Apologies if this has been posted but I'm catching up on the wider newspaper comics thread and "MJ is menaced by a crocodilian which is then thrown off panel" has happened before. One more time and it's officially a motif

GRONNK is crocodilian for "not agaiiiin". Obviously it would be silly for the crocodile to say it the first time he was flung.

In my headcanon, Kraven is so skilled that in the second panel he's reversing a neck snap he did earlier on Spidey to revive him.

Why the gently caress don't they have blood available? It's a loving big hospital! Slap a bag of saline in him to bulk his volume while you run upstairs to fetch some.

There were Doctors there when they burst in earlier though, and that nurse had dark hair in the strip with the fab undercut.

If you're going to ask that, then there are 5 million other problems here, starting with "why didn't they confirm anyone's blood typing before injecting blood from one person to another", "why are they using whole blood instead of packed red cells", "why are they using syringes," and "why were they that unsure about tranfusing O- blood into someone with type AB-".

To be fair to the nurse, that should be more than enough blood to replace what she took from Banner.

You're assuming the writers/artists have any idea how hospitals work. Assuming wrongly.

There are hardcover trades of the 70s and 80s. Marvel needs to pick up the pace, or this arc won't be in hardcover until 2025.

I'm not entirely sure Marvel even knows NSM still exists, they forgot about it in the 90's and the strip's just kept running.

I wonder if Joe Quesada sits there each morning just shaking with rage as he reads his paper and gets to the funnies, and has to suffer the completely unrelatable notion of Spider-Man being happily married.

This arc might not be over until 2025, so that might not be a problem.

And they (briefly) followed the deal with Mephesto thing with Pete and MJ's marriage. Has the 616 get around to undoing that yet?

I think he's too busy fuming that Carlie Cooper never took off. Somehow a party girl supermodel is a more believable love interest than 'Peter but with tits.'

It isn't even wish-fulfillment fantasy, they have a cute dynamic where both lead crazy lives and find love in a mutual need for domestication.

the doctors evacuated the building due to banner's constant veiled threats. the heroic undercut nurse volunteered to stay behind to keep him distracted.

Yeah, plus years (decades!) of having been friends, then boyfriend/girlfriend and finally marriage. MJ was there for so much of what Peter went through, and her sticking around to support Peter after Gwen's death was a huge thing considering her character before then was "ditzy party girl".

Yes I'm still angry about that dumb retcon, especially since it was handled in such a ham-handed way.
