I feel that this had an okay build up but there were a few missed opportunities in explaining the back story of the Gwen revival, but I understand it is rushed due to the limited page number. The ending was interesting and left me on the edge of my seat. Hopefully we can get a continuation of this title!

2015-08-07 17:11:23 +0000 UTCThanks for the comprehensive feedback. There will probably be some more nods to other titles now and then (which also happened on SCARLET SPIDERS, INHERITORS, PRISON BITCH and also on the Edge of Spidercest MILES and ULTIMATES) but I'm not very inclined to do a massively complex mosaic of a spider pornverse continuity. I'm more interested on keeping these stories as standalone issues, that may be kinda "spiritually linked" to others, but not necessarily "tied". On your other topic, it really wonders me how Marvel never went for an alternate timeline where Peter and the Symbiote merged on a consensual relationship. But my best guess is that the lack of conflict between them (which is the basic structure for a good narrative) would make both poorer characters for a good story. With that being said, the new Flash Thompson Venom is currently doing pretty well embracing our most loved symbiote on the Guardians of the Galaxy series. They even managed to cure the disturbed mental issues of the alien recently. I wonder what would that mean once it came back to Earth and meet Peter again. (except that with the new Secret Wars reboot, continuity apparently won't mean a thing anymore).

2015-08-06 12:36:43 +0000 UTCIt's funny, but based on some of my earlier commentary regarding Spidernafil, this almost feels a little like some of what I asked for in regards to the symbiote and Peter... with a much darker cast to it, of course. It also felt like maybe the first time that there might have been a nod towards continuity between porn titles that don't share a similar name? There has been a lot of occasions now where the symbiote has posessed people in order to have sex with Spidey (others too, but that's not this focus), and you gotta wonder if Peter has, in fact, just gotten used to it as he says. The difference here, of course, is that for the first time there appears to be a point beyond the sex itself (although we'll see if that goes anywhere narratively) in the meshing of Gwen and Venom. But to get back to the point I started with, now we actually have a Peter that hints that he might have been having intimate relations with the symbiote before the events that led him to get it off (badumtish), and that just makes me all the more want a story where Peter wasn't squicked out, and found a way to live with and love the Symbiote (along with all those Spider Ladies). Has such a story ever even been in established alter-verse canon? You'd think there'd be at least one example, what with the Spider-verse. Cheester's art as always is well suited for the tone. I don't enjoy the porn as much as I do others (my personal proclivities and all) but I have to say, once the grotesque Venom head was out of the way, and we started seeing Gwen's pleased face, I was much more into it. So sad it was almost over by then. Now I have to ask though... between this and some of the things that were poked fun at by Deadpool... *is* there a Tracy-verse timeline in the works? Are these alternate porniverses actually connected in one larger metaverse? Cause I gotta say... given the level of writing, it feels almost a waste not to do something larger with it.

2015-08-06 11:03:52 +0000 UTCThis one was one of rare co-writer projects, when a patron pledges a very generous amount to have a very deep input on the story. The point here was to have Gwen resurrected and completely drunk with alien pheromones from the symbiote and enacting some revenge sex with Spidey. I agree there were many other paths available for this narrative, but there was one thing I really liked having here, which was the dicotomy of anger/passion that both Gwen and the Alien shared towards Peter.

2015-08-06 01:03:30 +0000 UTCThis one was alright. But I kind of wanted a little more. I thought there would be a little more build up. Or at least a little more of Gwen dominating Peter. I thought she'd also be mad at him to for everything that had happened and would have "Punished" him for it as well.
