Tonight, we learn that with great power, comes great ass-whooping:
BAM!!!Sadly, despite the punch, the Goblin kills Gwen Stacy on the next page. Sigh...
Of course, if that happened today, Spider-Man would run around badgering everyone, feeling sorry for himself, and eventually making a deal with Mephisto to save Gwen's life, if only he agrees to forget Aunt May forever....double sigh...
And howzabout a shout out for Gil Kane? His run on Spider-Man never receives enough appreciation, if you ask me.
You know who else doesn't receive enough appreciation? Bahlactus, that's who--he's so powerful, the devil comes begging to him for deals.
Peter's ultimately futile power punch is from Amazing Spider-Man #121, the beginning of the Bronze Age. And I'm sticking my fingers in my ears and singing while I pretend that none of the Clone Sagas or Sins Past or any of that other nonsense ever happened. Lalalalalalalalalalala....
That's an awesome sound effect.
