I think the intent was for him to be grabbing her and diving away.

But that means Rocket tried to shoot MJ because Spider-Man didn't know his name.

Have we considered that Ronan may be totally justified in wanting to apply the Hammer of Sweet Rehabilitation here?

This strip will just forget about Ronan now, and will focus on Rocket going on a mall shooting spree.

off-panel, ronan finds the missing sentry and then takes it home. aside from busting up a diner, he was being a responsible member of his race and cleaning up a stray kree giant murder robot.

Whoever predicted that the gun would be constantly off-model, good call. I bet that's the last we see of it until he uses it (produced from nowhere) to take out the big bad at the end of the arc. since it's obviously giving the artist fits.

So does Newspaper Spider-Man just not have a Spider-Sense, or what? I can't remember the last time he actually dodged a fist/brick/other object heading for his face.

He does, it just works exactly opposite to how you'd expect. Something happening on the other side of the city that he should investigate? Spider sense. The paper he's looking for is in this desk drawer? Spider sense. J Jonah Jameson says something negative about him behind his back? Spider sense. A blunt object is heading directly for his head? Nope, no warning for that one.

Basically his spider-sense has a mind of its own, and it loves seeing him get hurt.

I just noticed that the credit box features different artists (plural) for the weekend editions. God drat, those extra six tiny panels are so packed with detail they require a entire second art team!

Lee cuts out Lieber completely on the Sunday strips but it is widely speculated that Stan hasn't done anything with the strip since the 80s and the entire creative force is Lieber.

The weekend strips are usually way better drawn and have less inconsistencies than the weekday ones.

Sad news is that tommorow will likely be a recap strip. The good news is that we might get to see spidey get kicked in the head and dropped on his rear end again.

I love that Rocket isn't executing any kind of shoulder charge or directed strike and is just launching his entire body plank-wise at Spider-Man.

Please let the reveal be that spidey took peyote in the desert, ripped open a random trash can, and started fighting a feral raccoon.

Given that the alternative is Newspaper Spider-Man actually doing something useful, this is by far the most likely outcome.
