Hulking out used to be triggered by rage. Now, thanks to the blood transfusion, it's triggered by ineffectiveness and failure.

I'm sure somewhere a journalist must have a bigger scoop than "a couple of green people fight each other but stop before anything of consequence happens", but I can't think what it would be

Shut up Spidey, it was a white lie because he doesn't want to work with you.

Anyway, how does he know about Iron Fist's partners? Three weeks Five minutes ago he had no idea who the guy was.

So the plan was to punch the helicopter hard enough that it couldn't fly any more, but not so hard that it fell out of the sky?

I guess that's what happens when NSM and NIF team up.

Colleen and Suwan will show up and lob some bricks into the fight. Kingpin has been learning to fight like Spider-Man, so he'll take a brick to the head and be knocked out instantly.

What kind of name is Mac Killgrave?

The sort of name bad drivers can tell is yours by looking at you.

Or does the driver already know who he is? Or is he just guessing? Internet suggests he's not actually called Mac, but they changed Mole Man's name so who knows.

So is Purple Man planning to kill Spiderman, control him for the rest of his life or just relying on him forgetting where this apartment is?

Reminder: Purple Man already knows he can't make someone kill against their will, he's been through this with Cage (he couldn't force him to kill Spider-Man).

It might depend on how weak-minded the person he's controlling is.

also, killgrave could just take the sheet off. it isn't secured in any way.

Killgrave has two powers:
1) Mind-control voice
2) Removing sheets

The sheet blocks both powers.

This is actually Spider-man's cunning plan to trick MJ into letting them fight.

It'll be the best idea he ever had, until he trips over Killgrave and rips open the hibernation blanket.

I guess the strip only stuck around because Stan Lee liked it.


It's nice to see how little has changed. In panels 1 and 2 his spider sense is warning him but by panel 3 he's forgotten.

So this giant screen that the underlings use to covertly communicate with the Kingpin is in immediate reach of (and probably also visible and audible from) the front door.

Love this comic.

Kingpin is in prison reading a book. The one on the screen must be an imposter!

Doc Ock seems to be faking it for some stupid plan, but Mole Man seemed totally sincere about it. I was legit annoyed when they pulled some bullshit to cancel the wedding.
