  1. How sad this is that we as comic fans lose Peter’s really trusted friend at the Daily Bugle who even in the Spider-Man films showed he respecting the man who saved New Yorkers ever chance he got. You know what would be nice is if Marvel had the gusto to thank Bill Nunn for playing Robbie in those movies by having it a story about him in Amazing Spider-Man by him learning Peter’s secret and never have it be recon away! We knew he had his supposing days at times in Stan Lee’s run…so why the hell not!
