Stuff about Spidey's time in the spotlight...Yikes! Stuff about Spidey's time in the spotlight (I'm hoping they're not forgetting Maxie Shiffman) before the death of Uncle Ben means a heck of a lot more things to add the the SMURF code for Amazing Fantasy #15.<BR/><BR/>000.500 gets pimped out much like Mario does in Nintendo games.<BR/><BR/>I still have to pick up Amazing #200 to get those bits put in there as well, though I did get Amazing #38 (Vol. 2) with the Aunt May/Uncle Ben argument, so I can put those page numbers in for the next update.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>SMURF ramblings aside, I find untold tales fun when they're done with good continuity and observance. The one I'm having trouble stomaching are the scenes with Cap punching out Hulk in the Fallen Son: Spider-Man one-shot.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Besides it being crack, Spidey's recalling this is as the 1st or 2nd time he's fought the Hulk, but...<BR/><BR/>...I believe the 1st time was when he was dealing with the Goblin & The Enforcers and he gave Hulkie a punch to the face to show him his own power, albeit it didn't do much. It would be a bit odd to make those statements to the Hulk after facing him once, so 1st time...nerp...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Then there is Amazing Spider-Man Annual #3, where Cap and the Avengers need to get a reference on Spidey from DD...so if Cap had already teamed with Spidey against Hulk, then why would he need a reference? Thus, 2nd time...nerp...<BR/><BR/>So at best, that flashback was the 3rd time? Will it even fit good? I doubt it, though I haven't buckled down to check what Hulk and the Avengers were doing at this point. I'm trying to figure out some Clone Saga stuff, but I'm trying to figure out specifically when Christmas took place, so I'm fixing to get the Marvel Holiday Special of that year and see what all characters are doing. There's a few things I'm scratching my head over despite this being the most tight-knit continuity time in the 90's.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I might be nitpicking, but ehhh, someone's gotta do it. :)Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494400691790004823noreply@blogger.com
