Yesterday we attended Karen Page's funeral, and Peter Parker tacked a whole bevy of normal high school problems>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/ySYbcRjG
So Man-Thing got some backstory since last time I checked in
HmmSome things don't feel quite right here
>>153589070What is a World Trade Center?
>>153589090That's at least three times the towers have been attacked in this storytime. Did they know?
>>153589318That they are easily identified targets? Even before 9/11 there was a bombing.
So that was...So that happenedOr did it?
Oh god it's Y2KLord help us
>>153589956I can only assume DeMatteis was more hashish than man when he wrote that.
>>153590090Frank Cho hears you loud and clear, May.
Gee, if only there were more teenage superheroes to handle situations with such grace and maturity
Wasn't this the plot of a recentish Spider-event?
>>153590345I bet it's Aunt May
>>153590399I dunno, Question Marcy's had it out for him for ages.
Done for today!I've never minded these MJ side dramas, early 300s Amazing were good for that
>>153590639Thanks for storytiming, Magister!
>>153590639Thanks Magister. It's been a while but I think this side plot builds to something dumb. I won't spoil the dumb, but it is dumb
>>153589070>For the Spider-Man Who Has Everything
>>153588956I’m honestly confused as to why Peter Parker spider-man was the other book to survive the purge. If they weren’t going to honor its 100th issue why not just keep spectacular going?
>>153589590>says he doesn't want to be rude>proceeds to be rudeGee Peter why don't you tell him he's an ugly motherfucker with no dick while you're at it?
>>153590212I swear someone opened up paint and put those dots on Spider-Man's mask because there's no way that was printed.
>>153590624Mattie is taking everything from Peter, even one of his speech balloons.
>>153589970Whoever decided that hairstyle needs to be shot.>>153590455Holy.....Also where is Aunt May looking in 3rd panel? Kek.
>>153590502Cat wasn't there for the Cousin Kristy stuff, huh?
>>153590204Feh. Jolt did the fangirl thing earlier and better. She wore the hairstyle better, too.
>>153592020I wonder if Jolt was actually influential, or just a result of stock traits. I've heard other characters compared to her as well.
>>153589956Someone really liked playing with computer graphics and image editing effects for this story
>>153589315So, how long till we are done with these assholes? I don't care if we have a story ti wipe them out, or if someone just forgets about them. I just want this over.
>>153592734I think this is one of if not their last appearance. They show up a few more times in Spider-Girl but for mainline comics this is it
>>153589151Oh, this is a sequel to JDM/Sharp Man-Thing
>>153590639Can someone spoil me what those phone calls were all about?
>>153590677No parents.
>>153594648it's another stalker
>>153597122How many of them are there?
>>153590691Short answer, Howard Mackie is a super quisling willing to do whatever editorial demanded let alone stomach dealing with Byrne raping the franchise like the chick in Irreversible, because Mackie felt guilty over not standing up for Byrne on WCA when DeFalco vetoed Age of Apocalypse: But With Kang, which was going to be how Byrne planned on ending his Scarlet Witch saga.Long answer, Mackie found out he had potentially terminal cancer in the middle of 1998. DeFalco was supposed to stay around and tard wrangle Byrne but knowing Mackie would lose his health insurance if his book got axes (as Marvel only offered it to writers who wrote multiple books), offered to give up his spot to Mackie in exchange for Spider Girl being launched; a big thing as DeFalco fundamentally disagreed with what everything Byrne and Bob Harras wanted to do with Spiderman, hence why Spider Girl ignored Gathering of the Five and The Final Chapter and played out as a containment zone for DeFalco's plans for the franchise as far as what would happen if Byrne never happened.Because of this, Mackie kept his insurance and was able to beat cancer. But at the cost of his reputation as his quisling nature made him a bitch boy to Byrne and Harras's bullshit
>>153598624How did Marvel manage to ever succeed?
