What does everyone think will happen. Will Peter REALLY reveal his I.D. to the world, or will he chicken out at the last minute. This is what I put at another board.
I really don't think he will do it. He's gone through too many hoops to keep his I.D. a secret. Remember Spider-Man has A LOT of enemies... more than most other super heroes. Now that's he's an Avenger, he has even more. I know the Avengers can help him, but the New Avengers as we know them no longer exist.
At any rate, I really don't think he'll do it. Once he does, there is no turning back. If Tony Stark and the heroes that agree with him win the "Civil War" I think Peter would because he has no choice.... but he still has a choice right now.
I think he's going to change his mind at the last minute. Which will make me happy. I don't like watching Peter do everything Tony asks and being his little assistant or whatever. I don't think Peter needs Tony to get by and I DEFINITELY don't think Spider-Man needs Iron Man.

If he DOES... it'll be a really stupid move, even for Marvel. But given how disastrous Marvel's been in the past few years, I wouldn't put it past them...

I agree Gray, I hope he doesn't, but I'm worried he will.

Oh, he will.
And then, by the end of Civil War pick your ludicrous plot device that will erase his ID from the minds of the public, and probably MJ finishing the marriage.
Civil War is as much a story as House of M. That is, not much at all. Mark my words.

Dunno, Hec. Millar can actually plot, which means CW will almost certainly be better than HoM.

I heard some major spoilers from the latest issue of Thunderbolts
Peter reveals his identity to the world. This is pretty stupid revealling an ending to the second issue of CW a full week or so before it comes out.

I heard something about this. Sounds incredibly stupid, SPS. And not just because of the giveaway of CW spoilers, though that's bad enough.
Marvel has no idea who Spider-Man is supposed to be. But then, that's been evident from the number of awful moves they've made with him. The totem retcon and Sins Past were bad enough. But if this doesn't get reversed, it's a serious blow to the character.
Spidey is one of those characters you can't unmask without breaking him. He's supposed to represent the average person. If the world knows who he really is... that defeats the entire purpose. Not to mention that I really can't see Spidey putting the people around him at risk by exposing his identity, especially after the stuff he's had to deal with.
This is a dreadful idea. And if Quesada has his way with the marriage, Spidey will just be even further damaged. I can only hope this gets reversed before long, but I'm not long on the optimism with Quesada these days.

And if Quesada has his way with the marriage, Spidey will just be even further damaged. I can only hope this gets reversed before long, but I'm not long on the optimism with Quesada these days. I stand by what I said. He will reveal his identity and by the end of Civil War the same plot device used to erase the knowledge from every one will also undo the marriage one way or another. If not, I won't make fun of Pete for two whole weeks. Hell, make it a month. |

'Barely coherent' STILL puts him a long way ahead of Bendis as a plotter, Hec ;D

LOL! Good point, but still... ;D
I think Millar is usually a pretty solid plotter. Not sure if he can pull off something THIS hard, but time will tell...

I think he's...serviceable. Adequate. Nowhere near the levels of James Robinson, Neil Gaiman or Moore which are bar none the best at that. I don't think he's even on Johns' levels.
But he ain't no Bendis. He's at least fun.

I'd say Morrison was the best plotter currently active, but yeah. I think we're pretty much in agreement here, Hec.

 I'd say that in a scale of one to ten in the 'F--k Spidey' stories this rate a solid 9.5. Just below resurrecting Uncle Ben. EDIT: what about now? |

I can see it just fine, Hec. And yeah, this is a disaster, all right...

Unbelievable. Peter, MJ, and May would NEVER EVER EVER EVER go for this. That whole speech they gave in ASM 532 was complete and total BULL[Censored] This [Censored]ing pisses me off so god damn much. I swear to God, Joe Q is the biggest [Censored]ing idiot. Stan Lee probably throws up every time he hears about any new Marvel decision.
I am one VERY unhappy fan to say the least.
You can bet your ass MJ is next.
