"It is meant to. The pain helps me focus on not being a monster." "And that works? You've never killed anyone?" "... Please do not ask me that."

I found this off tumblr, so I’m not sure which issue it’s from, but it really makes me enjoy what’s been done with J Jonah Jameson by some writers. It’s fun to think of him as this caricature of an rear end in a top hat boss, but seeing the human touches is always a pleasure.

It’s fun to think of him as this caricature of an rear end in a top hat boss, but seeing the human touches is always a pleasure. This is good. One of my favorite JJJ moments is some guy representing a villain (can't remember if its Fisk or Osborn) tries to come in and and intimidate him into killing a story, and Jonah tells him to kick rocks. Jonah might have somewhat distorted ethics and principles, but he's at his best when they have him stand his ground.

One of the many reasons the Sam Raimi spider-man movies got Jonah perfectly is this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAfxBXAQCZM Jonah was in the middle of giving Peter poo poo, and is clearly terrified, but doesn't give him up to Goblin, even though Peter is right there. Although I will say, Robbie wasn't working at the Bugle yet when Peter started working freelance, therefore this is clearly not canon and furthermore

Also he went after X-Factor with both barrels for taking advantage of anti-mutant hysteria (and also for failing to capture Spider-Man, but he did state when I think Robbie called him out on it that he would have atacked them in the press anyway, and if they were going after that menace they wouldn't be hassling innocent mutants instead). El Gallinero Gros posted:I suspect it's from Zdarsky's new "Spidey throughout the decades" thing While it is Zdarsky, I think it's a Spectacular Annual he did. Although Life Story's got some great stuff in it, to be fair.

It’s not. Bagley is doing art on that book, and the latest issue is in the 70’s. I think there was a recent Spectacular Spider-Man Annual that had Allred doing a story.

I hope Zdarsky's run gets an omnibus. Maybe combine life story with Spectacular. Also I'd totally read an Allred Spider-Man run. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Apr 22, 2019 |

Speaking of which, Spider-Man: Life Story has so far been super good, stellar even. The way he handled the Clone Saga and teh Night Gwen Stacy died all at once was hilarious.

To be fair there's actually some decent reasons for that, as basically every character except Doc Ock is having their lives go right down the shitter in that universe as of the end of the 70's issue

Best old comic book ads are ads for RPG stuff(for comics released in the 80s onwards) and ads for various Army Men sets(for the stuff from the 50s through 70s)

A great JJJ story that doesn't come up often enough, I think, is Web of Spider-Man #52. The Chameleon has JJJ chained up: and he flashes back to a formative incident in his journalism career while, in the present day, he tries to escape.  I don't want to say too much about it, but it's really dang good.  I came across this issue entirely by accident as a kid, and it made me rethink the character I'd seen in all those digests and Marvel Tales reprints.
