This one is less funny, and more genuinely sad. In a series of words you would never expect to read together, there exists a comic centered around child abuse that contains a story where Peter Parker was groomed as a child. It’s precisely as heartbreaking as you would expect.

If it was just a unique plot line for Spider-Man? Then it would be literally one of the worst things to have ever come out of humanity's ability to hold pens and pencils. But mercifully, this isn’t the case – as the comic also contains several other stories about children’s experiences with the worst kinds of adult.

Although it’s dark as hell, making sure the kids who read Spider-Man know that things of that nature are messed up, and that they should get help if anything happens to them is a truly noble cause.
