I really wish he'd given the size in meters as "standard Earth length units" or something, leading Peter to expect it to be much smaller than it turns out to be.

I'm not a history buff, nor am I near New Mexico at all, but nothing here sounds remotely right.

I know that whenever I see a big guy with a hammer, I instantly want to vandalise a historical monument.

As far as I can see, Spidey's really painted himself into a corner here. As he says, if he gives the helmet back then Ronan's got no reason to cooperate, so his only choice is to just let Ronan die now? I know Ronan was planning on enslaving the entire planet or whatever, but Spidey doesn't usually deal with bad guys by killing them.

Didn't he end up taking the bus once? Like, not clinging to the side of the bus but actually paying the fare and riding on it?

He and Ant-Man recently took the subway. Twice.

So,as a relative newcomer to this beautiful nonsense,I noticed that the archive (or whatever you'd call it) is missing the months of February and well,March. Anywhere for a Canadian like myself to find them?

From this year? Those are still up for free on Comics Kingdom.

Is there any workaround for the awful app putting a massive "play" symbol over these comic strips just because they're gif files? It's so annoying having to always load imgur just to read them.

I don't know of a workaround, but you don't have to load imgur, you can just tap them and then select "play .gif".

Surprised a B-list actor and a freelance photographer (who is apparently still a college student? at least according to some of the Sunday intro panels?) can afford to live in loving Manhattan.
MJ is a Broadway star as well as a film actor, and Peter's not a student (the Sunday panels just never get updated).

One of them is the Chameleon. This arc will include at least one scene where Spidey is fighting an old women on stage.

This except it's not the Chameleon, Peter just thinks Aunt Anna is a supervillain for some reason.

Say the movie's name as often as possible!

"Well, in my new movie, Marvella II, I play the character of Marvella II, who, in Marvella II, fights her enemy, who is a new character for this movie, Marvella II...

The parody is less absurd than the original.

Though I don't remember how it resolved. After May came down with Spelunker's Lung or w/e, did Moley wistfully bid her farewell and they all just went their separate ways?
I think so, yeah.

Now that it is established that Moleman is rich as gently caress, it basically destroys any chance of him sticking around as Uncle Moley because the closest Peter can get to having money is watching his far more talented wife succeed independently of him.
Having a rich uncle doesn't actually make you rich though.

Do the weekday and weekend colorists like hate each other or something
For reasons I don't understand, the weekday colouring is done by the syndicate while the Sunday colouring is done by the actual artist. So the Sunday colours are correct and the weekday ones are the best guess of someone who doesn't read the Sunday strips and isn't paid enough to care.

The one Batman crossover where Spiderman had no idea how to deal with the Joker was fun.

I can't really see why Spider-Man should have any particular difficulty with the Joker. Web him up and hand him over to the police. :shrug:

It's been going since 1977, so probably a few times by now.

I'm sure he must have tried more than once, but how would you ever check? I don't think anyone's crazy enough to have actually documented all 40 years of it.

Wonder no longer. That storyline starts April 5th, 2004 and runs through May and June and finishes on the 11th of July.
