. Thank you.
