  1. Spider-Man Battle for New York with Jarett Tyree (Has to Do With Spider-Man, I Think)

    Welcome, web-slinging console warriors and handheld hop-scotchers! Prepare your cartridges and grab your controllers, because this week on Play Comics we’re diving into the gloriously chaotic streets of New York with Spider-Man: Battle for New York, the 2005/2006 portable powerhouse that took Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man universe and somehow crammed all of Manhattan’s mayhem into a GBA and DS-sized punch-up bonanza. Because apparently, someone looked at one of the most beloved comic runs of the 2000s and thought, “You know what this needs? A brawler where Spidey spends most of his time frantically hammering the same three buttons while dodging increasingly ridiculous villain attacks.”

    Released across Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, this wasn’t your typical web-slinging adventure—it was more like someone distilled all of Ultimate Spider-Man’s most explosive moments into a side-scrolling arcade experience where the city itself becomes just as much of an enemy as Green Goblin ever was. With a roster of villains pulled straight from the comics and more “beat stuff up” objectives than you can shake a web at, this game proved that sometimes the best way to honor a beloved comic series is to completely reinvent what it means to be Spider-Man.

    This week, we’re absolutely thrilled to welcome the phenomenally knowledgeable Jarrett Tyree from Has To Do With Spider-Man I Think, who brings an encyclopedic understanding of all things Arachnid and animated to help us untangle whether this game managed to capture the kinetic energy of Bendis’s run or if it just left our webbing all tangled in the wrong places. Jarrett’s the kind of Spider-expert who can probably explain exactly why this game makes the choices it does, while also gently reminding us that sometimes video game adaptations are more “inspired by” than “faithful to” the source material.

    So strap in your web-shooters, prepare for some serious button-mashing mayhem, and get ready for an episode that explores whether this dual-platform adaptation is a hidden gem of portable gaming or just another case of “well, we had to do SOMETHING with this license.” Let’s see if Battle for New York is worth defending!

    Learn such things as:

    • How connected to the actual comic storylines is this game, or does it just borrow character names and call it a day?
    • Does an action-packed comic run actually translate better into a side-scrolling brawler than into an open-world adventure?
    • Why do handheld games keep trying to squeeze console-sized epicness into screen sizes that make text completely illegible?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Jarett as part of Has to do With Spider-Man, I think on BlueSky @smitpod and of course the Has to do With Spider-Man, I Think website.

  2. Spider-Man (2002) with Chris Ferrell (All Things Good and Nerdy, The Official GonnaGeek Show)

    Welcome back, web-slingers and button-mashers, to another delightfully unhinged episode of Play Comics! This week we’re crawling back to 2002, when flip phones were cutting-edge technology, everyone was still trying to figure out what the heck a “blog” was, and Activision decided the best way to capitalize on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movie was to let Treyarch loose with a development kit and what we can only assume were several energy drinks and a prayer.

    We’re diving deep into the pixelated web-slinging wonderland that somehow convinced an entire generation that swinging through New York City while your webs mysteriously attach to invisible sky anchors was totally normal. This PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance spectacular managed to squeeze Tobey Maguire’s voice into a polygonal suit while adding enough extra villains to make you wonder if someone at Treyarch had been hoarding Spider-Man action figures since childhood and finally found an excuse to use them all.

    Joining us for this nostalgic journey through early 2000s gaming jank is the magnificent Chris Ferrell from All Things Good and Nerdy and The Official GonnaGeek Show! Chris brings his encyclopedic knowledge of all things delightfully nerdy to help us navigate the treacherous terrain between movie adaptation and comic book faithfulness. He’s the perfect guide for exploring whether this game captured the essence of everyone’s favorite wall-crawler or just gave us a really expensive tech demo for air-based web physics that would make actual physics professors weep quietly into their coffee.

    So dust off those sixth-generation consoles, prepare for some seriously chunky character models, and join us as we swing into action with a game that dared to ask the important question: “What if we took a two-hour movie and stretched it into twelve hours of gameplay by adding every Spider-villain we could think of?” The answer, as you’ll discover, involves more air combat than anyone expected and enough stealth sequences to make you appreciate that this was made before every game decided it needed a mandatory stealth section.

    Get ready for web-slinging, wall-crawling, and more mid-air punching than should be physically possible – it’s time to find out if this early millennium marvel holds up or if it belongs in the same category as those websites that still think animated GIFs are the height of digital sophistication.

    Learn such things as:

    • How do you decide who to use as a boss in a movie tie in game?
    • Will we ever have a bad Spider-Man game ever again?
    • What if…..Chris had latched onto The Flash instead of Spidey?
    • And so much more!

  3. Some tiny paintings that fit the purple n green palette I had leftover from Skeletor. I am deficit of attention and need to have a couple paintings going while I wait for different ones to dry 😺

    ## Materials:
    - Craft Smart paint from Michaels (it was buy 12 neon paints get 16 acrylics free LMAO ended up being $12)
    - 3x3 inch large wood circles from the dollar store
    - tiny paintbrush set, Holotap brand.

    Happened to be watching Pokemon Journeys and got inspired... That season got some sad ghost stuff man. Good halloween episodes with abandoned Banette, as well hat-stealing Mankeys.

  4. Today's painting progress is a layer of black to clarify edges and details. And give him a tabby stripe. Tomorrow, a layer of orange and a bukkake of glow in the dark glaze to see if that even works.

  5. First update to DA DAFOE ZONE for 2024 🥳

    1. There's a new section for the Dafoe and Norman Osborn art I did in 2023:
    dafoe.scumsuck.com/gallery/202

    While the art may not all appear Dafoe-esque, rest assured he's there in spirit making me draw goblins.

    2. The gallery page is now splintered off into sections (2021, 2022, 2023, older art, nsfw). This is so there's less images on each page and loading is easier.

  6. It really is a shame that Warren Ellis turned out to be an ultracreep, because he wrote some fantastic stuff. (amazing art by Mike Deodato)

  7. I think one thing I enjoy the most about the trailer for #Echo is that they’re a TON of punching violence.

    Most action movies and shows have grappling or wrestling or shootings or explosions but most don’t have lengthy beatdowns or punching sequences.

    Those sequences of #Spiderman punching the #GreenGoblin in #SpidermanNoWayHome were fantastic, for example.

  8. Yujiro's favorite smell is manly men. Norman's greatest need is to be desired by macho guys.

    There is something about evil deadbeat dads with ink textured red hair, dead wives, and a goblin/ogresona. They are gay. They/them gay dads.

  9. In the main #Marve Universe (aka #Earth616), #GwenStacy was the first love of #PeterParker. Her death was a defining moment that changed his life as #SpiderMan forever.

    But what if things had been different? What if it was #PeterParker who died saving Gwen Stacy from the #GreenGoblin? What if Gwen Stacy adopted her boyfriend’s identity to avenge his death as #SpiderGwen?

    #WhatIf?

  10. Ci lascia anche #RomitaSr. Chiamato dalla stampa "#padre dell'#UomoRagno", in realtà è stato il rottamatore della gestione #Ditko (reale padre), cancellandone tutti gli stilemi e introducendo nuove idee come #MaryJaneWatson e il #GreenGoblin come nemesi
