NSM is something I've always heard about and seen the edits of, but I've never really sat down and read. Started reading this thread a few hours ago, couldn't stop. I've laughed myself silly; this is clearly a parallel universe in which everything is wonderful. Space and time are irrelevant; continuity is but a bitter memory.

Except for a weakness to bricks (and bricks on sticks). Apparently they are his kryptonite.

Well, that, and SJWs.

Your life and your quest end here.


I really wish he'd given the size in meters as "standard Earth length units" or something, leading Peter to expect it to be much smaller than it turns out to be.

it is a good thing rocket was so vague, because the sentry is obviously gonna be a different size in every panel it appears.

I'm going to assume, unless proven otherwise, that Rocket knows drat well what a raccoon is and has been trying to get a rise out of Peter the whole time. Since Peter's refused to take the bait, though, he's acting out in other ways (yeah sure he thinks he can take the hotel TV with him) until he gets Spidey to snap.

He's in for a long wait, because if there's one thing Newspaper Spider-man can do, it's take his lumps, forever.

I know I shouldn't use logic here, but to be honest, all that guy did was see what he thought was a kid in a costume sneaking around a trashcan at night and play in the garbage. Disturbing, yes, but for all he knows that kid is at that age where he refuses to stop playing raccoon man, he's too into his role, he snuck out at night while his parents were sleeping (because you can't stay awake ALL night to watch the kid), and he was trying to eat his raccoon food like a real raccoon. No real sign of neglect beyond the assumed-kid having seemingly browbeaten the parents into letting him go around like that to keep his rear end manageable, and Peter himself had a look on his face like "i am dead inside" when the manager returned their son to them.

This has all been a meeting with a hosed up family with a possibly special needs son, and this manager is nothing if not understanding.

Thankfully he missed Peter's face randomly manifesting a projection of his mask for a moment in the final panel. I love how the mask is frowning, too.

His super power is all about him being able to stick to things. Anti-gravity could keep him away from surfaces.

Rocket is now his mortal enemy.

On the other hand he could reduce the velocity of bricks falling toward spideys head. They could be a god-like partnership.

Different newspapers have different space/layout options so the panels can be configured to match the space a few ways. Or to just leave hideous whitespace everywhere.
