Spidey sitting in for me as commentator for this set of trades review!



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Hello comic lovers of all ages,                                                                                                                  Or maybe I will say to be more precise of any age, ah who am I kidding the one important thing most that I know about comics is they are meant for everyone and it doesn't matter how you see the world as not being able to be understanding of you as a person that truly makes you right one hundred percent of the time,  it just matters that we all understand we are all capable of making mistakes in life.  We all should be responsible enough to understand that WE as HUMANS are ALL Different from each other when we are facing each new day of adventures but that is not to be the topic of this very blog but I will get around to talking about all of that stuff in a whole other entry. Last weekend starting on Sunday early into Monday morning on the 15th, I had first noticed that I couldn't hear in my left ear so much. So I went looking on my tablet for answers for what is causing an sense of hearing loss in one ear, I had at first thought maybe it's cause could be related to the ongoing worldwide pandemic called Covid-19 and even though I know that I haven't had any such symptoms of Covid-19 itself it was my only guess that was the result of why my left ear was hurting so much. I had gotten in touch with my doctor and just found out that it was simply caused by not having currently any free unstructured breathing areas of late and has caused my allergies to fully drain into my inner ear.                                                                                                                                                        Today on my last day of being 480 years old I am one of many things finally getting around to finishing the two comic trades seen between Spider-Man's outstretched arms.  The one under his right arm called Mary Jane SPIDER-MAN FACE IT, TIGER... YOU JUST HIT THE JACKPOT! I have had since twenty ten,  the one called Epic Collection the AMAZING Spider-Man The Goblin's Last Stand trade I got back this past January at my local comic shop called Adventures Underground and the main reason why I got this trade was is because in it has my birth month of March nineteen seventy-two in it. So now I know that you might say that I am a fantastic bit of creativity crazy but from here on out I believe that it's only practically possible for Pet...I  mean for Spidey to share the truth about these trades... so go ahead web head the floor is of course yours now!                     "Seems to me my goofy pal of comic enrichment Kingdom of funny pages of love, that we must have a challenge of you keeping the knowledge of surprising people a journey of successful business sercets to the test?, Only after I help you with this really sticky stuff of rewarding your adventurous reading audience with inspirational darlings of doings..."            "Look I wasn't trying to spoil the fun of reading or make it a conversation about serious secrets being revealed trust me...." Spidey lets go of THE GOBLIN'S LAST STAND EPIC COLLECTION  TRADE and aims his hand at me.... "Oh N...."                                                        "OK I do promise you all that I really am NOT a bad guy of having people love my fictional exploits!However, I think it's best that you make up your own minds of what it is that you like and don't let this nerdy fanboy be your only influencing of whatever you DO Love..., oh and don't worry the webbing on his mouth will dissolve itself long before we are even done with this whole review. So this is more or less about when I had first met both my true love Gwen Stacey and my lot later Bessie friend and my as you all know her my wife Mary Jane Watson,  when I met Gwen was a just after entering Empire State University college by way of my old hating fan of me as Peter Parker Mister Eugene Flash Thompson during a time when I was facing my mystery foe (not really but till then I didn't know it was Otto Octavius aka known as Doctor Ock) being known as The Master Planner who was after some radioactive isotopes that I also realized that I needed to save my dear loving only relative May Parker who is my anut. It all happened in a three part arc of my ongoing title of Amazing Spider-Man in issues thirty one to thirty three in nineteen sixty six of January (with a date of December on the cover 


to March of that same year. The plot was completely conceived by my artistic daddy Steve Ditko and Scripted by my wordsman daddy Stan Lee. As to what had been happening with Gwendolyn and I oh webbed mouth here, can honestly only guess? is what I am saying. As to when Mary Jane Watson first appeared was by dialogue was when I was first facing a Russian Jungle lad known as Kraven the hunter in issue fifteen.  Then while I was fighting for my very existence against ten issues later issue twenty five my two favorite gals Betty Brant whom I knew as a secretary of the man on the spider-slayer robot out to do me in Jonah Jameson whom I have still considered a strategic danger at times because I am always getting away with selling self photographs of myself to him for money,  and my high school friend Liz Allen met MJ before I ever did... but it's because of how my loving anut gushed on about myself alongside Mary Jane that kept us so desperately not wanting to meet each other...(or so I very much thought so at the time). Everything came crashing down to me meeting Mary Jane after of course saving Jameson's space astronaut son in Amazing Spider-Man #42, when her full reveal was known to not only me as Peter Parker but the world at large too with this 

      final page seen here, which was published in November of 1966 but more likely in December of that year as to how the books came out. Stan now had me having a very great time in the emotional department of my ongoing feelings with this qartart of girls after my heart and soul when I wasn't out playing up being the hero when I wasn't gonna have a choice any oh how!                                                                                                                       A very interesting thing had happened in the early spring time of nineteen sixty six and whatever it was truly about I too will admit to never knowing what was the cause for my two creative fathers to be in war with each other for their lifetimes... and my illustrating papa's last actual story  was in this very issue 
So long Steve Ditko, and the next month came in my most popular daddy in the artistic relam of things for many decades of time, everyone say hello to John Romita with the issue seen here     

