Another question, Comics Kingdom only goes back to last year, is there another service that can do prints older than that?

Edit: If you try to order a print there's a button that says "Next: Shipping" :allears:

The one genuinely good (rather than ironically 'good') thing about NSM is that MJ is shown as universally competent and capable, way more so than the ostensible hero, and unwilling to put up with the stupid poo poo that goes on around her, rather than just being a fridge-awaiting damsel in distress. I guess that's likely to change. :smith:

She's not at the level of 360 no scope throwing a pipe at Kilgrave's throat like Newspaper MJ but MJ in the PS4 Spider--Man game is pretty competent, you even play as her a few times.

If there's a specific strip you're looking for I can generate a link for it that will work for non-members. I assume you can probably order a print of it from there. Test: https://comicskingdom.com/shared_comics/47c70db2-e818-4352-8e5c-a439967c748b

Apparently, there was the following comment from Roy Thomas:
“I know nothing of any Spidey strip to come, only that the one Alex Saviuk and I (and until recently Larry Lieber) had been doing is kaput.”

gently caress! gently caress! gently caress everything. This stupid dumb strip was one of the few good things in my life.

Welp, my sincere thanks for all the memories, Roy Thomas et al. I'll buy a collection of the last few years of strips if any is ever made.

Yes that works fantastic. If you can link the one where Peter realizes he has the proportionate strength of a spider but so does the giant spider that would be perfect.

Losing Newspaper Spider-Man is the last sign that we live in the darkest timeline. gently caress. Rappin' Ronnie Reagan is dead too so we can't even rely on him to do a second good thing in his life and save it again.

The spider isn't giant; it's the spider-man who's tiny.

Thanks to Pym radiation, Spider-Man got the proportionate strength of an ant-sized spider; while the regular spider got the proportionate strength of a spider-sized spider.

Doesn't Ant-Man still have the actual strength of a man-sized man?

Ant-Man's power is that he still has the full strength of a normal man when ant-sized.

If this also worked when he was giant sized it would be fun.

In the Superhero Party SNL skit from the 70s Ant-Man mentions he has normal human power at the size of an ant and then the other heroes make fun of him for having the strength of one man.
