This is how the machine uprising begins.

[aperturedreams]

This might be the greatest thing I've ever read

[mazway_75]

I want an Octopus Doctor Funko and I want it NOW.

[cainofdreaming]

Well, that's still the best explanation we've got as to how Spidey swings around above the tallest buildings.

[mazway_75]

I still remember Peter David mocking in in an issue of X-Factor as Spidey fires off a web on a rooftop and swings off and they go "wait...what was the other end attached to?"

[arilou_skiff]

I also remember it being a thing when he goes into the suburbs and there aren't any high buildings to swing off, so he has to walk or take the train like a normal person.

"When Cometh ... The Commuter!". And yeah, it's a really fun issue.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Seriously, this is better than like, half of Marvel's output.

[dcbanacek]

Only half?

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Rounded down, of course.

[locuatico]

Finally a PROPER Doc Ock story.

Needs more bridges and unmaskings. I was expecting to see Peter's surprise at finding out his landlord is the evil Doctor Goblin.

Also Peter should have quit being Spider-Man forever and then become Spider-Man again on the same page.

9.5/10 out of 10. This bot has a better grasp of Spider-Man than any of the *checks notes* four regular writers Amazing has had in the last twenty years.

[tripodeca113]

Not enough recreations of classic imagery and situations.

[zachbeacon]

As much as the lack of bridges bugs me, it does show Peter trapped under Octopus Doctor's heavy science while thinking about Aunt visiting Ben Uncle's graveside. That's about as classic as you get;

Also surprised J. Robbie Bugle and Mary Beth* Stacy aren't featured here.

*(Couldn't decide between Betty and Liz so I split the difference)

[tripodeca113]

On closer examination you are correct.

[thanekos]

" We fed a bunch of issue summaries to Botnik and then moderately-to-heavily curated the results. "

[zachbeacon]

I don't think there's actually a bot.

[thezmage]

I remember when I first realized that Keaton Patti didn’t really have a bot and was just writing then himself. It was like realizing Santa doesn’t exist, but more devastating.

[zachbeacon]

I had to look into who that was. Yeah, I can see where that would be disappointing.

On a related note, I'm finding it harder and harder to believe Olivia Taters is a bot.

[rainspirit]

That was what it was like discovering horse e_books was a human and not a bot. :(

[tcampbell1000]

Since I'm pretty sure this is the first time the word "enema" has ever appeared in a Spider-comic, I've got some strong doubts about the stated methodology here.

[joetuss]

How can anyone be afraid of Skynet after reading this nonsense?
