Truly a classic, but it's only the second most infamous and haunting Spider-Man story where our hero gets smacked in the head by masonry.

It's going to end with Ronan going home while the sentry will have been befriended by a scrappy young kid who taught it the meaning of heroism, and it may or may not sacrifice itself to save Albuquerque from a nuclear attack. Spider-Man will have nothing to do with it.

Good to see Stan still doesn't understand spiders after all these years. And that apparently if you are named after an animal you need to emulate its (misunderstood) characteristics, despite being, you know, a person.
