Oh no, they've met plenty of times. In fact, Aunt May is happier because Ock really cares about her and has been dropping by to spend time with her more. Prior to the switch, Peter's been kind of neglecting her because he's so busy he has little time for her, while Ock prioritizes it more.
Yes, yes, Dan Slott has written it so that even Aunt May thinks Ock is the superior Peter Parker. Continue with the rage and snark, everyone.
The Rule of Stupidity. Everyone else has been made an idiot for the sake of Dan Slott's beloved storyline, why not May? Hell, I'm half-expecting them to have Uncle Ben claw his way out of the grave for five minutes in order to tell SpOck that he's greater than Peter ever could have been in the past!
Aunt May being both Miss Marple AND badass in the same page is pretty awesome.
I recall a scene in the Joan Hickson production of "A Pocketful of Rye" where she mentions that when the body of a housemaid had been found with a clothespeg on her nose, "It showed such disrespect, and that made me VERY angry" and you know from the quiet, determined, understated way she delivers the line that there are pits in the lowest bowels of hell which would be preferable to facing Miss Jane Marple when she is angry.
Who is that Jarvis is trouncing in the first episode? My first thought was Punisher, from the skull on his chest, but I don't remember Frank having a cape, ponytail, or robot sidekick.
"You… you were testing me?" [breaks glass dramatically into small shards]
By the way, I think s_d readers must already know this, but for the record: arsenic doesn't taste like almonds. Arsenic is a toxic metalloid, and has no particular taste or smell.
Cyanides, a class of poisonous chemicals, do smell like bitter almonds (to be distinguised from everyday "sweet" almonds), probably because bitter almonds contain some. The smell of bitter almonds is an overused trope, despite the fact that most people don't know what bitter almonds smell like (it's different from regular almonds), and that the smell of a poisoning wouldn't be perceptible anyway. This comic has an interesting mutation; we seem to be reaching the level where almonds = poison.
> After Spidey comes to the rescue a tad too late and finds the Chamelon unconscious, Aunt May reveals that she only mixed sleeping pills in them and that she added almond extract just to screw with him.
Yeah, I probably shoulda mentioned that she didn't really poison him. I like that she pretended to, though. It goes to show that you don't fuck with Aunt May.
For being able to knit that little swatch THAT quickly. In just five cookies worth of time? Seriously, she's gotta have superhuman wrists or something.

"It's SPACE Punisher."
And then I google and, yes, everything implied in that name holds true.
My god, Marvel. My god.

Oh, not for the cookies. That's just badass.
