BEN: Of what?
DUY: Of.... Peter and... Johnny's.... inextricable bond?
BEN: Johnny was the first Marvel character to get his own solo series, I think. Like you said before, it’s easy to forget how big the Fantastic Four was.
DUY: I just recently discovered Spideytorch is a thing.
BEN: I’d like to point out this comic was on the stands the same month as Amazing Spider-Man #121, one of the most important stories in comic book history. This comic is not one of the most important stories in comic book history.
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
BEN: I liked it when Johnny had the red costume.
DUY: As noted before, Spidey + Johnny is a great combination, and that ages well.
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
BEN: Um, no:
BEN: What?!?!?
DUY: Oh God, where do I start?? It's Samurai, not Samauri! Inu Neko means "Dogs and Cats"! Mimashipa is not a word! How short is that sword??
DUY: Why is the sound effect designed that way??
DUY: Iron Man being taken out of commission because this is a Torch issue is the height of contrivance.
DUY: This is not the configuration the Avengers were in in the previous issue, but whatever.
FAVORITE PANEL
BEN: Mine:
DUY: That's mine too.
WHO WON THE COMIC?
DUY: Not Asia! Again!
BEN: Irrationality wins the day.
DUY: That's it for Spider-Rama this week.
BEN: Thank you, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko—
DUY: —for telling us we aren't the only ones.
