Then when he recovered he took up boxing. And Peter agreed to spar with him so they could talk out their issues while he was punched in their face. It's good stuff and belongs in the Touching Panel thread.

Does anyone remember the time Peter tricked Jameson into thinking his son, astronaut and true American hero John Jameson, was Spider-Man, but only for about one issue? I think it was in one of those books that came out simultaneously with JMS on Amazing.

If I recall correctly, panel one is him staring at the TV in shock in the Bugle newsroom, panel two is him having fallen off-panel and everyone else looking at him on the floor.

definitely smarter, archer has flashes of genius-level intelligence and perception that actually does live up to his own hype. archer's problem is that he's a colossal douchebag who cares more about screwing with people than using any of his gifts.

hal's only gift is his own stupidity that makes him too pure to corrupt or some similar horseshit

Reminds me of the time he wanted to sue Jessica Jones for taking the money he paid her to find out Spider-Man's identity and giving it to kids charities instead. Robbie had to gently explain to Jonah that suing somebody for helping sick kids was probably a bad look.

In that case he'd just have to be mentally damaged enough to angrily yell "Who the hell is that?" at every single person he met that made the mistake of introducing themselves by name to him.

If I remember correctly, JJJ hired Jessica to find out Spider-Man's secret identity. She proceeded to go around town volunteering at soup kitchens and orphanages while collecting a per diem from JJJ, on the basis that she'd supposedly heard Spider-Man was an orphan and she was collecting information.

I remember the relatively subtle detail that the comic began and ended on a very similar panel, but in the first one, Jessica was writing on a legal pad, and in the second, she has a laptop.

Hell, he was an orphan, so there's no way Jonah would win that lawsuit. That's infinitely more honesty and effort than you'd get from most consultants.

This one requires a bit of explanation, but thinking about kid inappropriate moments in early Eighties superhero comics reminded me of the time my mom decided she needed to censor a Firestorm comic I was reading:



Imagine "darn" written over each of those "damns" in pen so it reads DARN! DARN! DARN!

Unfortunately, I got rid of a lot of comics over the years, and I wish I'd kept this one in retrospect. I was a four year old reading this comic when it came out that month. Good job self-editing there, Gerry Conway.

(The Fury of Firestorm #17, approved by the Comics Code Authority and cover-dated October 1983.)

He wasn't, that's set right after the reset so he'd only been Green Lantern maybe a year at that point.
