Clearly, Marvel is banking on this crossover to reinvigorate interest in all three titles, with Spider-Gwen and Silk being the big selling points. Although that’s slightly better than where it was with issue #10 last August (#104 with 23,005 copies), it’s not a big sales spike by any means. However, it’s Spider-Woman which took one of the biggest hits, as it’s currently #97 on the charts and hovering just below 28,000 copies. Although Secret Wars was a huge success for Marvel, the decision to cancel then restart all their titles under the “All-New, All-Different” banner has really hurt the momentum of newer books like Spider-Gwen and Silk, as they’re now selling around or below what they were prior to their relaunch. And based on last month’s sales estimates, this crossover couldn’t have come at a better time.

After all, having one of the owners of a company also being the leader of an international terrorist organization would be very bad for business.Ĭommentary: So based on the descriptions in the solicits, Spider-Women looks as though it’s “Spider-Verse 2.0” only on a smaller, much more focused scale. Which could mean Peter finds out about this and will thus face a huge PR nightmare.

Speaking of Scorpio, I imagine his compromising of Parker Industries alludes to the revelation from Amazing Spider-Man #5 that he’s the chief shareholder in the company. Perhaps this the basis for premise behind “The 13th sign of the Zodiac.” Or perhaps, based on the cover for Amazing Spider-Man #11, Spider-Man somehow gets a hold of Scorpio’s Zodiac Key.
