Yeah, I’ll have my Around the Spider-verse up later today and we’ll see what happens.
I got one for my second comment. Must have been a glitch in the matrix.
Yes, I didn’t get one either.
Hmm, I didn’t get the usual email when I checked the “Notify me of follow-up comments by email” checkbox. Let’s see if this one works.
This was good, but how could you do a profile on Hammerhead and not mention the Conway (?) stories where HE GETS BLOWN UP AND COMES BACK AS A GHOST! If you want to describe to someone how wacky the Spidey books were back in the 70s, 3 of the best examples are:
– Doc Ock and Aunt May wedding
– The Spider-Mobile
– Hammerhead gets blown up by a nuclear explosion and returns as a ghost to haunt Doc Ock
Also, in his original appearances wasn’t it a titanium plate, not adamantium?
