When it was announced that Marvel was going to be putting out more OGN's I was sold, I'd be happy to read a Waid/Robinson team-up on a Spidey story.

A long lost sister...who'll be in a costume within a year.

The return of original, in-continuity OGNs is nice.

Waid's got his work cut out for himself if he is really trying to shoehorn a sister in Peter's life. But I will to pick up this OGN to see if it is really his sister or just someone trying to fool Peter. Either way if Waid is writting it, it's a good chance that I'll like the story.

Ughhhh. Like the talent but hate the Court of Owls feel. A newly introduced character unknown til now that will be a major player. Peter' s parents are relatively under used but this just sounds bad. Peter always had bad luck now he just has bad editorial direction. Otto and now a big sister? I am for change but this is not evolution, it is kitchen sink stuff.

Maybe his half-sister? Perhaps Norman Osborne had an affair with Peter's mother. :D

You're right, Mark Waid, no story in any format or medium should change the inherent nature of superheroes as we have come to know them through the decades.

But, please, tell me more about Peter Parker's sister. 8-|

I was thinking the same thing, but were those in continuity?

DoctorDoom

Nope.

"Screw great responsibility... I've got a sister!"

How the heck does (maybe) having a sister change the "inherent nature" of Spider-Man?

Mr_Cosmic

It takes place before #700. So where is the sister now? Why haven't we seen her try to contact "Spiderpus?" Does she die in the OGN? Hmmm..might have to buy it now.

Chuck_Melville

Maybe she was a clone.
