Hello reader.

I’ve been considering something for a while. It starts here. If you haven’t realized by now, I am a HUGE Spider-Man fan. Despite this, I’ve been using this blog primarily for thoughts and stories and the like that help me to understand the universe around me. I’ve even toyed with the idea of building a completely separate blog based on my love for the Web-Head. In the end, I’ve realized that, through Spider-Man and what he represents, I am better able to understand the universe around me.

The idea came to me about a week ago, while I was standing in an unbelievably noisy room with a whole bunch of people around me. In order to pull myself out of the hot, sweaty room and into happier thoughts, I went to one memory that still holds a special place in my heart.

This moment took place in The Superior Spider-Man issue 31. Peter Parker is FINALLY transported from the buried rubble off his subconscious back into the driver seat of his own body… spoilers. Never mind, it’s over a year old. If you haven’t read it, read it. I can’t do it justice.

Anyway. Peter is in his old costume and racing off to meet his old nemesis, The Green Goblin. Well, when he shows up to the fight, ol’ Greenie Meanie thinks it’s still Otto Octavius running the show behind Peter’s eyes. And he’s loving it, by the way. Norman Osborn is getting the biggest kick in the world out of knowing Otto’s biggest achievement when no one else figured it out. So he’s really laughing it up.

Until…

The quip. Norman is breaking everybody’s hearts going on and on about how Otto will have nothing left when the night is over, and Spidey comes right back and says: “Except the dignity of knowing I never carried a man-purse.”

Spidey is back in every way, and starts the battle in the way only he can. No pretenders here, sports fans. The Amazing Spider-Man is back! And this hits Norman like a slap in the face. I can still see his stunned face when I close my eyes.

I’ll tell you, reader. When I was stuck on that hard floor, drowning in deep, thumping base and humid bodies, I was laughing. Because, even though I was pretty uncomfortable physically, what with the overbearing crowd and probably almost going deaf, I was enjoying myself with the happy thought of my hero returning to the stunned face of an over-grown bully.

There you go. That’s why I made Web-Head’s Corner. It’s a section of my blog that I am primarily posting content about Spider-Man. Stories, my own fan-girl moments, new understandings, even just something along the lines of, “I’ve been enjoying thinking about this lately.”

It’s pretty simple, when I get down to it. I’m giving my hero a little corner of my home, my universe, because he helps me hold my universe together when I need him most. If you stop by, and if you enjoy what you find, I hope you can make this your corner, too.

Until next time, reader.
