Marvel's Spider-Man Steals, Then Burns Manga (SpiderSpoilers)

And nothing for a superhero comic, or a traditionally published American comic book collection. Individually, per month, comics often sell more than manga in the US, but not in bookstores, not outside of the comic shop. So, of course, this means war. And in today's Amazing Spider-Man #15, it means taking it to the streets. And a newsstand that stocks manga on the streets of New York, turned into a monster by the Dark Web Inferno, and attacking Spider-Man. No subtext there, then.

With Ramen Ninja Vol 17, a Naruto reference there. And Spider-Man first stealing that manga.

…before setting fire to it in an attempt to ward off a possessed Venom by making the very Christmas trees scream.

Well, that volume looks thick enough to keep burning for some time. Unlike Amazing Spider-Man #15 which would probably last a few seconds at that heat… gotta say though, that Ed McGuinness does draw a very cool looking Spidey.
