The Book of Silver Sable

It was at least LD intent.
Looks interesting to me. I see you went with Spider-Man instead of Peter Parker specifically though.

Yeah, I went with Spider-Man on the grounds that legacy Spider-Men felt more right to have as an option than a civilian Peter Parker or any weird version of Peter that isn't Spider-Man (like Poison).

I do feel like the Spider-Man bit is kind of shoehorned in - like, I've always felt like he teams up with Silver Sable just as a consequence of her showing up in Spider-Man comics more than any specific narrative connection - so it's not a choice I would make. But we've done worst callouts, so I defer to the LD/majority on it.

The Spidey shout-out is a little bit wedged in, I admit, but I think that's true to the character for the same reasons you're saying. Like she's got a pretty defined schtick, she works with a certain type of person... and also Spider-Man for some reason?

There isn't really a strong logic to it beyond her being a Spider-Man supporting character, but she is one. Pulling Spider-Man into weird team-ups and settings is her main narrative function. I think the Spidey connection needs to be there for a faithful adaptation of the character.
 
Cool I looked but didn't see it mentioned. I had not preference either way, just wanted to make sure it was fully considered before release. :)
