Oddities

• Spider-Man and Moon Knight meet for the first time, and of course they introduce themselves with fists instead of words...The Marvel way!
• I'm a little confused by the timeline here. Peter says he has school the next day, but Betty Brant is already back in town - These events seem to take place both before and after The Amazing Spider-Man 185
