Their is a whole article on just the Spider-Man (games), even if you select the "main ones" (what ever that means) and group the Spider-Man 2 ones together it will still be three times longer than the TV series. - User:UnlimitedAccess

But I didn't add all those titles to the template! I only put the main article's internal link..u thought that i was going to add'em later or something ??--Amr Hassan 02:02, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes I did in fact! I thought you were going to put them all in!!! Or die trying :P - UnlimitedAccess

[edit] Comics

Also as a secondary note, I think its for similar reasons hard to include a Comic Series section. Well firstly what were you trying to accomplish with that section.

As you would be well aware it would be impossibly long to include in that little box a complete list of Spider-Man comics, so we need a criteria to what should and shouldnt be in the template, and as it stands it just seems like an arbitary incomplete list of Spider-Man titles.

I see their is three routes you could take;

[edit] 1 - Only include the current titles

This is one possible way, but would have to be continually maintained, however is not very useful as an Encylopedia to search for old titles. I wouldnt recommend this way.

[edit] 2 - Contain a list of all the different Spider-Man continuinty(s)

This is another route you could take, and does seem very useful and would not be VERY NPOV. It is almost what you have currently as well. This way you could include, the Regular Marvel Universe Spider-Man, the Marvel 2099 one, the Ultimate Marvel one, Spider-Man: India, and the Japanese Spider-Man Manga one and possibly the 1990's Animated Series comic book continunity ones. However if you were going down that route you would have to remove the Marvel Knights Spider-Man and Spider-Man's Tangled Web because they are all in regular Marvel Universe continunity.

[edit] 3 - Only include the core Spider-Man titles that maintain continuinty

This is probably the most useful way, because the most importantant ones that all pushed the narratiive forward and list none of the obscure ones. This is possibly manageable..

I would argue over the years the core titles have been;

• Amazing Spider-Man
• Web of Spider-Man
• Spider-Man (Peter Parker: Spider-Man)
• Spectacular Spider-Man
• Sensational Spider-Man
• Spider-Man Unlimited
• Marvel Knights Spider-Man

Then of course you could list the ulternate universe ones, but its already bloated.

• Spider-Fan is a good resource if you want to get more information on the Spider-Man titles. - User:UnlimitedAccess.
  • Okay, i've decided to go with the core titles, sorry i didn't know that they were so diverse in the first place.. check it out now.. just one more thing.. Spider-Man Unlimited, wasn't that an animated series?? btw. i may not post a reply again for a while because i'm going back to school today and my wikionline time will be dramatically reduced, so feel free to modify the lists just as long as you summary what you're doing on the talk page so no one else would blindly change it back. --Amr Hassan 02:29, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

No worries! Thanks for being open to suggestions! No Spider-Man Unlimited was also a comic book that ran through regular continuinty. It has three volumes but not many issues, it got cancelled quickly but was one of the core titles for about 2 years. - UnlimitedAccess

Spider-man Unlimited has come back as a bimonthly (sextannual?) title; I believe issue #11 just came out. Should I add it? I don't have RL time to create a separate page for it right now and I don't know whether you guys want the template to contain only links.

• • Shouldn't Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man be on this list sense its one of the current Spider-man titles and it includes important stories towards the "The Other" story arc.-Giant89 21:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Propose new version

I find the current one leaves a few topics out, and I don't like how "video games" is squished down at the bottom, and how the movies are sort of floating in the middle. Also I think it's more useful to have the current titles (+AmFan), but that can be easily changed. So I started tweaking it and this is what I came up with:
// moved to Template:Spider-Man/temp // -HKMARKS 01:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

This is used in quite a few pages so I wasn't sure about just changing it. Let me know --HKMARKS 19:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

You chould probably copy this over to the talk on WP:COMICS to get a consensus. :) --Jamdav86 20:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I also think it's about time this template is updated, i've created a temp subpage Template:Spider-Man/temp from the current version for temporary editing.. let's see what can be done :D.. --PASSIVE (Talk|E-Mail) 01:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

cool. I don't really like the "pure" red and dark blue -- it's kind of hard on the eyes. I did change the pale blue currently used to a more... um... "manly" light blue, though (for #1). And shrunk the words a little (proportionally, of course) -HKMARKS 01:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I put up the new version -HKMARKS 04:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Amazing Spider-Man: The Series

someone added The Amazing Spider-Man: The Series article, the article didn't put any sources and i couldn't find anything about it on the web, so is this even a real show. Or is it just some vanadls.147.31.184.207 17:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
