That’s one badass-looking Spider-bug! Also, a great Doc Ock bug.
By the way, it looks like spider-man gets a free pass from your “not drawing any spiders” rule, doesn’t it? Of course, it makes sense, as he’s not an actual spider. (Also, superheroes get free pass from anything.)
Although you have to wonder how he got the spider powers if not from a spider bite. And if it was from a spider bite, how is he still alive? There are so many questions…
It has not been established (AFAIK) that the spiders in Bug’s world are the same size as the bugs. It may be that the bug to spider size ratio is the same as the human to spider size ratio in our world. So spiders might be quite small making their bites no more lethal that spider bites in our world (not including Australia).
I just can’t find it right now, but I distinctly remember that Adam once confirmed that he intentionally doesn’t draw spiders, insects or non-Bug bugs in the strip to avoid confusion.
Of course, that says nothing of what size they would be… but Adam also stated multiple times that Bugs are basically humans with antennae, so I assume spiders would be small compared to them if they were ever drawn.
If they made them into the movie, it would be done by Disney, seeing how all (Marvel/DC) superheroes are now Disney’s IP… and I’m not convinced they’d give Adam enough creative freedom, if any.
Let’s keep bug-heroes here where Adam can do whatever he wants with them :).
Wait Doc Ock, before you go, this Dramamine is making me really drowsy. Could you prescribe something else? Ugh I didn’t know it was an honorary doctorate… fine arts?!?! Jeez no wonder you’re robbing banks to pay student loans…
You know what I’ve been wondering about?
Spiderman shoots all those webs at his cities infrastructure. Shouldn’t sooner or later the whole city be covered in spider webs? Who cleans the city after Spiderman went along? Especially in those spots he uses to mount his webs?

Do I have to be the one to point out that maybe one of his parents is actually a spider?

Adam: “I actually avoid any insect or spider-related humor. These bugs are just people; spiders would just confuse things.”
Ditto Dristvaan. I love your superhero/comic book bugs.
I love how they all have antennae, unless they’re bald. Bug Superheros should be made into a movie…

Maybe get Pixar in on it and then THEY can convince the Disney MBAs to do it?
maybe it is time to draw some antman
