And here's the reason we're here, Luke Cage himself!
>5000 dollars for Spider-Man
Fuck, counting inflation I don't think JJ would offer that much NOW.
...
...
Given how much Peter's problems are caused by a lack of money, you'd think being paid to kick his ass wouldn't piss him off more than the whole "you're kicking my ass" thing.
...
...
...
Harry's being a bit of a dick around now.
How long do you think Cage waits between smashing through a door before deciding "Huh, I guess he wasn't in here. My bad!"
...
Hey, it's Norman Osborn, the last time he was ever good.
What do you mean, Harry's been a good guy so far in Slott's run.
Dunno how long I'll last on here tonight, I'm pretty wiped.
Will try for the first two issues you do, I guess.
And now I have to rinse my mouth out with military-grade mouthwash for saying something good about Slott's Spider-Man.
And now you know why JJ hates Cage.
I'm only going to do this and two issues of Cage's story, since I have to work an 11 hour shift tomorrow.
And now you know why I asked if you wanted to see that issue.

>Mary Jane already moving in while Gwen has literally just been put in the ground.
Stone cold.
...
Hey, at least she waited until after the funeral was over.
Oh look, this asshole's still around!
...
>Peter hears how much Luke's getting paid to kick his ass
>tries to figure out how to kick his own ass
Given how tight that suit of armor is, what do you think he does when he has an itch? Can you imagine a worse hell?
I guess he just walks around doing his "loud angry negro bit" until either something turns up or not.

Mystery Man looks suspiciously like Cage.
Just saying, this is a guy who takes advantage of his powers already, by taking pictures of himself.
Do you want to know who it actually was?
JJJ pays better than Doom.
Latveria must have been having a recession.
It doesn't come up much, especially in these early days, but Luke's a lot smarter than he seems. Dude speaks three languages.
Unfortunately, Chinese is not one of them.
Since the Death of Gwen Stacy ends with her staying with Peter to console him, you could say she literally made a move on him before her body was cold, depending on your definition of "making a move".
Oh yes, "alchemy", that respected and established branch of science.
Ah, who am I kidding, it's a comic book. It's no less than I'd expect.
He focuses on his rage.
I said Norman, because I'm still stewing in bitterness over his unneeded resurrection.
Harry on the other hand is alright, and I'll take your word on his newer appearances. I stopped looking at Spidey before Slott even became the sole writer.
Oh, that Phil Fox! Always snooping around!
>It doesn't come up much, especially in these early days, but Luke's a lot smarter than he seems. Dude speaks three languages.
I don't doubt it. Mostly, it translates to quick thinking to get the upper hand in situations, like pic related, and the ways he outfought Muerte, who he couldn't hit directly.
Btw, what languages does he speak?
Listen, she just realized that he needed to be with someone who pretended to be a slut but wasn't to get over his girlfriend who pretended not to be a slut but was.
Damn my shitty modem.
I feel like I remember it being Harry, but that might be adaptations seeping into the original in my mind.
Oh, you have no idea.
English (obviously), Japanese, and I forget the third one.
Yeah, it was Harry.
...
If you've seen the recent New Avengers issues (I think it's New Avengers, anyway), you know where this is going.
...
WHAT A TWIST!
Hey look, it's reject Kraven!
kek
...
Or proto-Sabertooth.
...
In case it isn't well known, we'll be getting to Sabertooth's pre-X-Men appearances once Iron Fist becomes a thing.
Kek, Bruce Wayne name drop
I can't tell if that's during the times where Marvel could directly make DC references without lawyers having a cow, or if this was the time when they pretended they met occasionally.
...
Talented guy that Billy Ghaham.
...
...
Okay so there's also a touch of Red Ghost going on too.
Christ, doesn't this asshole have better things to do?
...
See, NOW he looks like Kraven.
Well, I don't remember Kraven having Green Goblin finger-lasers.
...
...
...
It's just a reference, I think. It's too brief to be much legal trouble.
Somehow this costume is worse.
...
>AND POPS THE CLUTCH!
Does he tell the world to eat his dust?
...
His last words are calling cage a son of a bitch.
That's dedication.
>that time he mauledLuke's girlfriend because he was pissed at Misty but couldn't tell black women apart
And that's it for this issue.
Tomorrow night, we finish Luke Cage!
>Directly referencing Dashiell Hammett
I'm guessing that's where they got 'gunsel' from.
>Tomorrow night, we finish Luke Cage!
You mean we'll wrap up the "Luke Cage" series? The next one is called "Power Man" right?
It's just a rename of the series, they don't even renumber it.
Right. But I think that's what "finish up Luke Cage" means.
bump for hire

Goddammit JJJ, already with the accusations? Do you think every night he checks under his bed and in his closet for Spider-Man?
Thanks PM - man, Gil Kane and John Romita really do make a good team - the art's wonderful.
>Just after the Death of Gwen Stacy
Boy did Luke pick the wrong moment to give Spidey something to punch.
