"No More Mister Nice Fly!"
PAGE 1
Panel 1: Spider-Man is web swinging high above NYC.
Spider-Man (Thoughts): I can't believe it...there's nothing going on! Not even a mugging for me to practice my fundamentals.
Panel 2: Spider-Man flips through the air as he lets go of one web-line and shoots another.
SM (Thoughts): Well, I guess I'll just head home. Maybe if I hurry, I can still catch Jeopardy with Aunt May. I'll take 'A Quiet Night At Home for 1000, Alex'--
Panel 3: Behind shot of Spider-Man swinging over the city streets. We see that his spider-sense is tingling, and on the street below we see an overturned van. There are cop cars around the van with their lights flashing.
SM (Thoughts):--or not. Just when you think you'll get a relaxing night for once, that's when the ol' spider-sense will kick in. I swear, every time. It's like extrasensory clock work.
Panel 4: In the background, Spider-Man lands on a street light, we see the webline he just used dangling behind him. In the foreground, we see the overturned van and cops approaching it cautiously with their firearms drawn.
COP: Come out of the van with your hands up! We have you surrounded!
Panel 5: Cut to The Human Fly exiting a large hole in the roof of the overturned van and carrying several white bags. The hole in the van looks like it has been melted. The Human Fly is blocking the cops gunfire with his giant fly wings, the bullets bounce right off.

Panel 1: Spider-Man swings down on a webline and kicks The Human Fly in the face which causes him to drop his bags.
SM: The Human Fly? I thought you were gonna be on the new season of Celebrity Rehab?
Panel 2: The Human Fly starts flying away from Spider-Man and towards the still shooting cops. We see Spider-Man chasing him in the foreground. The bullets are flying at both The Human fly and the pursuing Spider-Man.
The Human Fly: Very funny, Spider-Man!
SM: Hey thanks, that's not really a comeback, but I'll take what I can get--hold your fire, you almost gave me a three hole punch!
Panel 3: The Human Fly swoops down and grabs one of the cops.
THF: Shut up, Spider-Man! Shut up with your incessant babbling!
SM(Off Panel): Incessant?
Panel 4: The Human Fly is now beating his fly wings and hovering over the street as he uses the cop as a human shield. Spider-Man flips into the air and sticks to a nearby wall. We see this as a series of acrobatic images, almost like an animation.
SM: That's a big word for an insect with a brain the size of a grain of sand! I don't know if I'd call what I do "incessant" though...maybe "scintillating", or "whimsical", dare I say "humorous", perhaps one could call it "penetrating wit"--
THF: Enough! Shut your webbed face for one second!
Panel 5: Close up on The Human Fly holding the cop and using him as a human shield. We see that The Human Fly's mouth is dripping with green acid. A drop has fallen on the cop's shoulder and it's burning him. Smoke is rising from his melting uniform.
THF: Now, here's what's going to happen. You let me fly away, or I'll melt this cop's face off!
Panel 6: Cut to a close up of Spider-Man on the wall.
SM: Interesting proposal! Allow me to present you with a counter-proposal...
PAGE 3:
Panel 1: Behind shot of Spider-Man lunging through the air at The Human Fly and rapidly shooting balls of webbing at his face with both hands. Some of them cover The Human Fly's mouth and he drops the cop.
SM:...I beat you up and send you to prison, where the other inmates will probably beat you up again!
THF: Mmmmph!
COP: Ahhhhhhh!
Panel 2: Spider-Man pivots in mid-air and shoots a webbing net to catch the cop. We see The Human Fly hovering in the background and ripping webbing off his face.
SM: Alley-oop!
Panel 3: Close up on the cop landing safely in a webbing net.
Panel 4: Spider-Man fires a webline and twists out of the way while The Human Fly vomits acid at him. We see Spider-Man's spider-sense is tingling.
SM: Woah, are you kidding me?
Panel 5: Behind shot of Spider-Man swinging around The Human Fly and spraying webbing all over his wings.
SM: That is the most disgusting superpower I've ever seen! Well, except maybe the Blob, super-obesity is pretty gross...
THF: My wings...what are you doing to my wings?!
Panel 6: Ground level shot of The Human Fly falling onto the hood of a cop car and practically totalling it.
THF:...ow.
Page 4:
Panel 1: In the foreground, we have a third person view of The Human Fly hopping off the cop car and extending his wings. They rip through the webbing. In the background, Spider-Man swings onto the ground.
THF: Alright, that's it! No more Mister Nice Fly!
SM: Ha! Not bad! See, was it so hard to lighten up?
Panel 2: Cut to a behind shot of Spider-Man ducking a punch from The Human Fly as he punches the villain in the stomach.
SM: Not that it will help you...
Panel 3: Close up of Spider-Man punching The Human Fly in the face.
SM:...but I appreciate the effort at a little levity!
Panel 4: Pull out to show The Human Fly on his hands and knees. He is defeated. The cops are approaching now. Spider-Man is standing there scratching his head and looking at the van.
SM: Now maybe you'll stop bugging these cops...sorry, that was terrible, I can do better, give me a sec...say, what are you stealing anyway?
Panel 5: Close up on Spider-Man walking up to the overturned van and examining it. We see that the side of the van reads, "Tasty McSweety's Sugar Company est 1927". The white bags The Human Fly dropped are spilling sugar all over the pavement.
SM: Sugar? You were stealing bags of sugar?
PAGE 5:
Panel 1: Close up on The Human Fly on the ground and the cops approaching him.
THF: Yes, okay? I was stealing bags of sugar! You don't know what it's like to be afflicted with the characteristics of a fly.
Panel 2: Close up on the cops pulling The Human Fly to his feet. They are about to take him away.
THF: I crave the stuff! I need it! I was gonna go straight, but I needed one last hit of that sweet sugary goodness, just one more...
Panel 3: Close up on Spider-Man.
SM: You're gonna get 5 to 10 years for armed meta-human robbery...because of stealing sugar...
THF(Off Panel): Oh come on! I can't help myself...it's encoded in my fly DNA! It's not fair!
SM2: You swear you were going to get clean after this?
Panel 4: Cut to the cops taking The Human fly away, they are trying to put him into the backseat of a cop car but he is struggling.
THF: Yes, I swear! There was even talk of me joining the Great Lakes Avengers! Call Squirrel Girl, she'll vouch for me!
Panel 5: Cut to a third person shot of Spider-Man webbing up the cops before they can put The Human Fly into the cop car.
COP1: Hey what are you doing?!
COP2: Are you crazy? You're letting him get away!
Panel 6: Close up on The Human Fly shaking Spider-Man's hand. He looks extremely grateful.
THF: Thank you so much!
SM: Everyone deserves a second chance, even The Human Fly. Just don't let me down, okay? I don't want to catch you stealing a truck of jelly donuts in a week.
Panel 7: Spider-Man is swinging away towards the camera. In the background, we see The Human Fly flying away in the other direction.
THF: You won't regret this, Spider-Man!
SM: I better not!
SM(Thoughts): Maybe I can still catch Final Jeopardy...
