[Image ID: A two-panel comic of a woman with graying hair, facing away from the viewer talking to Spiderman-2099 (aka. Miguel O'Hara) from Across The SpiderVerse. They are standing on the rooftops of New York's many industrial buildings.
Comic panel one shows Miguel covered in the purple-and-black checkered placeholder texture from Javascript.
The woman asks him "Why do you look like that?" to which he replies "Excuse me?" in a bemused tone. She says
"I don't think your suit is working. Got something more.. 'graphics-friendly'?", pointing at his malfunctioning suit.
He proceeds to ask his holographic agent LYLA:
"For shock's sake- Lyla, do you have any period-appropriate renders?" to which she replies "Hm... I may have a few!"
Comic panel two is a GIF format, showing Lyla snapping her fingers, changing Miguel's outfit with a bright orange flash of light, showing different versions of him in Roblox, Poptropica, Minecraft, an emo from 2000s MySpace, and his old 1992 suit in a backward-compatible design that the grey-haired woman could see. She is frowning, unamused with how she can only see him in the styles of old internet games and subcultures. /.End ID]
Join the official SPG discord they said, there’s 2000 people so it’s not likely a band member will respond to you they said. What do you call this then?
THREE TIMES this has happened now. On one hand, the horrifying ordeal of being known, on the other hand it helps to solidify that they are real people that exist in the same, real, world as I do. And it provides some cool insight and answers questions I sometimes didn’t know I had (not the third one though lol)
idk if it's just me but I really dislike how Miguel is portrayed as cold and bitter in medias other than comicbooks when the entire point of his run and his story is him learning that he's allowed to feel for himself and to think for himself and to love the people he loves and to grieve and to hate. His whole run is about him becoming more human through the experience of him becoming genetically *less* human. It's about him opening up, being vulnerable, and learning empathy - something frowned upon in the hypercapitalist world he lives in.
These two pieces were just posted as pieces of Dev’s Red, Black, and White collection. Dev explains how these two weren’t used in the final collection mostly due to compositional issues. The concepts were reworked and finalized to bring two new phenomenal pieces to us!
Hi, I got carried away :D This white suit is based on Kris Anka’s design. I took liberty on the details. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go do a master study on some guy named Caravaggio.
