I’d say this is cool,but almost the same exact thing happened in an issue of Daredevil with Bullseye.
I also enjoyed the John Byrne Fantastic Four where they sought out Doc Ock to help Sue with complications delivering her baby. Reed picks Ock up in the Fantasticar, and Ock sees a spider and wigs out. Great use of the whole Marvel Universe.
I love how the New Yorkers see a guy walking around with metal arms and just continue about their daily business like it’s nothing.
Keep these up! I love these!
