That was the plan? Break the McGuffin, flee, and if caught offer to fix the McGuffin in exchange for being allowed to leave?

They pulled their punch on letting Spidey straight-up murder an old man.

It's like how we have to pretend Ronan's still alive.

Weren't they just trying to kill him?

Hm, actually, all they did was chase after him and surround him, even though Tyrannus was yelling "destroy them!" They probably would have stopped Tyrannus if he had ever actually gotten around to trying to hurt Melvin.

Tyrannus didn't actually conquer anything. Kala probably just asked Melvin to go hang out on the surface and let Tyrannus sit on the throne for a bit so he'd stop whining.

Lenny was probably in on it too.

Goddamn, I feel like the writer is just toying with us. "Oh, maybe I'll have Moleman marry May. BUT MAYBE I WON'T. :trollface: But maybe I will. BUT MAYBE I WON'T..."

Either option is awesome, because it's either "oh, the mole people are so sad!" "eh, gently caress 'em" or "I've decided to abandon May and rule the moloids, even though I just spent a week saying they're all dumb and worthless".

Yeah, there is kind of a pattern with the last few stories huh:

Nah, she's fine.

Peter jumped down that hole and Spider-Man came out, and her first question wasn't "where is my nephew?" So either the fact that he's Spider-Man is so obvious it's not worth mentioning, or she thinks he died under the earth but that's not what's important right now

Talking loudly about how stupid they are right in front of them and then just assuming they still want him to rule him after that is probably how he got deposed and exiled in the first place.

It's so weird how NSM cycles between California, Florida and New York. It's been this way for at least fifteen years, with the flashback story to the Lizard taking place in the Everglades.

Also, the OP archive is done. I've added all of 2016 and the complete previous 17 years of daily Newspaper Spider-Man. You may think that's a lot of comics, and it is, but it's really not. I'd say each year reads like a couple issues of a modern comic because it reads so fast. So check it out and enjoy.

"Nope, didn't meet Mole Man. Ignore all the stories saying my wife talked down some security guards who wanted to shoot him. And definitely ignore anyone saying he was going to marry my aunt."

e:f;b

Also it's still really funny how the first act was just random people trying to beat up Melvin for just walking around Hollywood while old.

Yeah, NSM, if I had to pick a literary reference--like, specifically, a well-known 19th century gothic novella--to describe the situation of a doctor with a monstrous alter ego, I'd definitely go with Frankenstein.

Newspaper Spider-Man is consistent about very few things, but one of them is that Peter can instantly change between panels because "he gets a lot of practice".

unrelated, but it's really bizarre to me that apparently Venom is canon to NSM:
