I don't follow the Spider-Man strip regularly: Did Daredevil never move back to New York in this continuity?

>>209427
Apparently he commutes between the two regularly.

I'm digging these strips. I wonder if they're is a collection of them.

How thoughtful of him to provide for his minions.

>>210067
CLIFFHANGER!
Gonna be a long wait.

>>210524
>>210525
That's nice, but, uh... why didn't he just leave them at Alcatraz? On the dry part of it?

>>210529
It's easy to criticize, Anon.

>>210529
That would be the easy thing to do, silly.

>>210530
>>210531
My bad. I forgot superheroes don't take the easy way out.

>>210533
Also this is still Stan Lee writing this and he is all about the convoluted.

Plus if they had stopped to drop the scientists off, then they wouldn't get to shore at the same time as Kingpin.

>>210916
>I may look obese, but I'm pure muscle!

Dat trash talking. Gotta love it.

Perhaps you should have tried the laser cane again.

>>209420
Strip 4, panel 2, new reaction face.

I wonder if this is the beginning of a world tour for Spider-Man.

>>211704
Just... please tell me not all of Pete's former enemies have his phone number.

Looks like someone's travelling by web hammock attached to a truck again.

>>211765
With AT&T's new Friends, Family, & Former Enemies plan, he'd be a fool NOT to sign them up!

Well, he may fret about this every time he flies, but he always comes up with a different solution.

Maybe he should just ride on the outside of the plane while nobody's looking.

>>212256
He'd need an out of season jacket for that, it would get pretty cold out there.

Also, I'm pretty sure Spider-Man needs to breathe.

>>212169
Well damn, guess I just should get with the times.

Sitting next to annoying kids in the airplane, Spider-Man's only weakness!

>>212662
>How come you're not an Avenger?

Stan giving a little snark because Sony still has the rights?

!

I think keeping his trip a secret was out the window when he decided to fly as Spider-Man.

This fly as Spider-Man plan has caused so many problems.

>>209422

Someone please forgive me.

>>213859
Sorry dude, but you're no rape dollars.

>>213859

I think you should reconsider your comedic writing career plans.

>>213859
Maybe a little heavy on the Andrew Dice Clay.

He sure knows how to make an entrance.

>>214484
I'm slightly disappointed by the lack of firetruck-puns.

Wait, didn't he pay for the ticket?

>>215298

Did Spidey just kill the chopper's pilots?

>>215364
Nah, they have parachutes, they'll be okay.

>>215363
Oh Jonah. Stop stealing the spotlight.

When people say Spider-Man is "pulling a Deadpool" by talking to the Fourth Wall, didn't Spider-Man (and She-Hulk) do that both way before Deadpool ever existed?

Interesting that they're playing Tarantula as a hero here... I wonder if there's any chance it will stick.

spider senses, tingling.

Is there a bomb in the safe house or what.

>>215723
Rodrigo has betrayed the Tarantula to secure the release of his lady love. The safehouse is surrounded, primed for an ambush.

Oh no!

Is this the end for our heroes.

He can break those chains, that's the plan, right?

People aren't commenting much here, but I just wanted to say: Please don't stop. =)

>>216625
I actually enjoy newspaper Spiderman more than regular comic Spiderman. It's like a time capsule of a simpler, nicer time in comics.

What a twist!

I think I like this Tarantula more than the regular Merry Marvel version.

>>216834
Have to agree.

Peter: So MJ you want the moustache on or off?

Too bad.

> wearing other man's used, sweaty spandex thights

Eeeeewww

>>216852
FUCK YEAH!

>>216834
>I think I like this Tarantula more than the regular Merry Marvel version.

Well Alvarez died in the 80s in the books. I suspect he'd be a much more enjoyable character if dusted off today.

As for Jacinda... I hate her. She was a bad character to begin with, but the woefully godawful stuff between her and an increasingly OOC Shang sealed the deal. Just a bloody awful character. Frankly Latina women have tended to be pretty poor over at Marvel for a while (although I confess I'm biased against the current White Tiger because Casper Cole is My Man).

>>216854
>fan of Cole

BROOOTHER!

