Interesting to think of the spider-sense as something invasive and unwanted. Namor describes it as "torment". Though dramatic, Spidey doesn't dispute it. I imagine the spider-sense is confused too when it goes for a dive in the ocean (ASM #215)
There's a loss of normalcy when loved ones know Peter's secret identity. Before, he simply disappeared as was his habit, but now there's context, and with it fear. It's easy to understand why he keeps his secrets to protect them from worry (ASM, V2, #44)
Trapster fights always crack me up. Maybe the "spider" in Spider-Man just has a weakness for glue traps. Also, he will always be Paste Pot Pete. As Peter Parker will tell you, the first name you come up with is the one that "sticks"
Sort of shows how improv and stand-up comedy are related but not necessarily the same skill. The bitterness at the end... (PP:SSM #4)
Really digging these wonderful watercolor pieces by Alex Maleev, especially with how he's able to capture the feeling of weather, whether it's a rainy day or the blazing summer. Beautiful!
The Spot having to collect his "spots" after a fight makes me love his character even more. There aren't many antagonists with post-fight chores (PP:SSM #100)
I find it interesting when there are problems in production, because it gives a little insight into the process. It also "illustrates" how rushing can affect the product, like Reed's beard, which looks like it was added late in the process (FNSM #13)
I'm of the mind that John Byrne was a key figure in the transition from the more muscular Romita-style Spider-Man to the gracile body type that's most popular today. I'm totally in love w/ this action sequence. It was ahead of its time (PP:SSM #58)
I'm pretty sure all these words of wisdom are worth memorializing if you should ever find yourself being a Spider-Person. And I'd wager the last one pertains to a certain black alien costume... (Spider-Men #5)
Not sure what's going on here other than Aunt May needs a boyfriend (SM: Fear Itself, 1992)
