Related: https://www.wired.com/2014/10/4-acre-spider-web-engulfs-building/ quote:The Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant put out a call for "extreme spider" help in 2009, when a giant spiderweb covered almost 4 acres of their facility. Scientists eventually estimated over 107 million spiders were living in the structure, with densities of 35,176 spiders per m³ in spots.

In Fantastic Four #334 some shadowy silhouette plants a device outside of the Baxter Building. Suddenly villains begin attacking their home. Such dangerous villains as the Constrictor, Shocker, and the Beetle! In #335 they go to a senate hearing, and wouldn't you know it, more villains attack!  But Sharon Ventura notices a pattern in the attacks.  Unsurprisingly I'm enjoying Walt Simonson's take on the Fantastic Four. Edit:  In 349 the Fantastic Four had been incapacitated so Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Hulk and Wolverine took over for them. This issue promised an exploitative appearance by Punisher. It did not disappoint. This was it. Push El Burrito fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Oct 2, 2017 |

would spider-man still freak out if he unexpectedly found a big spider on him or is he immune to that as part of his powers

LOCUST FART HELL posted:would spider-man still freak out if he unexpectedly found a big spider on him or is he immune to that as part of his powers Well, he would know the spider wasn't a threat to him because his spider-sense wouldn't be tingling, so he probably wouldn't freak out. He might still startle a little, mind.

 From an early GI Joe comic. I love how hard rear end that trainer is--"Oh, you've been shot, by me--have an aspirin!"

And four years later, the Shockmaster debuted in WCW. Coincidence?

That, uuuh, is going to lead to him bleeding out if he is intending him to keep fighting. Or massive complications in his recovery if the bullet isn't extracted. Also what the hell is this Starship Troopers? Live fire exercises is one thing but firing at your own troops? I am starting to think whoever wrote that is either having way too much fun or doesn't know how bullets work. That or that guy firing thinks he went to the Cobra marksmanship course and isn't going to hit anyone even if he tried.

Not to mention that the Commander was a bit less cartoony and a bit more vicious.  You really SHOULD pick it up.

That's one of the earliest issues of the G.I. Joe ongoing. It's somewhere between #2 and #5, as I recall. I had it in trade paperback as a kid. Hama very much does know how bullets work; he's a Vietnam veteran and his operational specialty was specifically firearms and ordinance. IIRC, the story from that issue has two of the Joes going undercover in a militia compound to find and retrieve the nuclear bomb they have on the premises, as the compound's leaders intend to train their militia to survive after World War III, then start it themselves. It's a plot point that the trainers are psychotic and the trainees are largely frightened and out-of-shape civilians.

I'm not sure whether he's hoping the joes won't traumatize the little girls, or if he really thinks they will miss him and hit a scout when he's only ten feet away and two feet taller than everyone else.

Look, much as I'd love to, I can't just hog the whole thread for G.I. Joe posting. I'll direct those of you with archives to my original Joe comic retrospectives located here and here, and those of you without archives to purchase archives. Hopefully one of these days I can get my poo poo together and continue the series.
