Yesterday we met and The Thousand, and then thankfully it died, and we saw how the Kingpin treats his most loyal employees>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/76YM6FfA
>>154194370Get ready for kino and for JRJR art to continue to shine but in a new way. JMS's writing is some real evolution in terms of Peter's characterization.
>>154194375An iconic spread imo.
>>154194291Damn, that's an ass.
>>154194423This is the Peter I was missing.
>>154194414It's been getting there, but I don't think we've got to the point where Peter has the rep of Marvel's Nightwing yet
>>154194291JMS ASM. Home.
ooooh new character
>>154194479>Evolve or dieYeah the shading and inking suddenly getting like that foreshadows something pretty hard...>unless somebody makes them changeYeah I'm thinking that perhaps this is a theme for Spider-Man in general. Now what could give me that idea and who could possibly disagree with that? Some stupid people I assume.>>154194484Spidey is looking pretty tuff.
I believe I'm sharing Peter's trepidation
>>154194495FUCKING ENTER.>>154194507Hayai.....Matt and Stick-sensei...>>154194520Not the shoes!
>>154194546>>154194552Yeah um....JMS basically just said fuck the Thousand, I got a much more kino idea.
>>154194632Nightcrawlerbros...
>>154194632SINISTER ENTER>>154194546I think in ASM 32, your trepidation about these points and changes JMS is making, will be alleviated. Or it might not. I think 32 is a big issue that sells what he is putting down.
I like the personality they've been giving May lately
>>154194696This run is pretty bad with misremembering what the high school years actually had in them
>>154194729I give JMS shit for not doing enough with the supporting cast but he does write a good Aunt May
>>154194735Are you sure? Because all I can remember is just Gwen and that's it. Also it's weird how many times they make that mistake.Anyway, yeah American schools are like that.>>154194729It's a highlight of the run.>>154194746Booba.
>>154194754I think with what he is doing now and the shit he had to clean up, means he pared down the cast in order to shine focus on his changes and to keep himself focused on the character work he had to do initially. Also, I believe if what happens later didn't happen, then we would get it eventually.>>154194774This is a cool effect.
I know we're well past the point where writers would remember that Peter has already been a TA
>>154194820Would being a TA help with this credential?
I was going to be like "Woah this is really ahead of the curve"But no, Columbine was very recent
>>154194845Spider :)>>154194852America...>>154194859>>154194892>>154194902>>154194909Something about this sequence feels less preachy or shoehorned than other school shooting depictions in media. Is it just me? Also the colors of the smoke always wow me.
>>154194944I still don't know how I feel about the retcons that Peter had bullies that would physically beat him up in High School
>>154194920I'm not 100% sure it's possible to write a school shooting that isn't a bit hamfisted
>>154194944>The rage. The mindless rage that makes you feel you'd do anything to get back at the ones who bring you pain for no other reason than they think it's fun. That could have been me. That could be Joey someday.I wonder if all the school shooter jokes people make about early Peter are stemming from only people reading the OG issues. Because I think while perhaps Ditko Peter is a bit of a jerk sometimes it mostly happens when Ditko shows he is doing it to himself. And I think this point JMS is making here is apt and not something to like get mad about. I think a lot of anons like myself have encountered those situations where you feel like clocking someone and getting nuclear rage. But I think the course of this run and looking back on Peter's life we can see why that didn't happen. Ben and May were there. And Peter himself, looked out for himself and just walked away from that anger boiling over. I think this is a kino use of Peter's perspective now that this >>154194952 happens.
>>154194999Perhaps. I think for that time, and for how it is used, that is the best way it could be done. Spider-Man would intervene and we needed to show that he's just a kid who is doing this. Marvel is the world outside the window so it kinda needed to be addressed since schools were not off limits. If Peter is being written more realistically, he needs to change with the world and deal with more complex shit. Not too complex but at least in reality.
>>154194981This is another good one.
>>154195297>>154195324How fucking powerful is this guy? Fuark....
>>154194442Mmm, now THAT'S humor.
>>154194495it's time.
>>154195401>>154195412>>154195425Kino....>>154195440Slottkeks....don't stand a chance and their funny bones....suffer from osteoperosis....
What's Rocket Racer doing on the wrong side of the law?
>>154194546>it got smashedWell, that and a guy ate it.
>>154195612It's the 2000s now baby! If the writer wants to use a character for something they will show up, regardless of whether or not it makes any senseGibbon was supposed to be a "hero" now too
>>154195563>I'm in waste management.>>154195749Yeah um...movie reference.

>>154195425I remember reading this issue. I can't stand sports, but that's fucking good.
>>154195945Baseball anime aired a little while back that legit made me want to attend a game at some pointhttps://youtu.be/HDCnOnEp6kE
>>154195425lolmets
>that anon who thought Rhino was Kingpin's alter ego
>>154194754That was the monkey's paw of the JMS run: you lose the entire supporting cast save for May and MJ and in the case of May, JMS pretty much hard resets May back to ASM #400 and her telling Peter she knows he's Spiderman to give us the stories dealing with the fallout from that.
>>154195865>>154196102Yeah now we're getting to the Algernon part.
>>154196160>Kek what midwits. Surely one such fate won't happen to me....>>154196177>NOOOOOO
The End!Tomorrow we'll be spending time with Daredevil once again
>>154195439Oh yeah. This one is going to FUCK you up.
>>154196249Thanks MagisterTomorrow's Daredevil is the last time he gets to be fun before he gets Bendis'd
>>154196272Unlike the og story, i don't feel depressed after reading this
>>154196249Thanks for storytiming, Magister!
>>154196249>>154196132Thanks man
>>154196272>>154196327I haven't read the original story, but I have seen the Spongebob episode, so I get the gist
>>154196564Any thoughts about JMS so far or are you waiting until there is more?
>>154196644So far so good I guess?
>>154197190Cool.
>>154194291Aw yeah boys nowhere to go but up not counting the two times this run hits rock fucking bottom
>>154194920>Something about this sequence feels less preachy or shoehorned than other school shooting depictions in media.Because despite being a school shooting it doesn't really say anything about the subject it just is. Nobody dies, there's no pontificating about guns or right wing shitheadery
>>154196249Being the Rhino is pure pain
>>154197883Yeah the closest it comes is Peter saying kids shouldn't come to school wondering if they'll die and yeah both sides agree which kinda means the story is a bit shallow in that regard as the source of how and why that gun got in that hand is what the two sides debate about. But for a Spider-Man comic with only one issue, you can't go too far. And I don't know if we need an arc. That Web of 2 parter with the gun story is plenty.
>>154198038Uh Milligan forgot that Peter melted his suit off in their first fight but whatever. Sorry I don't follow Rhino too closely to remember if he did get a permanent version.
>>154194495>>154194507>>154194520>>154194546>>154194552Maybe I'm saying this a bit early since the real meat of it will be in a few storytimes, but I do not hate this stuff JMS putting down. Slott definitely made it more stupid in the future but this is pretty neat.
>>154194520>Random Marvel civilian:
>>154194632>>154194644Not the Deutschland...
>>154196249
>>154200902Now I need a Rhino edit
Reading bump
>>154194495ENTER!!!
>>154194495Funny how this surprises Peter when there has been clones of him running on walls and not triggering his spider-sense
>>154196272>>154198038It's going to take a while to get to but The Gauntlet has my favorite Rhino stories and possibly one of my favorite Spider-Man stories period in it.
>>154203191Well all the clones died off.
