It is absolutely ridiculous how many comic runs there are that are only distinguishable by the year they started.

The Amazing Spider-Man (1963)
The Amazing Spider-Man (1979)
The Amazing Spider-Man (1982)
The Amazing Spider-Man (1999)
The Amazing Spider-Man (2014)
The Amazing Spider-Man (2015)
The Amazing Spider-Man (2018)
Amazing Spider-Man (2022)

I'm sure I've missed some, and there are so, so many "Amazing Spider-Man: ________" runs in addition to that.

Anyway that Electro page is from Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #9

I don't remember anything happening with the rag in 1982 :confused:

100%



Plot synopsis: Peter gets a bus ticket from notable cheapskate JJJ to Cape Canaveral to cover a launch. Doc Ock sets off the spidey sense, but clearly has a major toothache. Petey switches into Spider-Man, puts a tracer on Doc Ock's car, and follows Doc to a dentist's office. Switches back to Parker, fakes a dental emergency to get seen.

Doc Ock has some sort of weird implant in his teeth, runs out of the dentist's office tossing money into the air. Peter is obligated to follow through on his dental exam (and he's taken much better care of his teeth than Otto). The lead dentist doesn't follow HIPAA at all and just shows Peter the scan of the implant in Dr. Octavius' molar because he asked about the guy next door.

Anyway eventually Spider-Man punches Doc Ock and the tooth is dislodged, JJJ complains about Peter Parker claiming a dental expense for the trip. Seems canon enough to me!

This was all an ad for Aim toothpaste, 12 years after A.I.M.'s first appearance.

It's this. I like it a lot, but it's definitely extremely edgy, but in like a cartoon violence way, not an Ennis way.

The lack of sophistication in her insults at least has an in-universe explanation: she has been trapped in fairyland since her big magical childhood adventure went wrong. She never had a chance to grow up in a non-insane environment or develop much of a vocabulary outside the semiotics of sugarplum fairy land. Problem is, the whole series is a one-joke premise and palls pretty quickly.

Only thing I'll add is that the art is consistently good. Whether that's enough for you I couldn't say but I at least stuck with it for 12 issues or so.

Regarding these panels, should have probably added this is from page 17 of issue five, and the first 16 pages have no dialogue. Instead you're supposed to listen to this song while you read the issue. The band keeps following Gert around while she completes her various fetch quests;

Yeah, as scene in these panels from Vol5 Issue 2


As for I Hate Fairyland as a whole I did like it, but I also understand that not everyone would feel that way. It features a lot of over-the-top, cartoon violence ie. geysers of blood, severed heads and limbs, like the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons from The Simpsons. The first four volumes follow Gert who, as a child, enters Fairyland and ends up spending years there instead of days. Since she doesn't age physically you basically have this child going around with the mind of sociopathic adult, although the whole things played for laughs. This current volume, Gert's Inferno, has a now adult Gert trying to find her way back to Fairyland by passing though the equivalent of Hell. If you have access to Hoopla, the whole series is on there now.
