Are you talking about the strip where the cat outside his apartment window is bothering him while he's trying to draw so he just pushes it off and kills it in front of its owner who screams "Michael!!" at her dead cat in front of her?

Ok, so two beloved orange cats were killed by their authors.

they really messed up by not naming him J. Jonah Jameson Jr.

According to Wikipedia, his full name is John Jonah Jameson III, so the original JJJ is actually JJJjr.

That's why he goes by J Jonah Jameson, so he doesn't have to use the Junior

Assuming all three were alive concurrently, wouldn't it have gone

code:
1. John Jonah Jameson

2. John Jonah Jameson Sr.
   John Jonah Jameson Jr.

3. John Jonah Jameson Sr.
   John Jonah Jameson Jr.
   John Jonah Jameson III
which is how you end up with older relatives called Junior.

I can't go read it any more after I read the strip where the comic creator (as in he actually drew himself in the strip) kills Michael. I found it so disturbing that I don't want to accidentally come across it again.

With manga I honestly can never tell if someone is kidding or not. I guess I don't have that volume! :stare:

Not really. His adventures with Dawn helped humanize him a lot. It was a really good series, and I regret not getting the omni when it was cheaper.

Yeah, the whole Slott run with Dawn is started when somebody uses a thing to scan all of space and time to find the person most important to him as leverage to make him do a thing, only they haven't met before that. She helps him change and evolve. :) It's a really enjoyable fun and sweet run and the art is fantastic.

Did he ever get to do his 'Gauntlet' story arc he'd been working into every run he did with Marvel? I know he threw Gauntlet the character into his run on Iron Man.

Slott created the hot Asian female Spider-Man with a costume made of webs who was constantly compelled by pheromones to bang Peter Parker

She eventually got her own series with a different writer which was pretty good.

I'm as shocked as other posters about this. (Only read What's Michael once, but loved it.)

So, does the series just end on that or...? How do you do a comic about a cat when you just killed the cat? As I sit here with my own 2 cats typing this, I have no desire to see panels of cat death; just curious where it goes from there.

Smdh, everyone’s overreacting about “he killed the cat”. Cat’s got like at *least* 5 lives left, given average wear and tear.