 in the summer time according to the date on the book itself. My writing father Stan Lee had been building up to a specific story point of where I was facing my foe the Green Goblin and up until this point only my adversities the aforementioned Doc Ock may of known who I was under my mask and my boss of "Jolly" Jonah Jameson of the daily bugle but at the time neither of them believed it was possible? In issue thrity nine Stan wanted my ongoing rivalry with the Green Goblin to be that we know each other's deepest secrets and had wanted John Romita to do his best rendering of Steve's style for the first few issues he would work on,  and in a small way it did prove to benefit the book but Romita just couldn't resist putting his stuff in as well.                                                                                        Eventually the qartart of ladies was reduced to mainly Gwen and Mary Jane by Stan he had Betty Brant start showing interest in news reporter Ned Leeds and Liz Allen was mostly off helping her family as both I and Gwen grew closer as friends while Mary Jane was on again off again between Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn the son of the Green Goblin's  true self Norman Osborn. When I had reached issue fifty of my title I had decided for like the fourth time in my heart to throw in the towel from being Spider-Man, was the first time Matt here knows of Gwen being illustrated by John Romita but he in fact had first drawn her when Stan Lee was fleshing out the lovers banter and blossoming between Gwen and Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man # 47 from 1967 for           

 who really loves Peter Parker more. Then in issue fifty four we meet Gwen's father George Stacey and newspaper editor Joe Robert "Robbie" Robertson whom as far we know as fans of Robbie have always had a hint he might know who I am but never stated as far as I can gather... As for George Stacey it's summarized that even though at one point I had thought I lost my powers and on Gwen's birthday told her and Harry Osborn                 

and Mary Jane that I really was Spider-Man.... just a few issues later when I was trying save his life from when he saved a child from a chimney falling on him during a fight I had with Doc Ock George told me he had known for a while who I was and to make sure Gwen was always safe. 
        Gwen blamed Spider-Man for her father's death without knowing the truth at all of what really was the cause. She after that point went to go see her father's brother Arthur in London. Then came back to New York while I was as Peter assigned to take photographs in the Savage Land where Jonah Jameson said she should tag along.                    We pick up right after that very long adventure with Amazing Spider-Man # 105 with Stan Lee recently returning as the writer of his beloved character Spider-Man,  Stan took time away from the series since he had been making the Marvel Universe waaaay back in nineteen sixty one when he was tasked by then editor in chief Martin Goodman to come up with something that could rival the competition across the street from them, who had a comic titled 
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.  This here after a lot of thought about it, here's what Stan Lee and Jack Kirby put out     

to do the most important thing ever starting something new and dangerous to DC comics or was it still National Comics back then I don't know? Stan Lee had written Spider-Man since the last issue of Amazing Fanstany # 15 from August of nineteen sixty two to Amazing Spider-Man # 100 when he himself was editing for four months while writer Roy Thomas wrote issues ASM # 101-104. Stan started February 1972 with the Amazing Spider-Man # 105 with the title of "THE SPIDER-SLAYER!" The story begins with me changing into my play clothing as I'm overlooking the city and taking photos to the Bugle where I see Randy Robertson leading a protest at the entrance of very place I am heading for. As I get closer to hear what was being said I see him talking about why he is leading this very protest with his own father Joe Robbie Robertson and luckily I see that for a moment I am not needed but then it happens that Jonah Jameson arrives and after what I heard from the younger Robertson about why he and his friends are there Jameson tells him things from his view point of things and that's when I know my help is truly appreciated.                                                                                                                                                  I have only heard that in 2021 many such subjects as racism is overwhelming still considered a high and unknowable thing to be spoken of. What I will say is most of Stan's last few issues of my ongoing adventures besides dealing with fantastic fitness experience for me, he hit on a variety of every day events that gives you a chance to explore real understanding of how to share your life experiences in enrichment thinking before you may end up inside of a impossible problematic solution with the current way of life is going right now... just remember this, being caring and loving matter more than everything else and as Stan used to say 'Nuff Said!' Jameson of course promises to do me in like he honestly always does and when he does I'm finding myself completely dealing with a huge mechanical spider slayer. In the very next issue Jameson admits in public that he and Spencer Smythe the originator of many such machines were working together. When I get a chance to be my civil self of  Mr. Parker my gal Gwendolyn and I go see my high school bully Flash is starting to readjust to normal every day living after coming back 

      from his tour of military service. Within the opening Salvo of issue 107, I found myself struggling 

   with all of my inner spiritaul strength and spider strength to get away from Smythe's latest Spider killing machine. After I've been caught it seems that Gwendolyn on her own tries to see if her and I could still help our pal Flash when he is taken into custody in front of her. Gwendolyn and I find ourselves in heap of trouble when we are trying to help Flash Thompson while he is his way of a debriefing of his actions during his tour of service when he was in Nam. While I help Flash as Spidey I happened to get help from another hero of the ever growing  Marvel Universe from both Stan's and Steve's imaginations whom were his creators as well as mine, he happens to be known as the sorcerer supreme of the mystical arts 
known better as Doctor Strange. The very important thing that happens in this very issue is that the newest character added to Spidey supporting cast from last issue is given a full name and later on is Flash's girlfriend later on her name is Sha Shan. Within the opening of issue #110, I am trying not to force my mind or heart to be believing that my pal Flash Thompson has affection for my girlfriend Gwendolyn when I get even madder and almost drop my greatest money making device when a hand stops it short of falling all the way to the pavement below. It turns out that the hand belongs to a man named Martin Blank. We have a few moments of personal reflection if only for it leading anywhere is still up for debate I'm guessing! When I get back to my apartment that I share with Harry Osborn I collapse from exhausted from my time of playing hero. After trying to get in touch with my Aunt May by a phone call, I go looking for her. Whilst swinging through the city I come across Mr. Blank in what he calls himself the Gibbon. We get into fight after he claims that he wants us to be partners or for those of you not in the knowledge of comic lore he wants to be my Robin while I appear to be a very broke Batman.... 
It turns out that issue Amazing Spider-Man#110 was Stan's very last issue of writing about my monthly adventures. Stan had moved from New York to Los Angeles California around this given time but not to worry my beloved followers, even though Stan wasn't with me anymore I had a new wordsman for long while anyway,  his name is Gerry Conway who is  only nineteen years of age when he wrote the book seen here 

