From "Spectacular Spider-Man" 199. Harry has just been released from the Vault. It’s amazing how much emotion Sal Buscema put into each person’s face. From Liz’s denial, Harry’s evil smugness, Mary Jane’s anger and Normie being…Normie.

So there is precedence to the One Moment in Time issue where Spidey was KO’d by the brick. Hmm.
That plus how did Aunt May have the strength to knock peter out? Peter can stay conscious after a punch from the Thing, but Aunt May and a vase?
Yeah, in the issue after he’s knocked out he notes on how it didn’t go off because it was Aunt May. But later in the 90s he tells Mary Jane it goes off whenever something is directed at him that could be percieved as a threat, even something like a pillow.
So yeah, the continuity isn’t great…haha.
His spider-sense only warns him of danger. It doesn’t go off if he’s “attacked” by someone he doesn’t consider a threat. Although I’m sure there are many instances where other writers have ignored this rule.
Does Spidey get a No-Prize here for giving a reason why his Spider Sense didn’t go off? lol
Yeah, I remember the Jenkins issue. Loved it.
