Tighty-Spidey Tuesdays

Continuing from a previous post...

It's really strange, I know, but seeing Peter Parker in those little white briefs brings me back to when I was a kid reading Spider-Man. I loved Spidey in the 80's, I was right there for Kraven's Last Hunt, and the Mad Dog Ward. I saw the rise and fall of the Hobgoblin, caught the tail end of the symbiote arc, and punched out right before Venom made the scene.

I was all-in as Spidey had fun adventures, frightening and weird adventures, and heartbreaking ones as well, but nothing brings that nostalgic feeling back more than seeing Peter Parker in his underwear! Maybe it's that, despite the fact that Pete can lift a bus over his head, move so fast he can't be hit, is super-smart and can crawl on walls, he's still a dude like me and you. He's still got to put on his underwear in the morning.

There comes a time in every man's life when he's got to choose whether he's a boxers or briefs guy, and it seems to me that Spider-Man has made his choice.

And so, it is here that I begin Write Club's newest feature, Tighty-Spidey Tuesdays! A series dedicated to exploring a certain superhero and his choice of underwear.

And yes...I am fully aware of how creepy this is.

I see London, I see France

So, Marvel's been releasing bits and pieces of of art for the new Spider-Man storyline One Moment in Time, which seems like it'll bring the whole Brand New Day Storyline to a conclusion. Maybe? I don't know.

What I do know, in looking at the art that's been trickling out, is how much I've missed seeing Peter Parker in his tighty-whiteys!

I'm serious, growing up and reading Spider-Man in the 80's, it was almost a staple that you'd get a few panels of Pete walking along a wall in his apartment in his underwear.

I'll have to see if I can dig up some more images. Spidey-Whiteys could be a new meme!