   as his first Amazing Spider-Man story. So I sorta tell you that I really find it fascinating that my old foe Kraven the hunter is talking to the Gibbon about his last engagement with yours truly,  which was Amazing Spider-Man #104 Ah well Marvel will get to it eventually I think and guess as to when and what is it's volume number gonna be...you're just like me have to wait!, Kraven takes the poor man known as Martin Blank and promises him a get back scheme at me, when I use my efforts and work resources to still find my Aunt. In the next issue I finally decide that it's not worth my time to be Spider-Man I just wanna be like a lot young people my age/(your age) 18 to 19 roughly.            
In issues Amazing Spider-Man # 113-115 I find myself in the middle of a Gang War between my pudgy foe Doctor Ock and a man who is known as Hammer Head and also some famous Sesame Street pals as henchmen with the initials "B and E" if you're interested in children programming going to as they say in Star Wars to the Dark side of life. During the craziness between the three of us I as Spidey have come to find out that Aunt May is definitely wanting to be with Otto Octavius but I for the life of me can't imagine why? Even when it comes to me trying to figure it out as her nephew I am lost beyond lost. In the real world it's getting very close to election time of nineteen Seventy-two, so the creativeness of Marvel comics will spare no one of either side of the plotical intriguing debate a moment to remember to vote, in issues #116-118 (which might be around September to November possibly?) Gerry Conway only did additional dialogue for issue 116 while having a very special guest writer with him on this highly charged subject matter. Also be aware that you will see which supportive cast members of my friends are like during an election year.  In Amazing Spider-Man #116 on the opening splash page I am watching two billboard workers hanging up a voting board for our political candidate for mayor who happens to be Richard Raleigh   

whom is running against George McGovern who is running in 

   the real world as a democratic candidate. All of a sudden a huge hand smashes through their hard laboring of work, it's a very interesting giant of a man who I will admit to be thinking of him as a robot in my head as I go and save the billboard workers from their falling scaffold they are on while I also try fighting said giant whom calls himself the Smasher. Once I am Peter Parker again I run into my roommate Harry Osborn and his gal Mary Jane Watson who happens to give me a supportive button of the upcoming hopeful new mayor Richard Raleigh. At one of the many hotels on East side Raleigh was going to be making a speech to his voters both old and young when my spider sense lets me know of immediate doom and not to bringing my suit out instead, I take out a power junction to help me keep myself hidden while I'm dealing with the problematic situation of a collapsing ceiling... in the very next issue I almost have a scary surprise  but let us work our way to that venture as I share of my ongoing activities during "THE DEADLY DESIGNS OF THE DISRUPTOR!" the title of Amazing Spider-Man#117. As this very issue opens up I am trying to save every supportive voters of the newest running candidate for the upcoming mayor Richard Raleigh, while at a hotel on the East side as I'm using my tensile thin creation of webbing to stop the ceiling from hurting them for as long as I can. Unfortunately it starts to fall anyway so I'm using what is left of my webbing to keeping my sercet identity since I did this as my civilian self Peter Parker. Later I try to focus on finding the guy whom I thought was a huge robot when I see a penthouse having a gangster party happening and after dealing with that gate crashed party I give myself a chance to check in with my aunt who is still deciding to stay with Otto Octavius for what she believes is right. After that chat with my Aunt, Harry Osborn and I went to meet up with our gals his being Mary Jane and mine of course is Gwen at a new campaign gathering that Richard Raleigh is having a youth rally in Manhattan. When an unmarked limousine comes through the crowd I'm able to sneak away into a alley to hopefully become helpful in the chaotic whatever is going to benefit the many innocent voters who want to share their thoughts and opinions with each other after this public gathering, when the leader of this group of anti party poppers starts gunning and tear gasing them down. He by the way calls himself the DISRUPTOR! He makes his final attempt at getting to the upcoming mayor by attacking someone who he may know at the Bugle....  "Mmmpph!, ahh it's seems that it truthful about your webbing Spidey"                                      "Oh your helping me be a true show off huh?, well I guess that it dissolves in only a few hours or minutes really depends upon how much cement that I put into my formula each time I am making a new batch for my fighting off the baddies...."                                               "Before you may think of spraying me with more of your webbing fluid I want you to remember to share your secret from this very issue before you tell the audience of what  will happen to Miss Stacey in a few issues from now? As if the real comic audience doesn't already know about what I am saying..."                                                                              "Oh you mean my hint of when Gwen had almost found out about                                             

