Profoundly dumb arc by all. But Peter has the power to punch it all over aaaa.
"Spiderman stole the election" is something Jonah would believe regardless of president

So I guess one of two things is happening:

- One of Hammerhand's goons (I keep typing Hammerhead) is sympathetic to Spidey and is 'helping' him by releasing his incriminating photos to the press in advance, so Hammerhand has no leverage against him

- Hammerhand himself is releasing those photos to the press because ???, thus completely undermining his entire plan

Either option is very dumb, but this is a very dumb storyline.

Haram as Fuck.

So after all that whinging over Hammerhand's laughably impotent threat, Pete managed to dive head first into the worst possible outcome imaginable.

Oh, well! At least he only gave them the picture of Spidey committing an actual crime rather than the harmless one of him standing in a room.

And also his wife knows just enough for her to know he's doing the crimes and think he's into that now.

So, at this point it's a year since Peter decided to tell MJ the truth, three arcs, peter is trying to find a landlord to punch and so on. I really wonder how much people bought in to MJ leaving forever back in teh day, as Carol had left in a similar way, but the wedding in the comics was probably starting to build up around now. Advertising of the TV event should start soonish, too.

I know he likes explaining it but I think most people can figure out the origin of the name "Hammerhand."

HammerHand, you could just, y'know, kill him? You get out of the picture one o fhte few people trying to find you, and Spider-man gets to know you're for serious while you still have your leverage on him.

so during the months between MJ telling Peter hell no and Aunt Anna saying she left town, MJ and Peter stayed friends and talked fairly often. Mostly about MJ not being able to cope and how Spider-man sucks (but Spider-man is Peter! oh no!) then this latest arc Peter helps the daughter of the arc's villain and Robbie got kidnapped

Huh! That's pretty cool, and while going through this era of sunday strips it did seem like the style took big cues from animation designs of the late 80s.

There should just be a three week complimentary arc of Peter and MJ on vacation in Australia and only mundane things happening.
