I just wanted to add my favorite "Spider-Man is bad at protecting his identity" thing. It was after the Kraven thing with the diamond stealing monkeys, Peter wanted to go to California but JJJ wouldn't pay for a plane ticket. So what does Peter do? Standing on the side of the road, out of costume he shoots webbing onto the back of a passing semi trailer, makes a web hammock, and lies down in it. Again, out of costume.

I think this was after he was in a car with a guy who pulled a gun on him and he crushed it with his bare hand. Though given that mutants do exist in the NSM universe I guess that wouldn't necessarily connect him to Spider-Man.
I think it was technically in between the cab and the trailer, which is a little better, I guess.

Vulture since the movie is coming out, but that might be in three years.
You would think they would time the guest appearances to coincide with movies being released, but it appears to me that they do not. Or they are just somehow 2-3 months off.

I'm not going to lie, if Mole Man just vanishes after this strip it would be sort of perfect.
My prediction now is Aunt May will be threatened by a villain and Spidey and Mole Man will team up.

what the gently caress is spiderman doing
After bringing them down off the wall, he's going to flip the fire escape landings over and they will sit inside so the police think they are people who are already under arrest and in jail and the people they are looking for must have run off.

Everything is defined as a "crawler" with how or where it transports itself to Moleman. Birds are sky-crawlers, fish are water- or sea-crawlers.

Except birds that can't fly like chickens, those are surface-crawlers. And then there's stuff like penguins, which are surface-and-sea-crawlers. Things like crabs are undersea-surface-crawlers. It's all very confusing and not very scientific.

What happened to the runoff Fountain of Youth water when the plug was in there? The pool would eventually fill if there's a constant stream, so it must go somewhere.

It seems to me there would be a bigger problem with immortal beings trying to take over the surface world with this much eternal-life water running around down in various parts of Subterranea.

How long were they down there? Seems like a couple hours? Wouldn't there be cops around at the famous LA landmark where a giant worm came out of the ground and kidnapped a man at his wedding?