my sercet of who I am? when I had saved every voter in that east side hotel,  and in the end would have been my fault, my fault because of not catching a linging spider web on my coat. If only I would have I just wonder what might be!"                                                      "Ah all I want to say here is that I as your co-host here is that when this was originallypublished I was just a few if not a couple of months old... I am just saying!" 
             "Let's stop for the moment with the fourth wall breaking for a while ok?... or I will have to admit that your pretty adventurous as a villain already Matt!" I metaphorically run my right hand of my mouth as if to satisfy my fellow commentator.                                  In the opening of issue Amazing Spider-Man #118 we see that the robot guy if that is what he really is, is at the Daily Bugle doing his best to kill the paper's editor Robbie Robertson. I happened to have followed him there an tried fighting the oversized brute  as much as a hero doing his duty could potentially do...only to find out he takes off like he did when he broke those billboards not so long ago. So since for the time being I have a clue about what is going on but am still connecting said dots between him and that DISRUPTOR fellow I decide to really help Gwen,Harry and Mary Jane out with their mobile campaigning for Raleigh.  Out of no where that man monster or robotic dude trashed our rally van, I find cover and do my heroism duties yet again by chasing him. He does finally lead me to the DISRUPTOR guy, I notice that the robotic man is just a man after again rough houing with him and the DISRUPTOR...when I find out who the robotic man is I do finally see that everyone can lose everything no matter what your plotical movtaitions are or were. Take heed of yourself and your surroundings of choice and remember sometimes when your making a choice for the country you can honestly hurt each other as well.                                                                                                                                                       From one man made monster last issue to my facing the strongest mortal literally after trying to still find out more from Westchester New York where my Aunt May is still staying with Otto Octavius and why I may have a telegram that explains everything.  In Amazing Spider-Man #119, I have read a as I mentioned a telegram for May Parker from someone named Jean Pierre Rimbaud who resides in Montreal, Quebec. As I get lost in my thoughts on how to get some dough I walk pass a store's television display and on it was the Incredible Hulk I have my answer for money woes and head to the Bugle and promise my boss Jameson pictures of the Hulk wasting my heroic self (even though at the time he just let his animosity and rage fill his train of thoughtfulness), of ol web head! Once in Canada before getting into giving myself a gamma raged death sentence with ol Greenskin, I am as Parker trying to get in touch with Mister Rimbaud through his secretary named Miss Delon. Then in a hotel I find the Hulk's greatest human foe outside of himself, the man known as Brigadier General "Thunderbolt" Ross. Whom at this very moment is planning his very next military movement against the monster while in Canada. The Canadian military service won't let me join in on this highly charged mission to try and capture the haunted monster known as the Hulk, so being impulsive I just jump into the army truck to prove that I'm going to get those pix for Jameson no matter what stands in my way. The army unfortunately does find it's intended target and he makes his point of wanting to be left alone by dealing with the problematic situation of the lead truck by tossing it aside as he consistently think of it as well a toy to play with. It gives me a chance to don the threads that you have all known me for, and then our showdown between Hulk and Spidey beings!
 The Hulk is stunned for a brief minute by my smack to his rib cage, he makes very quick work of smashing the combined armed forces of both the United States and Canadian military then he takes off to be like he always says to be left simply alone. Yet I can't shake the feeling that the monster is still full of anger then he just takes another slam at getting rid of that emotional stance by taking out a dam! 
At the opening of issue Amazing Spider-Man #120, the Hulk is tossing a boulder with yours truly on it out of the dam that he was using to subside his raging state from dealing with a tiring human being known as Thunderbolt Ross who has never understood the problems of a scienist named Bruce Banner. The Hulk creates a tidal wave to get away from the craziness of the human species while the very same humans are what I need to stay sane, even when I get a call from my girlfriend Gwendolyn Stacy from New York to come home because of my friend Harry Osborn's problems. I still have something that I really have to deal with here in Montreal Quebec relating to my anut. When I try to get answers about the telegram sent to May I can honestly say my second encounter with Greenskin was great fun...because Mister Rimbaud is killed by an unknown Assassin!         "Ummm Spidey, are you so sure that you are able to talk about the next issue of your own title...because of how we as the comic public know about how like you're marriage to Mary Jane has been spat on as a rusted out old fashioned washboard by Marvel comics editorial department which is for certain very...."                                                                             "Let me take a guess a very certain kind of  Dirty Pool of Ill responsibly on the management of the company's wanting something that you as comic loving fan bases don't wish of and beyond anything else it's enforced!, yes Matt I do understand where you're coming from and am I still broken by what happens to Gwen of course, who wouldn't be?"  "Okay I understand and we can be more involved with this discussion in a whole other post on something like "Spider-man's real love matters among whom of MJ and Gwen?", let's get this web crawl spinning shall we."                                                                 Not sure of where the starting point of Gwendolyn Stacy's major turning impact should have as a bridge of a debriefing scope for greater detail. All I can say is that I know that I had a cold from when I returned from being in Quebec, Canada... but please most importantly remember a bridge plays a huge influence in my ongoing rivalry with my friend's father Norman Osborn! Speaking of Osborn his son Harry has gone an had another encounter with drugs, this time he went and was using according to Norman's family doctor was D-Lysergic acid Diethylamide known better as LSD. I enter as Peter Parker into enemy territory thinking of the last time I saw Harry when he was on any kind of illegal substance when a hand grabs my arm, I turn to see that who has my attention is none other than Harry's father.... Norman Osborn! He just throws me and his son's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson and my own girl Gwendolyn Stacy from his property!  Two hours later I head over to the my work place of the Daily Bugle to give them my pictures of my promised work from in Montreal of Spider-Man fighting the incredible Hulk! After Jonah throws me out of Robbie's office I suit up as Spidey to get home and get some much needed rest and a chance to talk to Gwen more about our friend Harry's problems with his use of LSD! When I get back to my apartment I find out that Gwen's hand bag that I gave her for Christmas has a Goblin lantern that is shaped similar to one of Goblin's weapon known as a pumpkin bomb on it!, Notice if you will that every sentence to this point is being written and ending with Exclamation mark and yes there is a completely EXCITING REASONING FOR THIS AND THE VERY NEXT ISSUE, BOTH ARE SHOWN HERE! 


