Be honest, though, JRJR is the reason to read those first 25 issues, isn't it?

The art is incredible, true, but the writing is still really drat good. Then issue 26 is like somebody flipped a switch from good to bad. It's kinda amazing.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Someone flipped that switch on Dan Slott halfway through his She-Hulk run. Everything he'd written up until then was creative and funny, and then poof, nothing but trash.

More medium-smart Hulk, please. No chromed super-science gadgets (I remember that era), just enough intelligence to be unsettling.

Well, after that ugly incident with Gwen Stacey, he learned his lesson about allowing Physics to have any say in what happens.

E: And a quick google search also reveals he rips off Kraven's wife's face with his hand at one point.

Not like, ALL of their skin. For Kingpin it was just small fingertip pieces. And the clone that did it as his signature move was an evil (kinda?) clone.

It’s from

might help you track it down / tweet at the artist etc.

Real spiders are like that too, just they excrete it in such small quantities that it takes a lot of direct exposure to start having an effect on human skin. Like, I'm talking have your pet tarantula crawl all over you for decades starts giving you a mild rash level.
