Daily Spider Bomb! Week 15: J. Jonah suits up!

But have you really begun Spider-Man's downfall yet?  And check out Mary Jane's bra strap!

My spider-sabbatical sense is acting up!

It's fun to pretend Peter's face actually looks like that, especially because you can imagine it's true in the first panel, too.

I'm not sure what's going on here with his face, but I don't think New York City needs a super-powered robot man with an electified Hitler mustache.

A sexy strip for Valentine's Day!  Mary Jane goes airborne with lust, Peter responds with a shameless grin, and Jameson trots out his new porno name.

Brody suddenly transforms into Martha Washinton!

The Parkers brace for another day of sex while Jonah uses his new super powers to commit petty vandalism.

Latest Star Wars VII rumors

From marketsaw [via darkhorizons], [Cast so far includes] Ian McDiarmid, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davies, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman. I believe Cumberbatch and Oldman were pursued for the same role, but I don't know how that will work out with the script changes, but I'm told they are both involved.

Regarding Harrison Ford, two more Indiana Jones features are in the negotiation stages as per Ford's contract clause on Star Wars, which is the primary reason he didn't 'publicly' or 'privately' commit, or so I'm told.

Many Star Wars pre-production issues, an 'inadequate' central story which nobody would stamp off on, a problematic initial release date and an 'indecisive' director (J.J. Abrams) with the hardest gig in the industry. It's not going to be a cakewalk, but it will be a product shipping with the majority of its original parts.

Ultimately it's about twins, and which will take a path towards darkness and which will follow in their fathers footsteps, or at least that is what it used to be, that may come later as I think changes are being undertaken to bring the original cast into the forefront of the story leading to ramifications that lead up to the next generation of Skywalkers."

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 14: Most boring threesome ever!

"Because, Hap, if any of my employees can't call me, they can send me an email that I'll be sure to see before they can complete hours of difficult technical work.  Barring that, they could consult Pepper or any of the many, many Stark employees that work at my multi-billion dollar corporation.  It's not like it's just you, me and a guy in a van."

The newspaper strip format affords such little space or time for any kind of rich visual or narrative texture, and so I find myself transfixed by the Parkers' decor in panel two.  The gold pitcher/bowl combo on the table, the tall, thin painting of squiggly lines -- were they gifts?  Are they mementos from a special shop they found together?  Did they find them in the trash?  I mean, who are these people?

"I called Tony Stark and he's gonna lend us another robot, see..."

"Wait, maybe I could be his psychiatrist!  Do psychiatrists take pictures of Spider-Man?  I'm really good at taking pictures of Spider-Man."

"That's too bad, lady.  By the way it's J. Jonah Jameson.  Three Js.  Jonah is actually his middle name, so it's J. Jonah Jameson like I said.  It stands for John."

And not the insufferable sociopath he loves!

Jameson holds Manbot more tenderly than he's held his wife in twenty years.  Manbot's eye slits stare back, dark and empty.

Comedic legend Harold Ramis dead at 69

From ew, Harold Ramis, the man behind films such as Groundhog Day and Caddyshack, died this morning from complications relating to auto-immune inflammatory vasculitis. Ramis had battled the condition for the past four years and was surrounded by family and friends in his Chicago home when he died. He was 69.

Ramis’ big break came in 1978, when he co-wrote National Lampoon’s Animal House, after which he went on to co-write Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Ghostbusters II. Ramis made his directorial debut with 1980′s Caddyshack, followed by National Lampoon’s Vacation. His most recent project was 2009′s Year One, which starred Jack Black and Michael Cera.

Ramis is survived by his wife, Erica, sons Julian and Daniel, daughter Violet, and two grandchildren.

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 13: Peter and MJ don't even get dressed!

We obviously just missed some weird motor-oily sex-in-the-shower scene.

It's fun if you pretend Brody is played by Woody Allen, especially when he says "No way, Mr. J!"

"Uh... you're going to fuck it?"

I guess you can claim anything is true if you say "Exactly!" first.

"Jesus, fine!  I'll do it.  Just stop sticking your hand out of the panel like that, it's freaking me out."

Jameson strides away with hilarious purposefulness

Peter lies around in his short terrycloth robe and talks about his feelings.

Terrific 'Godzilla' one-sheet

[Octo adds:  That does look damn cool, but I’m amusingly reminded of this...]

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 12: Tony Stark is going to get wicked sued

"Lady, I may be endangering your life right now, but I don't recall giving you 'Jonah' privileges."

The rarely seen second panel horizontal split!

"Plus I'll probably kill an innocent ice cream vendor.  Well, here goes!"

As Spidey and Manbot get near the van, it is revealed to be clown-van sized.

Spidey looks inside and realizes risking that man's life wasn't worth keeping his secret identity... or maybe he'll do that when he's done pumping his fist and saying "YES!" like a dork.

My mild amusement over the Manbot's feet sticking out like a dead Wizard of Oz  witch is quickly snuffed out by excessive spider-taint.

Well, now every one of MJ's coworkers know she's sleeping with Spider-Man.  Fortunately they all assume she's cheating on Peter.

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 11 - MANBOT fight enters third week!

Either that robot has a camera in its arm or it's yanking off more than Spidey's mask.

I am very dubious about the legitimacy of that patent.

Considering Spidey had time to hear that guy's comment and respond, I calculate the Manbot is flying at about the speed of a drifting balloon -- and apparently making as much noise, too.

"This was a much better idea than crashing into that glue factory!"

Brody must be watching the same camera feed, right?  So Jameson's contribution is to be someone's grandmother yelling at the TV.

Weekday Kaitlin makes a her contractual appearance before the less lippy and more revealingly-dressed Sunday Kaitlin steps in.

Reckless endangerment is all fun and games until it's you, I guess.