Now back to the greatest and sadness moment of my well built brokenness from what happens with my love of my life that is Gwen!  Even though I know that I know that I most of all need rest to getting well,  I know that I am not kidding myself that Norman is wanting to push me to a breaking level of insanity, Mister Osborn you have me at broken insanity and I'm coming for you! I'm using one of my given powers that I received from the arachnid that was irritated with radioactive rays and gave me powers from itself as it's venom is now coursing through my blood cells right before it died, I have called this power my spider sense and I have used it to find the Green Goblin on his favorite bridge pillar of the George Washington Bridge in this story but in the real world it's known as the Brooklyn Bridge!                                                                                                                                 As to what does happen next in our war between Spider-Man's and the Goblin's personal winner as far as I am concerned is if above everything else is can I get Gwen away from here without her being or ending up dead?, and if I am lucky enough she'll have a bit of relief and respect for Spider-Man will finally make me smile as her boyfriend Peter Parker in public! What the Goblin wants is he will let Gwen go free as long as he can rid himself of Spider-Man forever or Gwen will die, as his words only do the one thing he's wanting more than everything else of sending me into raging anger and what he really wants a fight till the death! He starts his attack by throwing one of his pumpkin bombs at me as I am dazed by my balance and the forementioned cold, then as I regain my footing on the bridge's beam he swoops in on his glider tires to knock me once again which makes me even madder and determined to beat him anyway I can so I snap him off of his glider and punch him with my best remaining strength!                                     


At that being my for certain rage breaker I raced from the metal beam atop of the bridge cable to the pillar that just a matter of moments ago the Green Goblin tried to kill me from to be reunited with my love Gwen,  luckily for me I was sure that she was in a state of shock what I didn't know was that Goblin had been saved by his glider and came for both of us on the pillar and knocked Gwen from it completely....I went on emotional reflect and caught her by her leg and saved my ever loving woman from pain of dying.  The Goblin went and reminded me on the reality of what's just been done because of what he had just caused! And with only anger did I make a vow to him and now we really were at war.         

        ,with each other no matter if we were our civilian selves or our dark selves!                  We're now without a doubt at the very title of this collceted trade "The Goblin's Last Stand!" It came out in July of 1973, four months after I was born..." Oh and let's not forget that as we have said through out this entry it is the follow up to when I lost my true love Gwendolyn Stacy at the movitions of a business man known as Norman Osborn! As we open the cover of Amazing Spider-Man # 122 I'm holding Gwen in my arms as both Goblin and Spider-Man promise each other death as the only way to end our forever feud! I take her down to wooden boat dock below the bridge where I did try to save her then I go back to the rage in my body and fight the Goblin by trying to strangle him around his neck then he takes it up a notch by taking us to the bridge cable support and gives me a body slam against it and I fall like Gwen did! I save myself by pushing my mind to clarity and letting go of my ongoing feelings for a few minutes of time, I then see the local police percent gathering around Gwen's body I gotta make sure that her death isn't in vain and punishment for myself by making certain that reporters put in details of what they think is important, and most importantly so that the Daily Bugle or Jonah Jameson, can make their forms of a spectacle like he honestly wouldn't find a way anyways, so having my motto of "With Great Power, Must also come Great Responsibility" I use my Responsibility to stop both sets of onlookers cops and newspaper reporters alike as I remember all of the hard 

   and loving times   

between Gwen and I! A black cop sees my pain as as white cop tries to attack me as the abalmance arrives I realize that fighting those who I respect isn't the best answer for my dealing with the problematic process of dealing with Gwen's ordeal so I do my fraught mindset a nails in brain till I can deal with Norman Osborn for the true monster that he is! I look for him at his New York townhouse only to find my friend his son there, then I don't waste anytime and ask Robbie and Jonah of where he's holding up of late, when I do finally get to his hideout we go and just found ourselves letting out our monsters from within! Finally he tries to hit me with his Goblin glider and hits himself instead! When it was over I found Mary Jane Watson at our apartment and told her to leave and for whatever reason she just stayed!  In the opening of issue Amazing Spider-Man #123 your favorite wallspinner namely me isn't so much concerning myself with anything but great guilt of Gwen's passing that when I do notice Aunt May she happens to still have one of Doc Ock's bodyguards with her at Gwen's burial service, I am so wreaked that when Flash Thompson tries to give me his condolences of Gwen I finally realize my past feelings of them being together just needn't matter. After her service has concluded,  Mary Jane is wanting to buy me a cup of coffee, while Jonah still believing that Spider-Man has murdered Miss Stacy and his good friend Norman Osborn is looking for someone to helping him with his own dealing of personal pain. He ended up in Time Square's seedy side where he witnesses the bar he is at has an fight going on between two African men one of which is whom, he is seeking named Luke Cage!  
           Mister Cage and Jameson find a way to a accommodating each other's needs by way of green paper if you get my drift so later that very day and getting my deepest emotional stance anyway from Gwen is by getting out and doing what I do best going for a swing around the city on my webs. When out of no where I get smashed by Mister Cage grabbing me in mid air, he freely admits that Jameson hired him to do Spider-Man in while we have our first smack down when I finish it by having him falling into a skylight of the building we are testing our will he or won't he wills against each other! Later that very day Mary Jane has invited me as Peter Parker to a college concert that she knew of. In  a few moments after getting a bit of juice from the punch bowl the whole party has a particular party crasher, yeah Cage comes around for round two between him and Spider-Man and I don't hold back in giving him what he really wants... a rematch! Even later in the evening Cage decides what type of hero he wants to be by giving Jameson his money back to him at the Bugle!                                                                                                          "So Spidey where do we start from here with the trade in the above pic on your right since we don't wish to...."                                                                                                                      " ....to be so much like we are in a tangled web of dangling and repeating of our selves in open space operatic  dry icing this review to determine if either Gwen's better for me than my wife Mary Jane is....I  thought we were going to benefit and let you those reading this didactic who you are thinking is better for me....."                                                                       " Wacky as it might seem my question, about it is because a work of Gerry's is also in that and I was wondering if you wanted to do that first is all..."                                                     "Ah ol wheat cakes, what am I thinking of my mistake but let do it just chronologically as it's printed minus what we've already shared, already..."                                                               When we open the trade known as Mary Jane SPIDER-MAN FACE IT TIGER... YOU JUST HIT THE JACKPOT!, we jump back to a time when I had only been around for about four years of experiencing life with one problem after another with approximately every foe that I have faced a few times till now with the exception of who's on the very cover of issue Amazing Spider-Man # 43 seen here 
this is the Rhino who first appeared two issues before. It just happens that I am with my aunt who is at her friend's Anna Watson home for lunch with her niece whom they have both been trying to get us together, for the past few months. Just like any young man I can't deny that I'm not only a hero at times but I will admit maybe at times a greater dunce is what Mister Parker is known for! Mary Jane suggests after lunch that we watch the TV set and while watching the Ed Sullivan show a news break about the Rhino escaping from the psych hospital he was placed in since our last encounter... 
Knowing that I have to go find the Rhino and dealing with him is one thing but keeping a promise to my only living relative, is also very important as well to ensure Aunt May's hard laboring of work in getting me to finally meeting M.J. I happen to invite her to take a ride with me on my cycle to wherever the Rhino is currently. Once we get into Manhattan, Mary Jane and I find ourselves in a crowd of spectators who looking at what the Rhino is doing,  I find myself very interesting situation of how to change into Spidey and do my heroism duties so I do it by telling MJ that I got to get photos of the on coming ordeal in front of us, while she gaurd our way here. After my first round this time around with Rhinny I find a way to beat him, because he leaves a tiny bit of his suit behind.                  "The next comic we will be exploring needs a tiny bit of back history of how it came to be as Matt has said in whole other entry entitled "What ever had happened to Peter Parker's LOST kid? part one".... which will be in part two of the continuation of that story!" To summarize it all rather quickly this story comes as a part of the nineteen nineties storyline known as "THE CLONE SAGA" when it was nearing it's end in nineteen ninety six in a book titled Untold Tales of Spider-Man,  the one we are discussing also happens to have a Madonna song title as the title of said story. With a certain Red head With...   

