Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) 8-10

So the artist is definitely taunting us right

Because... I mean...

...Anyway. Peter's duplicated mind is definitely not dangerous in any way. It can speak and has an evil smile.

Perfectly reliable. (I need to write smut.)

Actually I don't even need to write anything because the selfcest writes itself. But it's time to celebrate the kids' birthday, so Peter has no time to challenge his conception of his own sexuality. His trysts with Harry are already quite charged.

Then we have a flashback to three weeks ago, because the comics's pacing makes it awkward that way. Wouldn't have to do that if you had more pages, honey! Or if it wasn't per month. Remember, Iron Man arrived just as Peter and Harry were beating each other and testing their AI. Peter's is very lovely (as we've seen), and Harry's daddy issues incarnated since it's his own father. What a stupid choice.

I don't like how this Tony looks, but I'm glad to see the bisexuality is still present. Tony says the Maker returns "in a little over a year" (so probably after two years all in all, I thought it would only be one year but okay). Why does he return, actually? To get beat up? Because that's what's gonna happen.

Anyway, turns out Harry wasn't on the list of heroes who HAD to be eradicated. Peter was, but not Harry, because of course he wasn't. Wow, I bet their relationship will have no trouble whatsoever.

Peter gives Tony a chance, but Harry's fixated on the fact that Tony totally broke his suit's security. Because weakness. Because daddy issues.

Back at the kids' party, Ben tries to make Peter subtly understand that he and Jameson are an item.

He mostly fails. Anyway, the paper launches the following month (September, then). It took its time. And they want Peter there. He's not sure about it.

The party looks nice. I was finally able to play one of these dance things in Japan a few months ago and let me tell you, it's really hard. But it's fun.

Funny, that's what Ben said about Jameson.

I love this kid. He's great. Hope nothing happens to him because so far he's completely exceeded my expectations.

It's clear that the kid feels very lonely too (pretty sure that's shown in the early issues as well), but Jameson gifting him his autobiography is priceless. What a fascinating relationship. He published it himself! Fits with his autoentrepreneur thing.

Meanwhile, Fisk contacts the other gang leaders.

Yeah, still hot.

The leaders are clearly the minibosses. So beside Martin Li, we get Black Cat (Felicia's father), Mysterio (<3), Kraven, and... Mole Man. Alright. In the cliffhanger, Fisk says he wants to make a game out of his enemies... is he going to make them fight each other? It's not gonna be difficult then, Harry's one joke away from choking Peter. And I do not only mean sexually, although yes, that too.

Ish 9!

Ben and Jameson are not satisfied about their articles; too much about Spidey, not enough about the dark side of the Big Apple.

About some SPECTACULAR content?

Anyway, MJ explains that actually, It's Good, because they're very successful right now.

In his lab, Otto gives Harry a firmware upgrade. For Spidey, his solution is a costume change.

Peter confers with his AI that's totally not swallowing him up in his sleep.

Bingo.

Unfortunately for Otto, Peter is already in a fully committed relationship with his current suit. So Peter suggests the suit stays at PETER'S HOME TO PROTECT IT. SURELY NOTHING WRONG WILL HAPPEN. I need more conversations between these two. Give me more than crumbs!

Anyway, it's all so Tony can't track them down, which I find... kind of strange but alright. Peter doesn't seem too attached to the idea either.

I expected a black suit, I wanted to hate it, but not gonna lie... IT's kind of cool. But yeah it's really giving Sonyverse!Venom movies. I'm here for it!

Peter's... not into it. It's too *complete*.

He opts for a spandex suit. Booooring.

God Harry's really trying to make them a thing. Peter's bisexuality is still buried.

Meanwhile, Ben and Jameson investigate Stark/Stanne Industries. Sure.

Anyway, Black Cat arrives and fights our heroes.

Not very heterosexual, mister.

Eventually, Harry acts on instinct, spurred by his dad, and yeets BC out of the building. BC is almost dead.

Peter's *not* happy about it.

Okay, yandere.

Just kiss already argh

I'm very impressed with how much the book accomplishes in its short amount of pages but goddamnit everything here also deserves 5 times more exploration.

Oh, what the hell. Let's read ish 10 as well!

It's focused on Ben and Jameson's investigation, which I do not really care about. They get closer to Stark/Stanne Industries's acquisition, which leads them to Oscorp, so to Gwen, who gave them the money in the first place.

Her reaction?

Very understandable.

Later, Richard (the son) checkmates Peter, and MJ informs Ben that Gwen called her.

Oh, those shadows on Peter's shirt were not necessary.

Anyway, Gwen has a week until the story comes out. Ouch.

And when Harry enters the Paper's office, Ben drops the bombshell: they think either Harry or his wife are in the green suit. (Which leaves the question of Spidey open... They must have an inkling, surely.)

Harry's reaction?

Well, well, well...

They just keep on giving each other money for bets they made. Kind of golden.

Harry quickly gets tired of these gay ass old men, but he tells them about Oscorp's secret intel about a lot of stuff, and says that Peter says he can trust them. So they must now know he's Spidey.

KISS.

Anyway, finally, they publish their story...

