Released in 2006, Spider-Man: Reign was Marvel’s attempt to revitalize Spider-Man in the same way Frank Miller brought Batman back in the ’80′s with The Dark Knight Returns. You could see Kaare Andrews liberally put all sorts of homages to TDKR in Reign, even changing his art style to emulate Miller’s. I have the TPB in my home, and I haven’t touched it in nearly 3 years. I loved Reign when it first came out, but then, I was of the “reject everything silly and Silver Age-y about comics it’s all serious dark gritty adult shit from now on” mindset.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog inactivity for some THWIP-tastic news! Our friends at Vivid Entertainment released yet another one of their Porn Parodies, this time it’s your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Directed by Axel Braun, the guy that made Batman XXX possible and hilariously accurate. And if you’re part of the majority of our target demographic, you should be aware of their series of Superhero Porn parodies as well.

Starring Capri Anderson as Mary Jane Watson, Ash Hollywood as Gwen Stacey, Brooklyn Lee as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Sarah Shevon as Betty Brant. I ain’t listing the male cast because fuck you I don’t wanna! It’s weird that they decided to include Black Widow but not Black Cat. Heck, add Carlie Cooper in the sequel just so we can mock Joe Quesada! Do it, Vivid friends! Do it!

Rob Black gets a special mention because he plays J. Jonah Jameson. J. JONAH JAMESON! In a porn parody! That is both hilarious and awful at the same time! This is a funny change of pace compared to reading people getting butthurt over Marvel’s decision to make the new Ultimate Spider-Man Black/Latino don’t you think?

PS. Just to scar you for life: Aunt May is in it. You are now having a mental image of her in a Spider-Man porn parody film. Manually. brb, laughing forever.

… is using his great power responsibly.

Mark Millar said in an interview that he would write Ultimate Blade having a dream sequence where he’d kill Edward(or Edgar) Cullen from Twilight.

This is that dream sequence. From the first three pages of Ultimate Avengers #16. Enjoy.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT. IS. THIS.

Okay, to be fair, the redesign for Spider-Man isn’t that bad. I don’t understand the green though. Red highlights would have been cooler. What do you think?