    just look at the cover here. This given arc of Mary Jane's is in her past before she actually meets Peter in Amazing Spider-Man issue forty two from nineteen sixty six... boy those shades on her face so either from the mid nineteen eighties, or possibility the nineteen nineties not really a problematic topic for me. Yet it does fit Mary Jane Watson's character which we will be into shortly. Still those of you here for reaction to action I am busy fighting a Chinese scientist Chen Lu known better to us, you the reader and I as Radioactive Man in the national history museum in Manhattan where it just so happens that Mary Jane and her aunt Anna are doing a self guided tour by the dinosaur exhibit when I  in the mist of our throwing down knock him into some radioactive ore that make him even more unstable than he already is. He escapes through the museum floor,  for me I go home to aunt May and make a nice touch to my webbing.  When I do catch up to him I don't realize that red haired girl has been following us. As we do our tango of fun for the second time, I send him into a coal barge carrying coal and stop him from spreading radiation all over the city.  Then I attended a party put together by Liz Allen at aunt May's home and from her yard Mary Jane Watson makes a big promise to herself for some day in the future.                                                                                                                                                  Now we are really going backwards in time to the mid nineteen eighties for the next title in this trade that promotes that yours truly will finally be returning to my original threads,  what am I talking about in this sense is... read on is what will work best for Amazing Spider-Man # 259. A couple of issues ago Mary Jane was in my apartment after my fighting a guy named Puma.... when she said this to me