"Photo by Peter Parker" and then published by a "Ben"... HMM. THAT SURE IS DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT.

That's it for today! See you, like, in December or January for the next few issues <3

Kin assigning every Harry a genre-emo band.

616 Harry: American Football

6160 Harry: Cap’n Jazz

65 Harry: Brave Bird

Raimi Harry: The Appleseed Cast

Webb Harry: Sorority Noise (derogatory)

TSSM Harry: Rainer Maria

USM Harry: Thursday

MSM Harry: Into it. Over it.

Insomniac Harry: I’ve been thinking for like thirty minutes. I think the correct answer might just be that he’s the least emo Harry. Sorry. (Which is the title of my favorite Empire! Empire! I was a lonely estate! song.)

YFNSM Harry: Michael Cera Palin.

Defending my thesis under the cut

616: He seems like an American Football guy. He’d like the gentle vibes. It’s also a very dad emo band. Additionally, because awareness of Mike Kinsella is a good representative of how much an emo cares for the history of the genre, how many degrees from Mike Kinsella a band is is also a measure of how many degrees from 616 a guy is. Because it’s funny.

6160-Lowest possible degrees from Mike Kinsella. Also, like Cap’n Jazz, he did not last very long.

65-One of the only comic Harry’s where degrees from Mike Kinsella are not necessary. Also, I say this with the utmost affection, I love Brave Bird, but Brave Bird is about the maximum amount of shitty guy energy a band can have before they become intolerable.

Raimi: Chris Crisci is sort of the Mike Kinsella for people who weren’t around in the 90’s scene. My other choice was Moving Mountains. Because Greg Dunn is like Mike Kinsella for revival era emos. I’ve heard to many revival bands jokingly refer to him as Father Greg to not think this.

Webb: I meant this one as an insult.

TSSM: Rainer Maria was a direct contemporary of the Kinsella stuff. Mike Kinsella used to work for Rainer Maria. My second choice was Owen because Owen is. Mike Kinsella’s solo project.

USM: A guy who needed to have one of the few bands that are both pop punk and emo. Also needed to have a band that’s a bit basic, but not one that’s basic enough to be used as a consistent comedic heel. Thursday.

MSM: Needed a band that’s very mainline emo, not much crossover with like, pop punk, post rock, Midwest stuff, etc, but also one that people do actually hold in decent regard. Into it. Over it. Is also Evan Weiss’s solo project, and he is a respectable enough emo to be in Their/They’re/There with Mike Kinsella, which is essentially maximizing the degrees from Mike Kinsella while still letting him be here. There he is. Say hello everyone.

Insomniac: Listen to me. Any band you can give me is probably pop punk. This post is about emo. I do not mean it to be mean. The Sorority Noise thing is way meaner. This guy just is the least emo.

YFNSM: I specifically wanted a band that’s considered at least a little basic in being very well known, but not one that’s so basic that like. People who got into stuff in 2022 and were absolute jackasses meaning TBF, McCafferty, etc were turned into punchlines even more than they already were. Especially because he doesn’t seem like he’d like Midwest emo. More want the sort of band where someone being excited to know about it gives off more endearingly that a person is just getting into stuff. Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional are both a bit older than what I wanted. So the obvious choice was Michael Cera Palin.

USM 2024 has a definitive “superheroes in empty worlds” vibe to it that I feel would be alleviated by Peter saving some lives. Make me feel that this world really needs Spider-Man

It's a dope design tbh and really in line with that they seemingly want to do with Harry.

Laughing my ass off because all the people who gooned over ultimate black cat and wanted to Peter to cheat on his wife are gonna be real quiet now because Black cat was revealed to be 16 in the latest sneak peek for issue 14.

Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) 2-3

Peter getting repeatedly surprised by the Shocker is very funny. Other than that, he keeps being the daddy he deserves to be.

I feel like it's only fair that if the suit's deactivated, we should see what's underneath. What do you mean, it only deactivates the mask? THat's unfair!

They need to fuck.

It's a really strong series for now but everyone's already said what's to be said about it, so enjoy my thirsty posts!

I don't know what was going on here. It appeared one was repeatedly pouncing on the other. Perhaps a mating display, competition for mates, competition for something else, or just play? If anyone knows, I would be interested.

NEET 2024 results:

67 students scored 720/720 (itna easy toh nhi tha yaar paper)

Two students from haryana scored 719, 718 marks which is literally impossible. According to NTA, normalization was done because the students weren't provided enough time.(Pure bullshit)

Rank inflation 🤯🤯🤯

AIIMS Delhi will close at 720 for general category, usme bhi Pata nhi kis kisko milega.

Cutoff would be more than 650+ for general category

Re-Neet is very unlikely considering NTA just released results before 10 days to avoid this.

Although Re-NEET is the only way to make this right. Congratulations to all who made it out of this phase

And deep condolences to those who were scoring between 620-650 as their dreams just got shattered by NTA.

In short NTA(National Trauma Agency) need to be replaced by CBSE or AIIMS/JIPMER asap.

During a brutal Bunuru (Noongar - second summer), a cafe created a little oasis for the wildlife. This quenda (southern brown bandicoot) appreciated it.
