The possibility of seeing a Wasp getting beat up was too much of a temptation.

Ok then Dr Blake

Points for picking an actual practicing medical doctor (though a surgeon might be a bit much) instead of going with Doctor Doom or something.

Also I just noticed Comics Kingdom offers framed prints of the strip of your choice.

I'm tempted.

If you want a different strip, it looks like you go here, pick your strip, then click the 'buy prints' button. It also looks like they only keep one year's worth of strips archived, so if there's something you would want from November 2015, act quickly!

I wanna see Peter and MJ poke around, find nothing conclusive, and go back to their ultimately very boring road trip while Ronan and Friends have an awesome adventure Spidey just barely missed.

I remember seeing an entirely :nms: Youtube video of two super buff guys arm-wrestling, and one of them ending up with a snapped arm simply from the forces involved.

I know that happened in the Jeff Goldblum version of 'The Fly'; were you thinking of that, or something in real life?

Hey, Rocket finally put on clothes. And stopped asking "what's a raccoon?"

I'm going to assume, unless proven otherwise, that Rocket knows drat well what a raccoon is and has been trying to get a rise out of Peter the whole time. Since Peter's refused to take the bait, though, he's acting out in other ways (yeah sure he thinks he can take the hotel TV with him) until he gets Spidey to snap.

So, what, is Ronan an Immortal? He suffocates, comes back to life just long enough to give some exposition, then suffocates again? If Peter had taken off his head instead of just his hat, would there be a crazy lightning storm?

I wonder just why Newspaper Spider-Man is so great. I mean, there must be someone on the project who, at one time, was wide-eyed and naive enough to try to make things make any sort of sense. Is this like Batman '66, where everything's supposed to be silly? Or is everyone involved really phoning it in?

You know, considering how easily the Sentry was chumped by MJ and Rocket...with an assist from the mostly useless Spider-dude...it seems pretty optimistic of Ronan to think he could conquer the whole galaxy with one.

Well, isn't that why he had it do a trial run on Albuquerque first? Now he knows without the embarrassment of failing in front of the entire galaxy.

Aunt May is going to keep Peter in his seat long enough for the Mole Man to do whatever and get away, isn't she? (See also 'the Bruce Wayne problem'.)

Please tell me Mole Man's last name is actually man, and his full name is Melvin Man :allears:

Sadly, he doesn't follow that particular trope. On the other hand, his real name is apparently Harvey Rupert Elder, which - y'know, I'd seriously consider going by Mole Man with a name like that.

Y'know, what would be really useful is someone who could lift everyone, perhaps with the aid of some sort of woven bag or harness, and carry them to the roof where the police can't see them. Of course, such a person would need great physical strength, the ability to scale vertical walls unaided, and the tools and knowhow to quickly wrap people in a sufficiently strong material...

So was this strip always this crazy, or did it start serious (by comic book standards)? And, if the latter, is there a point where you can say 'the ride started here'?

Let's face it, Mole Man not getting to marry Aunt May is such an untwist it makes a Slinky straight, but I'm annoyed that the mechanism is 'Spider-Man talks Melvin into staying and looking after the moloids' instead of 'Melvin decides he can't abandon the moloids'. I mean, wasn't Spidey supporting the marriage not too long ago? I thought it was the colorist who couldn't remember what yesterday's strip was!

That seems like a very flip comment from Dr. Conners, considering.