        ...now the two of us are walking through central park and even though as always I am thinking of poor ol me I am trying to figure out what shall I do or should I even try to focus ON THAT VERY MATTER, while Mary Jane Watson tells me her life story. Meanwhile, this foe of mine calling himself the Hobgoblin is raising all kinds of problems just outside of Central park by enforcing himself as a mob boss. When I finally decide to go out on the lookout for crimes being committed I for the first time in a long amount of months put on the costume that I designed to make a name for myself so very long ago...       There is one question that I want to ask everyone reading this, what does anyone that is a true hero do when your love one is mistook for you? In answering that we have to look at my oversized annual seen here 
 from the summer of nineteen eighty five. I am fighting a group of drug dealers in the lower Manhattan district when at the same time I know that Mary Jane and I have dinner plans later, of course when I arrive at her place she's understandable upset. Meanwhile in one of the Kingpin's skyscrapers across town a man is trying to gather possible data on who I could be through Kingpin's computer systems.  When the Kingpin comes to the man wanting to know why I haven't reached that said goal. The man tells Kingpin that his tracking device is on a certain hat that I gave to my Aunt May for her birthday.  While I help someone else with th their own hat by saving it with webbing and giving it back to him, then out of no where my sixth sense goes off... Whilst,  Mary Jane is with both of our aunts having lunch at the park restaurant. I find that whatever it is that I tracking that set of my Spider sense looks like a strange kinda what better way to describe it, than call a unidentified flying object.... whomever is controlling it has just smashes through the restaurant Mary Jane and our beloved relatives are, they take both Anna Watson and her niece away!  A few minutes later I come through the smashed window of the restaurant and take the ribbon from the hat of Aunt May birthday gift and use it to find the Kingpin's hideout, while who ever has Mary Jane and Anna Watson believes that from what they've heard at the restaurant that they have Spider-Man in their clutches....    
                               Within a couple years of time, I had a lot of decisions of if I was going to be wearing a cloth copy of the black suit that Felicia Hardy aka the Black Cat made for me because she loves me more as Spidey than as Peter Parker, another huge gang war was going on,  and finally once again the Hobgoblin had fooled me by making Betty Brant Leeds husband be him when I was with Wolverine over in Berlin. After the events of the aforementioned gang war I went as Peter Parker to visit Aunt May who had mistaken given my microscope that she and uncle Ben gave me to keep my interests of learning abouut science, to a church that was looking for sale items for helping the local community.... knowing how much it meant to me I went to the very church an brought it back for keeping my hopefulness alive of being a scienist. I just remember feeling very emotionally empty so I went to Mary Jane to ask her something very personal which was this 
Her immediate response is of course "NO!" As I tell her that I have found a comforting way to deal with my life as Spider-Man,  she tells me her uncle contacted her about her sister and she knows that she has to deal with it in her way of getting to Philadelphia.  When helping her get a cab to the airport my spider sense goes off and unlike the last time it did I couldn't understand the "how part" this time I feel like I'm thinking it's just acting haywire. While outside of the back of her apartment something was crawling up to look for something or someone. Then on her plane ride to Pittsburgh Mary Jane is doing some very deep soul searching of if she's doing the right thing, while in my own apartment on Chelsea Street in New York I am sure trying to figure out how much I find out that I feel simply useless. To avail my own misery of not understanding where Mary Jane is coming from, I go out web swinging to clear my head with looking for crimes being committed and oh boy I find something more than I can handle in the construction site that triggers my spider sense.... it turns out that I am fighting a new version of a spider-slayer from the son of Spencer Smythe. Later that night, I get a call from Pittsburgh and of course it's Mary Jane....                                                                                               In issue Amazing Spider-Man #292 from it's very cover seen here         
 do you think that I am possibly done in for. I have taken a plane to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia because my dear friend Mary Jane told me in a phone call that she needed my help with something but she didn't want to share what it was over the phone, the only problem was I had to deal with Alistair Smythe and his spider-slayer in New York. I went and determined that law enforcement could handle him, so now I am at Mary Jane's sister home in Pittsburgh! After meeting her father and Mary Jane getting steamed at him, we leave her sister's house, where she tells me of their dilemma of  helping her father or her sister. At that same time I find out that Alistair Smythe has followed Spider-Man to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. When we are later at the airport heading home for New York Mary Jane decides to accept my proposal of marriage.  
We next have up in this trade a Spider-Man graphic novel, by the core writer of the majority of the trade we were including with this one, of "THE GOBLIN'S LAST STAND", that is right we are again sharing a story by Gerry Conway it is known as  
  
Parallel lives. Mostly the fifty four pages of this tells in a modernized update of both my and M.J. histories. The one part of Mary Jane's background that we've been building up to is this, her parents are Philip and Madeline Watson who were constantly fighting over almost everything. Mary Jane also has a older sister named Gayle who was always trying to be strong because it was her way of dealing with their father, whereas for Mary Jane she tired very often to be a free spirit in matters of her dealings with her father. When she was fourteen and spending time with her only relative from his side of the family that she respected saw Spider-Man as someone who hid his fears by being a live performer on the boob tube. It was around that given time that her mom and her were living with her cousin Frank, Gayle her sister was married to a young boy just out of high school named Timmy Byrnes and she was expecting her first born too. I had just gotten bit by that overdosed arachnid a week or so before that, I was trying to figure out how to hopefully find a way of paying both my uncle Ben and aunt May for their example of clean living and raising me as best that they could and with the powers from the spider I had found myself no longer struggling to just do my school work... I could feel that by becoming a small time celebrity I would be very proud to give them money for helping me be the teenager that I am. Then a week later on Mary Jane happens to see me asking a cop about what's happening. She saw me racing into our home. When she wasn't wanting to think of my aunt's emotional state, she just happens to see Spider-Man coming out of the Parker house, when her mother asks what's going on she runs to a party to forget what she knows she saw! It also shows some of my many endeavors of fighting criminals and Mary Jane and Gayle loosing Madeline.                                                                                          What is really fascinating is that Gerry gets to go back to his time on the title in the way of having the main villain be none other than Ummm Otto Octavius!                                              However I try to get away from what happens in Amazing Spider-Man issue # 309, I don't know all that I remember was Mary Jane and I had moved from my small apartment on Chelsea Street, to a place called The Bedford Towers. I have a coffee table book that has me doing worldwide cities tours, also I have recently started returning to college.While I was on the book tour and returning from Chicago, Mary Jane had just vanished, after talking with investigators I went trying to finding her through every super villain I could think of.... now I am going through local street hoodlums   

                        that may have answers, I am hoping? Anything I did as Spider-Man or as Peter Parker wasn't helping me just feel lonely and a emotional wreck as a empty human being. Mary Jane was being held against her will by the owner of our place of where we are living, he proves how crazy he is by sending two unknown villains after yours truly!                For as to the main background of the last comic in this very trade you the reader of this blog are wanting to know about you have to realize marvel comics had many things going on in the late nineteen nineties.... including having to file for chapter eleven to survive! During it all Marvel was able to keep expanding each character's universe and keep their buying customers very excited for whatever was coming up each month.  So after getting out of dealing with their debt, they were starting to make movies to grow their best beloved characters besides myself too. One of the things that they got out of the deal was having movie and TV production have their writers working on something new and different,  one those TV producers was J. Micheal Straczynski who created the Si-fi series Babylon five, who started with Amazing Spider-Man volume two issue # 30 which came out in June,  2001.... the issue of his early run of my title is Amazing Spider-Man # 50 and No we aren't talking about the one with 

