And yet just 10 words to Norman and he doesn't need scans or any other kind of confirmation: he KNOWS that spidey's back, as surely as he knows 1+1=2.
It's amazing too because Norman's face is so well drawn you can just feel the hate coming off the page when he realizes. If anything that sells the reveal even more.

There's an issue of the Marvel Ren and Stimpy comic (written by Dan Slott!) that clowns on this whole sequence... Spidey's got to get out for his Aunt May, yes, but also his old English teacher Mr. Sheckley, Otto Flippa the Incan God of Ties (his head is an upside down Volkswagen), Pepe, Hans and Rita (three clipart bears), their kids....

Oh, and instead of buried in debris, he's crustied in a giant booger. Because it's a Ren and Stimpy comic.

It was also parodied by another comic... Damned if I can remember what it was called. Was about a group of utterly despicable teenage nerds.

Edit: Also, boo ^^^

Yeah, but "Spider-Man lifts something heavy off himself" is something Spider-Man writers keep going back to the well for, and I kinda wish they'd cut it out because it's never as good as the first time in #33.

Spectacular Spider-Man did that pretty well, too. He's his normal, quippy self in all their previous fights. But when Spidey fights the Sinister Six in in his symbiote suit, he doesn't say a word.

Which Doc Ock picks up on:

It was a good show.

I got my son for the summer this week. Because it's on Comcast's VOD service we shotgunned through both seasons of this the last couple days. It really is quite good.

Also however, one of its lower points has it do the scene in issue 33 above and completely no sell it. Like he's trapped under the machine for like 2 minutes before seeing unconscious Gwen, and pushing off a nondescript machine the size of a trailer home with no real fanfare.

There was also him beating the Juggernaut by repeatedly getting his rear end kicked until Juggs stumbled into cement. Parker luck dudes!

For a building in Manhatten? Foundation piles dropped to the bedrock and then whatever else is needed for the building size. A dozen metres for a mat to top the piles?

e - Seems like a lot. Might be the age of the comic and building practices of the time.

Improperly reinforcing the concrete in the hope the building fails whenever a super hero right takes place nearby seems like a good insurance scam.

I wonder if OSHA has additional chapters in the Marvel Universe about proper use of super powers in a construction site.

I don't really know much about Juggernaut's power set, only that they've kind of flopped around between whether he's a mutant or powered by his magic crystal or whatever, but wouldn't being encased in cement kind of, you know, kill him real good? Not that death is ever more than a slight inconvenience, but seems a bit morbid for Spider-Man.

He's entirely magic-powered, and like he says in one of the panels (fourth from last), doesn't even need air.

Was reading the manga series The Vinland Saga and came across something I thought was pretty badass. The series is mainly set during the Viking conquest of England and follows several characters, one of them is Thorfinn son of Thors who used to be a real killer. He spends a good chunk of the series on a quest for revenge only to have it taken away from him as the object of his revenge is killed. In his anger he attacks King Canute of England, who in revenge sells Thorfinn into slavery (lots of revenge going on.) This scene takes place years later as King Canute (who is now king of Denmark too) attacks the farming village Thorfinn has been living in as a slave. In the intervening years Thorfinn has renounced violence and is now trying to broker a peace between Canute and the landowner.
