Uthor posted:Someone on tumblr made a great Spider-Man comic. Not gonna lie, I love things like this. Reminds me of a Spider-man comic, I wanna say early 2000s? He was out on a stakeout and hadn't had time to eat dinner, so he was hungry, and he ran into a dude eating some popcorn on the fire stairs of his apartment, and asked him for some popcorn, and the dude was like "Man, only in New York, I love this city." Anyone remember what that issue was?

Hold on a second, let's continue the Stardust conversation from last page. Until now, whenever I read a Stardust strip, I was operating under the assumption that "ha ha, funny, it's a nice parody of old-style superhero comics." You're seriously telling me Stardust was 100% written, drawn and published absolutely and honestly unironically?

Newspaper Spider-Man In the current story arc, Peter and Mary Jane are driving across the US from New York to Los Angeles. While passing through New Mexico, they see a mysterious meteor-like object falling from the sky, decide to investigate, and stop by a local diner to ask if anyone's seen where the meteor landed. In the diner, Ronan the Accuser was interrogating the local population to find where something he seeks is. The situation rapidly degenerates into fisticuffs between Peter and Ronan. So we come to today's strip.

In case you're not reading the Comic Strip thread, The Phantom has been hitting it out of the park recently. Context for the following is: a businessman wants to put the Phantom on a postage stamp, thinking he's only a legend despite everyone telling him not to loving do it. The Phantom decides to go and have a talk with him, and while approaching the mansion he's spotted by the businessman's driver, who knows he's real and has some history with him.

Are requests kosher in this thread? I'm trying to find a Spider-Man comic I remember reading where he chances upon two aliens fighting each other, and it looks like one of them is an escaped slave and the other is his master who's trying to recapture him. So Spidey launches into an impassionate speech saying that freedom and self-determination are universal right and so on, only for the "escapee" to interrupt him. "I am not a slave." "What? But you called him 'master', didn't you? ...Oh god this is totally a sex thing isn't it." "What, do things like this not exist on your planet?"

The following is from the Comic Strip thread. A bit of background: Modesty Blaise is an extremely skilled crimelady-turned-spy, and Willie Garvin is her lifelong partner who is just as skilled if not more so. In this story they are on vacation on an island, and while scuba diving they are spotted by a trio of treasure hunters who are excavating a shipwreck, and who think Modesty and Willie have found the same shipwreck, so the treasure hunters decide to kidnap them and hold them until they're done removing the treasure from the wreck. Hilarity ensures. Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise

Zaodai posted:It makes you wonder how they even judge what peak human capacity would be in a world where there are people who are way stronger than "regular" humans. Even if you use Captain America as a baseline, he's still doped up on super serum, and ends up being stronger than way bigger guys who you'd end up seeing in World's Strongest Man or something. quote:Several physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming: his long, thin torso offers low drag; his arms span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm)—disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm)—and act as long, propulsive paddles; his relatively short legs lower drag, and perhaps add the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil; his size-14 feet provide the effect of flippers; and his hypermobile ankles can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet as if they were fins for maximum thrust through the water. Michael Phelps would totally get pointed at as a mutant.

Monaghan posted:Bendis was a little ridiculous in having like every villain figure out spider man's identity, but there's this great moment after ultimate peterdies in which Flash is sitting in a clasroom going "uhhh.... was I the only one who didn't know Peter was spider man?" I remember one issue where one of Ultimate Peter's classmates turns out to be a mutant (Ultimate Firestar I think?), her powers awaken during a party and she flies away in a panic. Another one of their classmates goes "Someone should go after her" and Peter says "Why are you all looking at me like that?", so the classmate says "Alright then, if you want it that way. OH GEE, I SURE WISH SPIDER-MAN WAS HERE, SO HE COULD GO AFTER HER AND TALK TO HER."

Spider-Man: Fake Red Normal high school student Yu finds Spider-Man's suit in the trash and decides to wear it. After being nearly killed by Spidey's enemies several times, he ends up teaming up with the real Spider-Man to fight Mysterio (who knows Spider-Man's real identity). So now Peter has to fight while at the same time trying to prevent Yu from being murdered by Mysterio's illusions. (That illusion is MJ, for the record.)

Kabru, the guy in the first two panels, is listening to Misurn, the captain of a squad of "Canaries" (basically elf black ops), talk about his past. (Read right to left.)

(For context, they met in like chapter 3 or 4 iirc, which was 20+ years ago.) So you already have new readers jumping in while having no idea on how the characters got where they are now.

Bad Girl Exorcist Reina Reina Suzuno is a high school girl and an exorcist, and she's also a delinquent. Dyed hair, terrible attitude, the works. One day her friends decide to have fun playing kokkuri-san (the japanese equivalent of an ouja board), and they accidentally summon a poltergeist, which refuses to break the contact and when they try to send it away forcibly starts making books, tables, chairs, and other stuff fly through the air, endangering them. Reina arrives and punches the desk they're playing on really hard. Everything that had been flying through the air falls to the ground. (Read right to left.)

Endo and Kobayashi's Live Commentary on the Villainess (I was debating whether to put this here or in the Badass Panels thread, but in the end decided for here.) The framing of this story is two friends playing an otome game and somehow their comments can be heard by some of the characters, and they use that to steer the story in the direction they want to (to avoid the Bad End, of course). But that's not really important for these pages. A bunch of kids are students at a magic school. Artur (the long haired guy in these pages) asks his friend Sieg to introduce him to Finne (the girl, Sieg is the guy standing next to her in the first panel), because Finne is apparently very skilled at healing and support magic and Artur wants to ask her to switch classes and study to become a priestess and healer. Sieg replies, "But that's not actually true." Artur asks "What do you mean?", and Sieg says he will show him. (Read right to left.)
