Morlun
« on: August 01, 2007, 05:24:33 AM »
Okay, I'm kind of confused about something. In The Darkest Hour, Spidey says that he killed Morlun by injecting himself with radioactive material and letting Morlun drain him and then Morlun's guy shot him in the chest when he was weakened, but I read on Wikipedia that it happened differently in the comic. I read that Morlun ripped Spidey's eye out and when he was in the hospital, Morlun went after Mary Jane and Peter got pissed so he mutated into a giant spider and killed Morlun and then died himself only to be born from a cocoon.

So then which is true? I thought they were both Amazing Spider-man.

Well, I'd have to say that 'true' is definitely a malleable concept in the comic world. ;)  Personally I find Jim's explanation more plausible by far.  Heck, maybe he changed it because the whole 'mutate-into-giant-spider' thing just doesn't seem to work well.

Well... either Wikipedia's been having some fun with you... or you're having some fun with us :)
You want to read the TPB Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home By JM Straczynski 
It covers the Morlun issues, and is a darn good Trade Paperback as well.

Maybe he didn't kill Morlun in the Wikipedia entry I read based on Morlun.

Morlun came back. The part with him ripping out Peter's eye and chasing him to the hospital is set after Jim's novel, during "The Other" storyline. Think of Morlun's first "death" as a comic book death.

Ah, thanks, King. You know, I should expand my Spider-man reading to Amazing, but it's so hard to catch up. I'm way back in the Lee/Ditko days. Although, I have been reading the Ultimate Spider-man comics.
