“Grey Spider”

Marvel Comics iconic superhero Spiderman turns 50 this week.  Spiderman hasn’t changed much since turning 50, except he’s adding insulation to his costume so he doesn’t catch a chill.

At 50, he’s still out fighting crime every night, but he’s started turning in by 10:30.

Also, the eye-lets in his mask are now bifocals.

When Peter Parker hides his street clothes to go fight bad guys as Spiderman, he can no longer always remember where he put them.

When the Green Goblin starts throws bombs and grenades at him,  50-year-old Spidey’s biggest complaint now is that all that racket is giving him a headache.

“Black and Brown Spider”

In a new Spiderman title from Marvel Comics, the new Spiderman is black and Hispanic.  And you thought Spidey was hassled by the cops before!

Spiderman’s new arch-enemy?  K.K.Kraven.

Any villains fighting Spiderman can now also be charged with committing a hate crime.

This also means he has to swing on webs through New York City.  Because he can’t get a cab.

“Comic Take”

In a new comic book that hit stores Tuesday, Spider-Man actually dies.  It's just another case of art imitating Broadway.
