Amazing Spider-Man Newspaper strip Appreciation Thread

[Miles To Go]

Why is Peter's spider-sense practically non-existent in this strip sometimes? They've never had a built-in explanation for why that is.

And Curt's suddenly blonde now?

[Miles To Go]

Peter and MJ have a point Curt...you keep insisting on giving yourself the exact same treatments, and it leads to the same result every time....maybe he's acting this way now out of a self-destructive habits?

[Miles To Go]

So it looks like instead of spending time with his wife before her tour resumes, Peter is probably going to accept Curt's offer to join him in the Everglades for the new few days as his lab assistant making sure he doesn't go and turn himself into the Lizard

[Miles To Go]

Hmm, there's a twist, Peter wants no part of Curt's experiments, so who has to persuade him? Selfless MJ.

[Miles To Go]

Hmm, looks like MJ is indicating she wants to join Peter and Curt in the Everglades. Guess she really doesn't want to spend the next two days doing nothing...let's just hope the Lizard doesn't start crushing on her like every villain does and wants to make her his queen to fill the void left by Martha..that is, if Peter lets her come along.

[Miles To Go]

Seems Peter's got no choice...MJ is going with them. Curt also reveals Martha was a red head in this continuity, which can only mean one thing...when he becomes The Lizard, he's going to be infatuated with MJ!

[Miles To Go]

Did some digging and apparently Lizard being infatuated with MJ was a plot point when he was last used in the strip. Also Curt's wife was called Lydia in this reality, and he mistook MJ for her

[Miles To Go]

So MJ is off for a wander around the swamp with Peter's camera while her hubby and Curt work on perfecting the serum that can hold back Connor's Lizard transformations.

MJ's quite a skilled photographer in the strip, she's taken some photos of Peter's battles in the past (once with Tarantula, another with Sabretooth), and Peter's often encouraged her to sell them, but she persists in wanting to be more known as an actress.

[Miles To Go]

MJ flees from a looming alligator, and runs right into the grip of a giant python!

Salute to Uncle Stan.
it would be great if the daily strip could get a high profile writer/artist team someday.

[Miles To Go]

Woo, this is getting pretty dark, with the python choking MJ out. Someone in the shadows brandishing a knife is thinking of saving her, but worries about revealing himself.

Why? Is he nude?

Why? Is he nude?

This strip isn't on page 3 of The Sun (which usually does women anyway)

This strip isn't on page 3 of The S** (which usually does women anyway)

Fixed it for you

[Miles To Go]

Yikes, this is getting dark, now we have an actual decapitation (the python fortunately)
