Peter's deadeyed stare as he pulls Rocket back into the motel room, and father and son flexing together were great too.

Rocket convincing Peter they hadn't just murdered Ronan and stuffed his (possibly) dismembered corpse into Rocket's ship were also highlights. God I loved that entire storyline.

The appearance of Curt Connors and The Hulk just being a precursor to the return of The Serpent Society would be right up this beautiful strip's alley.

I still love the idea that the Bugle headline of "THE CITY IS SAFE!" is purely in reference to JJJ now being the Publisher of the Bugle again.

If Spider-man was willing to commit one crime and make a fake ID, he could get out of so many troubles. But if he commits even one crime, he's basically Venom

There's that one issue of Spider-Man and the X-Men when he explains why he couldn't monetize his powers without exposing his identity, and gets all lovely when the students start explaining how he could have set up shell companies and trusts to make money without exposing his family :laugh:

You know I'm just kinda half-hoping that Banner's blood saves Connor AND Connor's arm grows back and... that's it. No side-effects, no drama, he's just whole and happy and then the Parkers and Banner wander off to some new adventure :shobon:

It isn't even wish-fulfillment fantasy, they have a cute dynamic where both lead crazy lives and find love in a mutual need for domestication.

Yeah, plus years (decades!) of having been friends, then boyfriend/girlfriend and finally marriage. MJ was there for so much of what Peter went through, and her sticking around to support Peter after Gwen's death was a huge thing considering her character before then was "ditzy party girl".

Yes I'm still angry about that dumb retcon, especially since it was handled in such a ham-handed way.

Who would have thought, all this time Banner was looking for a cure and it turns out all he needed was the blood of a complete gently caress-up.

I think there was that Peter David written "final" Hulk issue where the Earth millions of years in the future has become an inhospitable wasteland populated only by giant cockroaches and the Hulk. Every so often Banner gets to come out and wish for death, but every time it looks like he might die the Hulk will return.

At the very end, Banner suffers a lethal heart attack but as he starts to collapse to the ground he changes back to the Hulk, who just grunts and walks away with a final line something along the lines of,"And now there would only be the Hulk."

Jerusalem

I still love that the original reason for Banner deciding he had no choice but to turn into the Hulk was because Spidey was down for the count. But Spider-Man was already up and chatting to the Doctor before Bruce even tried and failed to become the Hulk, and now he's apparently so fine that he's catching him in mid-air to save him.

Wasn't there a major storyline about how desperately proud of his son he was, because he was an All-American boy AND an astronaut and THAT is the type of person that people should be celebrating, not some rear end in a top hat in a mask who got weird powers that they didn't even earn through hard work or something?

I know his son ended up becoming a kind of monster because of some moon rock they found, and that muddied the waters even more because Spidey was the one who took him down and helped him recover, and then his son became a driver for Captain America? Which REALLY irritated Jonah, if I remember right.