   this cover from July of  nineteen sixty-six, but with this one                                                                                                         
from yes the same month and thrity six years of difference in story content, the content of the one above has Mary Jane and I trying to see each other from both coasts when we meet up at the very same airport.While we are grabbing a snack before talking about where we are going through our moments of current everyday living,  I happen to see come through the international customs gate Doctor Doom of course my spider sense goes off but it's not because of him... rather another person from his country of Latveria. Who has a message for him in the way of having an whole bunch of wires attached to not only his body the other ends are connecting to huge sticks of dynamite! He tell Doom "FREE LATVERIA" and pushes his detonator trigger and fills the airport with explosion among the rubble I happen to find a blonde haired man with a flag under his grey suit... I then put on my colorful spandex to deal with whatever is going to happen next! In the mist of the fighting going on Mary Jane tells me that                                                                                  
she is very much wanting to speak with Peter Parker and not Spider-Man because she's doing her best to understand do I do what I am doing for emotional reasons of helping us or as shown a couple of pages over 
that a couple no matter who they are, but she and I have to figure out our understanding need for each other. For always going off of our emotional cores can and could  break down anyone, yet every relationship has to deal with both people's needs to maintain it's everyday growth. Mary Jane has always ran from her experiences with tightly knitted love especially with family, yet I can unfortunately understand that needing she is talking about.... and before we start to head home I do introduce her to the blonde haired man with the flag as his suit, even though I don't tell her his civilian name she gets to meet Captain America! It's like Cap says in this story  "The mask is supposed to hide your face. Don't let it hide your heart."                                                                                                                             "One last question that I am wanting to ask everyone reading this besides do you like me Peter Parker with either Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson... that's up to you I  know! Here's that question, remember when you are feeling unsure of your own relationships always be bold in saying what you're driving needs are  to go keeping your heart both strong and healthy for each moment of each day is a completely new experience in any environment right or wrong?" 

March 13, 2021

I am really feeling sad tonight as a anime fan.....

 Hello All,                                                                                                                                                      So tonight's entry is one that is truly very much not really anything but a love letter to someone that I have never met but she did give a very beloved gift to us who are Anime and science fiction fans the world over when she voiced the character in the animated series from Japan known here in America or the United States as Star Blazers. In it's home country it was known as Space Cruiser Yamato and when it was brought to the states it was heavily edited of historical and certain types of violence that wouldn't have been understood by the very audiences it was aimed for of young children. I have to admit that the reason why I love cartoons of any kind is because of Star Blazers which of late I have been rewatching for the past few weeks with it's more recently reinvisioned updated version from a couple of years ago by the animation release company called FUNIMATION productions. So very soon here there will be a complete comparison of STAR BLAZERS vs STAR BLAZERS 2199 and STAR BLAZERS 2202, so be on the look out for it in the near future!                                                                                                                                     While I was watching a close out of a independent comic by Comicsgate called Alien Alamo by creator Graham Nolan who known best for illustrating the Batman villain called Bane in the 1990's in the Batman storyline "Knightfall" to rival Marvel's X-MEN " "Onslaught" or the company's mascot of Spider-Man with his storyline known simply as "Clone Saga" to run parallel to Decetevice comics mascot of Superman in a story simply called "Death of  Superman", anyway while watching the close out of Alien Alamo on YouTube I went looking around the internet for things that I had forgotten about doing today besides backing Alien Alamo when I was on my way to the bank after work at Albertson's. So the first thing I saw on Facebook was the passing of Amy Howard Wilson on my news feed... a tear came to me in my heart when I saw this!                                                   The character that Amy lent her voice to is Nova who started in Star Blazers as a nurse at the local hospital in one of the many underground cities on planet earth.                     

                                                                                Who to the two earth surveillance officers who have just returned from space duty on Mars looks very much like the possible alien woman they encountered a few weeks ago during one of earth's latest space battles in the far regions of our solar system. She joins them and many other people who volunteer to save the whole planet aboard a refitted earth battleship called the Yamato.                                                                                                   

   
Amy was able to show throughout the series of for what most Americans saw was fifty two episodes (there was a third season when Animes had a name in 1983 yet only one original voice actor returned from the original two), she was able to get across that women in the world can be just as strong in their decisions as men are. Her character grew from a hard worker at the radar station on the bridge to exploring planets and of course falling in love with Derek Wildstar without him being mostly unwear of it till the end of the first season while still fighting the enemy. 
In the very last episode of the first series her character's shows the greatest strength of love for the planet earth by scarfacing her love of existence to save her fellow crew members...with possibly facing death overall. 
Years later Amy took part with her voice actor costars at Anime cons giving talks about what it was like of recording sessions.  There happens to be a cos player who got a chance to talk about said things I have mentioned here on her YouTube channel called the NOVA Show. I am sure that she is very saddened to heat of Amy's passing. Amy passed away on the last day of last month as far as I can gather from her online obituary on Facebook she passed while sleeping in the night so she went peaceful and met God with ease. Here is a photo of her along with the character she gave life to. 
May heaven welcome this wonderful woman who was always kind to everyone she met in her time on earth. What's very interesting is that in the last episode of season one of Star Blazers Derek carries Nova from the mourge to go see Doctor Sane and in his thoughts besides talking about their whole year together he asks "God please let her wake up".... so why am I including this piece of dialog in Amy Howard Wilson's love letter is because it not only fits her entrance into heaven, it without any doubt showed growth of the translators being brave enough with the script  not to takes it out a moving moment in a show meant for children is so very right.  
                                                                                                                                                                      May God bless her loving husband David Wilson during these tiring times who was her Derek Wildstar in life!
