Theres so much wrong here it's hard to pick a place to start.. Firstly, every car rental place I've ever been to in NYC has had a cheery, smiling YOUNG person behind the counter; the only time you'll ever see an older guy behind the desk is if you travel to Pigs Knuckles, Idaho and it's usually not a rental chain, it's a smaller family-run thing.. stan is drawing on his old traveling salesman experiences from 1977 to write this.. Secondly, Scott Lang has dark RED hair in the comics. I wonder if Stan's rapidly encroaching Alzheimer's has caused him to mistake Hank Pym (who does have blonde hair in the comics) for Scott. Thirdly, hello, Über? No room for a smartphone in Lang's helmet? Pete probably left his phone at home too. Fourthly, they've never met before this, the first thing they did was trade punches with each other, the only other thing they did was terrorize some poor guy in his bedroom, and now they're "old buddies?!" Fifth: Why are they so drat happy *just* to rent a car? Yeah I want to get in the car with a totes stranger driving! Sixth: Couldv'e gotten more laughs if Lang grew full size while still on Pete's shoulder. In my mind, I can only make this make sense is if Johnny Storm has hypnotized Pete into thinking he's Ant Man and is about to perpetrate some huge prank him. drat Egghead for living in an area that mass transit doesn't serve!

I can't believe that superheroes needs to pay for rental cars, isn't there an Avenger fund for that kind of expenses?

And when Newspaper SpiderMan visited the Newspaper Avengers, Newspaper Captain America and Newspaper Iron Man took turns beating the crap out of him just to see if it was really him. "Nope, nobody else would keep making wisecracks after major head trauma, so it must be Spider-man"

Also he left his wallet at home? Why would you do that Pete you incompetent? Also what about you metro pass?

That's still less of a dick move than the actual comic Avengers telling Spider-man he has to capture the hulk as his initiation test (note: there has never been an avengers initiation test before or after this issue).

Spider-speed? Does Peter have the power of a camel spider too? Those aren't spiders!bunnyofdoom posted:Wait, hang the gently caress on, it's an hour to dawn? Did they rent the loving car at 1am? From the way Lang talks, the house must be almost 12 hours drive away if they rented that car in the evening. The MSJ fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Sep 26, 2016 |

I am seriously, 100% genuinely shocked we didn't get at least a week of strips of Peter and Scott driving to the place.

Newspaper Spider-Man is an actual un-ironic Silver Age comic being published in 2016. It's amazing.

I'm no photomatizer, but that seems like a terrible place to set up a camera to take hot shots of Spider-Man, unless there's going to be a bunch of roof-crawling action.

Keep in mind there are a lot of people in NYC who think of literally everything north of the Bronx as "upstate". This could up past Albany, or it could be a half hour's drive in the middle of Westchester.

bunnyofdoom posted:But they're expecting to find him there? And fight him? Old ant man is missing so they're trying to find him. They're following the only guess they have, that is Elias, Pym's old nemesis, just got out of jail and is apparently going legit (and wants pictures of Ant Man). So they decide to find his old house guessing that Pym is kidnapped and held hostage there despite the fact that Elias a.k.a. Egghead told Peter he wanted pictures of Ant Man. He's probably inside.
