The really shocking thing here? He's using the same web-shooter he used to web up Kilgrave. So Spidey webbed up Kilgrave, switched the web to his other hand, and had to be reminded that he was still wearing the web-shooter he used less than a minute ago.

I must have seen this image dozens of times, and I've never noticed the people on the building in the background before. Either that guy in the dark green shirt has Spider-powers of his own, or he's about to take a pretty bad tumble. Maybe Reed Richards will save him?

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I was about to say how modern this was for referencing Matt's San Fran time in Waid's run, but this is probably referencing the first time DD did that back in the 80s or something... Actually, the 2013-ish newspaper comics being posted in the Comic Strip Thread right now just had an arc where Peter (not Spider-Man) webbed himself to the back of a truck for transportation from Vegas to San Francisco. There, Spider-Man assisted Daredevil in taking down the Kingpin. I guess Daredevil's still there. He has subsequently gotten on a commercial flight (as Spider-Man) to fly to Costa Verde to assist the Tarantula in a revolution.

I'm guessing it's a disgruntled restauranteer who has found superheroes fooling around in his dumpster for the fourth time this week, and threw a pot of old pea soup at them to run them off. Also, what the heck, Peter. You have bullet-dodging reflexes, a precognitive danger sense, and you were looking in the direction of wherever the sploop came from. Could have at least tried to block it from splashing in your wife's face.

About the film, Wikipedia: Sex Kittens Go to College posted:The film was also released in adult theaters with an additional 9-minute dream sequence added showcasing the robot, Sam Thinko, with striptease dancers. A beatnik chimpanzee is also prominently featured in the sequence. Seems unlikely that they'll go that route in the newspaper comic though.

And he wound up not using his other web shooter after being reminded. He switched what he was holding to the opposite hand, and used the same web-shooter he'd used less than a minute earlier.

I think I remember an issue during the Clone Saga when Ben Reilly was wearing the webs, and a depowered Peter was following him with a camera, and learning firsthand how ridiculously difficult it was for a baseline human to do the job he'd been pretending to do for over a decade.

I want to think that Kraven brought his tiger to Jameson's office and he had to wrestle it down to keep it from biting Betty Brant out on the newsfloor.

Well, it is 2015. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out the previous May, so perhaps there's a bit more awareness of Gwen Stacy amongst the strip readers than the baseline.

In Byrne's Spider-Man : Chapter One, the Bank Manger took the check and allowed Spidey to open an account. The manager told him that all he had to do prove his identity was to demonstrate one of his unique spider-abilities. The Chameleon subsequently disguised himself as Spider-Man with a few gadgets to replicate the powers, and withdrew all the money.
