Peter Parker reveals his idenity as Spiderman.

Heard about this cross over. From What I read so far has been awsome. Spidey even revealed his idenity to the world.

What crossover is it? Is this canon?

Fair warning: I cannot talk about this issue without major spoilers, so please do not read this review if you don't want them.

Still here?

Seriously, there will be spoilers!

You asked for it...Spider-Man unmasks in this issue, and it is freaking glorious. I really did not believe Marvel would do it, which probably means I haven't been reading enough background press - it seems like this sort of thing would have been announced. It's a controversial move - absent some horrible bullshit cosmic plot reversal, it changes the character forever. My opinion on this is, Thank God. Spider-Man is one of the most recognized heroes in the Marvel Universe, and it's time for him to get the respect he's deserved for 40-something years. Also, J. Jonah Jameson's reaction is about as wonderful as one might expect (to preserve some suspense, I will not tell you exactly what it is).

Also in this issue, there's a whole bunch of stuff with the actual plot of the Civil War. It's less interesting (to me) than the Spidey stuff, but it's pretty cool - the Young Avengers get recruited, we find out how Nick Fury is handling all of this, and the tide of public opinion continues to waver dangerously. Despite my happiness about Spider-Man, I have a bad feeling that this story isn't going to end well for Tony Stark. Mark Millar seems to be building up to a pretty big payoff, and I am definitely sticking this ride out.

Hmm, interesting stuff. I wonder how that will pan out? It's not like superheroes to give away their identities (even though Spidey was doing it all the way through Spider-Man 2...).

Well, there was the trainload of people, Harry, Doc Ock, and Mary Jane. And, yeah, Doc Ock died, and the train people didn't know who he was, but, you have to admit that was a lot of unmasking for one movie. I can't think of any other one that compares.

Back to topic. I think this will change Marvel for some time to come.

Yaaaay, another publicity stunt to get people to buy comic books again, yaaaay!

Or maybe this'll tie in with Spider-Man 3 (the film) ...

Working behind a full mask is a bitch for film, which is why there was so much unmasking in Spidey 2.
I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

Is that really the reason why?

I thought it was just bad writing. I wasn't really a fan of Spidey 2. I'm think I'm the only one.

And Parker still looks 15 in that picture. How old is he meant to be, continuity wise? I'm assuming about 30-odd?

War does not make one great.

Continuity wise he should be 70 by now.

No, in his 60s at latest. But I agree with YIYF. I was thinking the same thing when I saw that picture.

Yeah, they drew him way young in that shot. He should be about 30-35 in story continuity now.

What would that be in spider years?
