The Man In Black: Spidey

The 3rd sequel of Spiderman is out and promises to be another summer blockbuster as were the previous two. Or is it a prequel?

Something different has been added. Spidey in a black foreboding costume.

Nothing new. For serious Spidey comic book enthusiasts.

Thus, before you go see the movie, read about how this black costume came to be, from Marvel itself:

It all began during the battle dubbed Secret Wars, when Spider-Man found a machine he thought to be a fabric replicator. Reaching for the black sphere produced by the alien machine, Peter Parker's arm, then his entire body, became engulfed in black goo. The substance seemed to acknowledge Peter's thoughts and oozing over Spidey's body, fashioned itself into a new outfit for the Web-Slinger. Now sporting a black variation of his original costume, Spider-Man found that the suit not only augmented his abilities, it also possessed some powers of its own; the suit generated its own supply of webbing and could change appearances according to Spidey's thoughts.

Read the complete story for a much better perspective.

Proud to own this issue of Spidey in black tangling with Sin-eater:


Erratum:

A correction is in order here. Instead of this being the 3rd sequel, it should be the third in a series. Or still, maybe a prequel. Or following comic books, another issue. This may come in handy, considering the exceptional successes this latest one have garnered. Expect Series or Issue No. 4, 5, or 6. Same thing as they did with Star Wars, Star Trek, Rocky, and now, Rambo.

Whew!

Spiderman in black reminds us a lot about Batman being portrayed as the Dark Knight by Frank Miller.

Even Superman in the movies had that metamorphosis when his costume colors faded and his facial features became sullen.

Which movie was it?
