I love how Rocket is reduced to throwing random trash at the sentry. I also notice that there's a trash can there at some point, did Rocket bring it to the top of that rooftop just to throw it at the sentry?

Well, he needed a snack.

I figured out the next story arc.

Since Mary Jane's weakness is trucks and Spiderman's weakness is bricks the truck driver she paid for his truck will turn evil due to a bounced check and steal a truck loaded with bricks becoming The Brick Louse.

Next: "The Death of Spider-Man!"

Holy poo poo. They are actually implying Rocket killed Ronan, and is bullshitting Spidey and MJ.

Come to think of it, yeah, the entire explanation was "he can be unconscious with no harm without any air". So suggesting there's a reason to give him more air than he's getting now means it's all bunk and he's deader than 616-Spidey's marriage.

Just want to be sure everyone in the thread is aware of Mole Man's history with Aunt May in the Newspaper Spider-verse:

http://comicsalliance.com/spider-man-newspaper-aunt-may-mole-man-marriage/

I looked that storyline up in the OP and it was amazing. Ben Grimm--who is bulletproof and can go toe to toe with the Hulk--gets taken down with an ordinary wooden stick to the knee. So does Spidey, obviously, but that's basically par for the course by now. Even for this comic, though, it's crazy that Aunt May is all "oh, he's such a gentleman probably" while her arms are pinned and she's being dragged down under the earth.

I think Mole Man is actually running directly behind the limo and keeping up using his super stamina.

That's a really strange way to run if he's doing that, but it makes about as much sense as just clinging to a limo.

So it's going to change between the two every day for a week, and then on Sunday he'll have a tricycle.

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'.)

His evil scheme seems to be "look at Aunt May without people trying to throw him out." He's basically the Hulk, but with elderliness instead of anger.

I was seriously expecting them to win by forcing Ronan to use up all his energy and then giving him nothing to feed on. Since that's typically what happens when you conspicuously introduce a plot element at the end of the first act works. But instead it's just this gloriously random scene, never to be mentioned again.

Shine on, you crazy spider.

In the general comic strip thread, Spider-Man defeated a werewolf in a planetarium by faking the sun rise.

I still maintain this is legitimately cool and, to the best of my knowledge, original. Planetariums seem like an under-utilized setting for action setpieces in general now, come to think of it.
