Well, its a better name than Inker...

BWHA-HA-HA-HA! That Kevin Smith cracks me up.

A reminder to me of the fact that I'm psyched to see Ringo back on the character.

Tracer? I 'ardly KNOW 'er!

Posted by: Julio Diaz at June 8, 2005 09:29 AM

He even looks a little like Jason Lee, doesn't he? Excellent!

Any relation to the Tracer introduced in the Marvel Annual event of 1993?

Tracer looks too cool to be a bad guy! He reminds me of Vash the Stampede from Trigun. Hey, Peter, maybe you ought to give him a change of heart sometime. Turning villains into heroes always makes for a good story.

kewl. I hope Weiringo has more stuff for viewing at Heroes Con in Charlotte!!

Posted by: Hooper at June 8, 2005 01:00 PM

Doggone! Sean typed out what was my first reaction before I could! Oh, well. Why is this villian smiling? Probably because he's glad he chose not to use 'hollowhead' bullets as his signature!

If you replaced the guns with a spatula and tongs, it looks like he's ready for a damn fine bbq. Sorry, its the apron and goggles.

Posted by: CCR at June 8, 2005 01:54 PM

How tough could he be? He's not even inked?

har har, Jar Jar

Posted by: Thomas E. Reed at June 8, 2005 02:06 PM

Okay, place your bets, madames et messeurs. How many pages after he's introduced that Spidey makes a comment about Tracer's "dress"?

And how many will bet that the guy will end up hanging by his feet, possibly through webbing, and that skirt drapes down over his face? (We pay double if Spidey comments, "I see London, I see France...")

Posted by: WarrenSJonesIII at June 8, 2005 03:07 PM

Peter I am very excited to see where you are going to take this villian in the series.

Posted by: Steve Chung at June 8, 2005 03:23 PM

V-I-L-L-A-I-N, isn't it? :)

Posted by: James Gilmer at June 8, 2005 04:00 PM

There was a brief moment before I scrolled down when I thought you were having a laugh and saying that this was Spidey's "redesign".

Posted by: TCJohnson at June 8, 2005 04:43 PM

Just looks like a lot of fun.

You wear goggles while using a BBQ? =)

Posted by: MisterBixby at June 8, 2005 09:13 PM

From the waist up, pretty cool. I like the secret agent/covert miltary op kind of look (well, maybe except for the Impulse hair). From the waist down, though... what's with the loin cloth? And why so long? What could he be hiding?


... what?

"I'm Syndrome! Your nemesis and - oops."

Posted by: JonWes at June 8, 2005 09:46 PM

Peter has me actually reading a Hulk title and now I'm actually going to have to read a Spider-man title too? I better start making more money.

Ya certainly do if yer usin' enough of da sauce. :)

Posted by: Jason A at June 8, 2005 10:43 PM

Cool.

Based on cover I was afraid we'd see Doc Ock and Norman Osborn, which I wouldn't have liked since I feel they're both horribly overused.

I'm still not sure if I'm gonna pick up the book though it has nothing to do with PAD (him I trust) but I'm gonna wait and see how badly 'House of M' will mess up the character before getting into this comic, or any Spidey book for that matter.

Did NONE of you guys see "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?"

PAD

Posted by: wolvy at June 9, 2005 12:12 AM

Aww so he's your tribute or Homage to Mad Max. It wouldv been cooler if you made a villain that looked like Tina Turners character, or one that was like that Dwarf and the big guy. I'm only joking ofcourse. The guy looks cool.

Posted by: Jerome Maida at June 9, 2005 12:43 AM

Looks pretty cool, PAD.

Posted by: R. Maheras at June 9, 2005 01:28 AM

Looks fine to me!

Posted by: gvalley at June 9, 2005 03:58 AM

huh. He looks like he's having a really good time there. And he's got bracelets and shoulder-pads. I bet he listens to 'Scatman John'.

: )

Posted by: Alan Wilkinson at June 9, 2005 07:15 AM

Lucky for Tracer he's not a DC character. Otherwise: Batman. locked room. Five minutes.

"And how many will bet that the guy will end up hanging by his feet, possibly through webbing, and that skirt drapes down over his face? (We pay double if Spidey comments, "I see London, I see France...")"

Spidey (actually looking) "uh.. never mind."

"V-I-L-L-A-I-N, isn't it? :)"

Will-Haine...it's french.


Looks a bit like a grown up Spy Boy, actually.

Posted by: Paul S. at June 9, 2005 07:59 PM

Looks very cool. Has a Yasuhiro Nightow (see: Trigun, Gungrave, etc) type look to it. I can't help but wonder what he keeps in all of those pouches.

Any chance some of the newer characters to pop up in the Marvel Universe like The Runways, New Avengers, Arana, etc. might make a guest apperance in the book.

Posted by: Scott Iskow at June 9, 2005 09:39 PM

So who does his voice?

Posted by: David Andersson at June 9, 2005 10:41 PM

Is that Paladin in a new get-up&code-name? I remember Peter writing him before way back...

Posted by: dave w. at June 9, 2005 11:28 PM

Several people beat me to my comments, But I just got home from work. I just want to say that when I first saw it I thought mad max or spy boy. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Calling my LCS tomorrow to reserve my copy.

Spidey is an Avenger now so I'd expect some guest appearances from them, hopefully not too much though!

And why'd House of M mess Spidey? I haven't read a single issue yet.

No, he looks just like Spyguy.

Spare clips, at a guess.