Yeah this new white tiger is kind of a bitch. She gave Reptil a bunch of shit for what she felt was turning his back on his latino roots. Both her and the teen Power Man are kind of lame.

>>216854
Clearly there needs to be a ban on Latina women named Tarantula.

Apparently it's just asking for trouble.

Reading this kinda makes me want Stan back on staff. Back to the days of retro pulp type goodness instead of event after event.

>>216870
Actually I'm fine with this. It's safety tucked away from the retardation of the main universe. Now if only they released more collections. I mean they aren't as nice as other newspaper comic collections (love the Dick Tracy ones) but still.

Plus we need this strip running. I'm totally gay for Spiderman.

>>216870
> Reading this kinda makes me want Stan back on staff

I am pretty sure that Stan hasn't written the strip in a while.

>>216883
well Roy Thomas scripts what Stan comes up with according to some sources. I'm more thinking his style and attitude more than his actual presence.

>>216886
I like Roy too. He has been keeping himself busy. I love his Invaders run (have the entire thing collected). I wish he had done something with Blazing Skull though. He writes novels for Marvel too. I've been meaning to pick up his Namor.

This comic strip is an enjoyable alternative to the main universe Spiderman. I didn't know about for years because our paper never carried it.

!

Finally catching up again, good stuff.

Oh

!

So, that fatass just walked to that secret door, and both Spidey and Tarantula did nothing to stop him?

>>217902
Well a lady did just shoot herself.

>>217904
And according to that page, Gen. Fatso was quite more shocked by her death than Spidey.

>>217908
Yes, but men like Gen Fatso, when they see their underlings die, have an instinctive "run like fuck" reflex that kicks in while the heroes do things like give a tiny shit about the loss of human life.

When a normal person hears someone yell "DUCK!" they look to see what the commotion is. Cowards like Fatso? They duck.

>>217912
I don't know, Spidey is seriously not giving a shit about her death, not even a tiny one

>>217913
No no, that's what a tiny fuck given looks like. Hands on hips, staring at a corpse, going "Welp, didn't expect her to be THAT stupid" so hard that you don't notice the villain getting away.

>>217932
I mean geez, everyone knows when you fire a plugged up gun it comically backfires.

Dang. If this thread isn't being updated any more, I've got some catching up to do.

Me miss a week? Never.

And thus Costa Verde prospered under Tarantula's kind and benevolent leadership.
Probably.

Everyone knows the rules don't apply to superheroes.

>>218918

The US’ll have him assassinated within the year and install its own puppet dictator in his place.

>>218917

Hooray! \o/

>>218921
>Jameson's Revenge
Triple J, please.

>>218917
>take mask off
>looks like everyone else in the country

>>218918
>And thus Costa Verde prospered under Tarantula's kind and benevolent leadership.

Ehhhh...

>>218941
Oh, that's just what they call what happens if you drink the water in Costa Verde.

Exploitable, or not? YOU DECIDE

He makes a compelling argument.

>>219176
Don't roll your eyes Peter, it's a legitimate concern, that sort of thing DOES happen to you a lot. Shit, even putting aside the mask, with the sort of life you lead it wouldn't surprise me if one day a villain hijacked your body and started living your life for you! And started dating a surprisingly hot and cute dwarf girl!

>>219177
I love Anna Maria, one of the few bright spots in that shambles. Hope she sticks with Otto no matter the outcome.

>>219178
>She has a hope of living

If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you right after she gets thrown off it.

>>219179
don't remind me. Green Gobpeter is going to do it I just know it.

>>219181
Ave Maria - Hitman: Blood Money + mp3

OH SHIT

SPIDER-MAN VS HITLER

FIGHT OF THE FUCKING CENTURY

Times like this are why you should wear two masks

>>219572
Jameson's argument is pretty damn easy to destroy. Cops usually at worst deal with common thugs, plus they do have an organization to back them up, unlike Spidey who most of the time is all by himself. Also, you know what the elite cops who deal with deep shit and poweful criminals do? They go masked in order to conceal their identities, duh.

>>219573
But the most common complaint about those masks is that they erode public trust and make it easier for people to view police as dehumanized.

Perhaps friendlier masks would work? A more cheerful color, like blue or red, and larger eyes (maybe use some sot of plexiglass or something so the larger eyes don't let people see their face).

