Again a very likpatous story
Even ignoring the gun part of it, how is Nino shooting web from it? From what I recall Pete invented the web fluid himself and so nobody else would know how to make it, in fact he tried to sell it to a couple of companies who didn't buy because they thought it was worthless since it broke apart after an hour. The web shooters themselves also have some pretty fine parts to them due to how the fluid is stored/shot that I can't imagine a regular rear end gun would have.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
So, the ""current"" comic is going into a very important series of strips. I'm not saying I'm gonna be posting the whole arc, but for the next week or two I will be posting strips from the ""present""

Those are all good points, but have you considered that this is Newspaper Spider-Man? I think that will answer all your questions.

Also, after all these years, a chance to bring back this image.

I thought maybe that was standard style for writing the name of a newspaper but I googled it and

quote:

Do not place in quotation marks: names of newspapers, magazines, central texts of a religion (Bible, Koran), dictionaries, handbooks and reference books.

Even the very first example they gave! Newspaper names are supposed to be italicized, for the record, quotation marks are used for poems, articles, short stories, or chapters from a book.

e: I guess italicizing with hand lettering would be a little more difficult to do, so they decided to use quotes instead. They can't rely on capital letters since all letters are capital, and I guess they were worried if they didn't put quotes around it people might think The Bugle was a person?

Oh, right. I forgot that Spider-Man's suit was completely airtight, and he's been breathing from the reserve ever since Dr. Laura's office.

If you don't know the context or characters you could very well read this strip as the wicked spider villain monologuing his clever scheme before the hero passes out.

so, i was wondering what to do. I love Raccoon son, but these things can take a long while, so maybe just a bit of that, or maybe up to finding Ronan. Maybe just the Ronan fight. Re-reading the old thread I've realized I can't not commit to the whole arc, so we're gonna be going 'till August or so.

A quick recap and what's already happened thus far so you don't end up like Push El Burrito hoping for things that already passed:
