“Obviously tons of people die every day, dozens in a city the size of New York alone. Maybe he’ll accept it when someone dies in a non-violent way, but what if it was preventable? What about accidents? Does it only count if it’s someone Spider-Man knows, or is in his direct line of sight? This is not explained. But for the past year or so, Spider-Man has vowed that “NO ONE DIES.” “
-Chris Eckert, from his hilarious look at Dan Slott’s depiction of Spider Man as a moral absolutist who has vowed to prevent death. Great stuff.
I particularly love the doctored panels that close the piece. The final one (shown above) gives us a Spider Man that could only exist in Steve Ditko’s fevered imagination…. “A is A!”
