Spider-Man #240

[cyberghostface]

"Last night I did the lettering proof on my last issue of Spider-Man, for which I decided to junk what I was going to do for my finale. I did a story about Miles having an infection and waking up in a hospital and finding out that his friends are much better friends than he thought that they were, and kind of having moments with each member of his life. I just flat-out did what I tell my students to do every day, which is write it, write your pain, put it in there. I did it right after I was sick." -- Brian Michael Bendis

.... have Peter and Harry ever had this kinda of bond of friendship? Seem too long...

"Keep a keeper, that what my aunt told me"... which Spider-Man is this again? Cause... you know, OMD/OMIT

I have decided that since Aunt May was wrong about a lot of things, retroactively she was wrong about Mary Jane being the "right girl" for Peter. Admitted, I'm not sure why May, who didn't want Peter to have friends, somehow thought MJ would be the right girl for Peter to someday marry.

(May not wanting Peter to have friends comes from CIVIL WAR tie-ins. Some of those issues had flashbacks that hinted Peter didn't have any friends growing up because May didn't want him to.)

#240? Has this really been going for twenty years?

[cyberghostface]

It’s counting USM which debuted in 2000.

Is Trump president in 616?

[zachbeacon]

I assume so. The real-world President is usually implied to be (if not outright stated) the 616 Pres.

The sliding timeline kind of makes a mess of things though. At this point I think everything from the F4's debut onward started happening in the second Bush's last term.
