- Spider-Man gets sick of J.Jonah Jameson's mouth and attacks him, giving the man a heart attack
Oddities
- After all the times Spider-Man has been accused, and subsequently cleared his name, why do the police think for a minute he's working with Kingpin?
- A police officer starts randomly shooting at Spider-Man as he's swinging across the sky - I guess there's now rules and regulations (or concern for public safety) for officers discharging their firearms in the Marvel Universe - Shoot first, ask questions later
- Spider-Man gets close enough to the shooting officer to swat the gun from his hands, but doesn't give him the tablet that he's carrying? You know, the one he's carrying around causing the police to think he's in league with Kingpin - Seems like that simple gesture could have cleared things up on page six of the story
- The dean of the college says he thinks students were better seen and not heard...Wow, what admirable qualifications for the dean of a state university
- Spider-Man, who again is being accused of stealing the tablet with Kingpin, has a get rich quick scheme to be the first to decipher the ancient script...By way of deciding to take it to someone more experienced with doing so - Where to start? Um...Wouldn't the person he takes it to know it was stolen? Wouldn't the person he takes it to know Spider-Man is wanted for being supposedly in cahoots for stealing it? Why would said guy also decipher it for him and then let Spider-Man take the credit for it? So many questions for such a dumb plot point
- More police start discharging their firearms wildly in the streets, missing Spider-Man with every shot...Where are those bullets going? How many innocents were killed during this incident?
