Would you be my new best friends?

"Only my genius could have located the Sentry so quickly" says giant space-man who asked confused patrons at a roadside diner the previous day where to find it, before being attacked by the husband of the woman who found it by looking it up on Google 10 minutes earlier.

And that is why I love Newspaper Spider-Man

Not that It's hard, but MJ is the most competent character in the strip.

They're going to leave Ronan floating endlessly in the infinite void of space and MJ will feel kind of bad about it.

You weren't in costume when you guys last "fought" spidey, take it easy.

And Rocket does look more threatening than you.

Will this encounter end with MJ robing a zoo to convince Ronan that his dangerous foe has multiple clones?

I dunno, I think the punchline could be improved by Rocket having a line. Some variation of "you are really full of yourself, aren't you webby?"

He's actually thinking "Does Ronan know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man? That's me... Spider-Man!"

Normally, I'd agree, but that armour's obscenely tough, as is Ronan himself, and Rocket knows this, having fought him before.

There's also like a 60% chance the shot will just bounce off and hit Peter. So what I'm saying is he should take the shot.

The Hadron Enforcer(?), thing could blow up a Ravager mothership, barely scratched him with a direct shot to the chest.

Well Rocket was talking in the previous comic, so he knows Rocket's voice. A random not-walking-on-hind-legs raccoon won't work.

Just another excuse for Rocket to get naked then. So, the plan still works :pseudo:

The key is levitating, but it's gone in the last panel.

Obviously MJ ran in and grabbed it while Ronan was busy completely wrecking her husband.

yea we make fun but those last 2 panels did 100% sell 'Ronan literally could not care less about his opponents and is brushing them off like bugs'