>>219573
> and make it easier for people to view police as dehumanized.

I am pretty sure that's the intent, those elite forces don't want to be perceived as friendly cops

>>219803
But it extends beyond them. It's not just "the elite cops" that end up being more feared and distrusted.

This is Star Wars 101. When you start putting some of your men in scary helmets, that just makes it okay to kill the poor saps wearing dorky caps. When one part of your organization is significantly dehumanized, it causes ripples.

heated debate

Is it my imagination or does Spider Sense only kick in at really mundane times?

>>220694

It's not just you; Comics Curmudgeon points it out a lot, too.

Iron Man?

>>220785
LMD Stark I bet.

>>220786
> dat last panel

PARKER, MAH BOI

Is he going to make a fake Iron Man or something.

>>221150
Wait, is that Doc Ock at the end?

>>221155
Nah, that woman is way too tall for him.

I got you Iron Man for Christmas.
I hope you don't mind that it's not wrapped.

Oh how I miss "villain creator" JJJ from moderm comics. Be so much more fun if the Spock showdowm was the the Spider Corps vs Jonah's New York Defenders.

Also, how much money does it take to bribe Tony Stark?

>>221278
this is old time Stark, booze and women are equally good currency.

Am I the only one that thinks tracking someone by heartbeat is a little weird?

He doesn't look very happy with his job.

I can't wait for Iron Man to come in and save the day.

It's all about the pics.

dun dun dun

>>222012
Behold the power of TECHNOLOGY!!!

Shouldn't it be Ironbot?

Okay, I had to peek ahead at what was next, and WOW, I can't wait to see where this goes!

Oh, am I falling behind again?

Jameson is going full-on into mad supermvillany in this arc, and I am fucking loving it.

Someone's going to get hurt at this rate.

>>223137

Wild. I thought Tony was just making up that "going to be on the other side of the planet" story so he'd have a cover for Iron Man showing up. Guess not.

Why won't Brody just say "fuck off cunt, Im outta this bullshit"?

I guess Jameson is just too alpha.

Birth of a Super Villain.

10/10 best version of Jameson ever

This is going to turn out well.

I guess they had to remove the heartbeat tracker to install the face projector.

I am loving this crazy ass arc, but why in blue blazes does the armor jump from red to gold between strips¡?

>>224724
The colorist isn't the same for Sundays.

>>224725
I just thought it was an attempt to do the reflection effect gold has under certain light

I get the feeling this speed of sound thing is going to be important later on.

>>225247
> I'll get you to a safe spot
> THEN I'll rescue your pal!

Gravity must be feeling generous that day. And man, I guess the news van happened to be near, or else those two guys were swinging on that girder for quite a while.

>>224975
>Wha? My wife being the breadwinner even for a short period, while I find other work? Nosir, that simply won't do! I needs to wear the (spandex) pants in this relationship!

Damn, the guy commissioning the tiny-dick art was right on the money...

>>225286
Its old Peter, he had this kinda hang up from time to time. Still better than his current moods though. RIP Spock, little we knew ye.

>>225286

Man that guy was weird. Is he still around, doing his weird-ass thing?

That poor sculpture.

>>225516
Yup, gravity totally did not wish to be a dick to NY that day.

>>225854

Oh, fuck off, Jonah, you've been pretty much trying to murder him from the start and NOW you realize that might have been wrong?

Oh no!

>>226682

Suddenly seeing the current Iron Man design in the middle of this gave me whiplash.

"It's a much better idea than giving any of my own employees one of those!"

>>226682
Uuuuuuh exactly how did Spidey's "web net" slow them down?

>>226735
Are you questioning Stan "The Man" Lee?

>>226735
Every force exerts an equal and opposite force.
Therefore the force of spidey shooting all that webbing acted as a retro rocket to slow them down.

>>226749
But they were allegedly going at near the speed of sound. The force needed to slow down Spidey, JJ, and the armor in a significant way would be ridiculous for such a small device.

Of course, physics have been working wonkly all the way thorough the arc, so that really isn't a surprise.

>>226754
And by the arc, you mean all of comic books forever, right?

I'm still not sure why you would lend him your armour in the first place.
