Interesting Tidbit Volume 2 #4: Thanks to my muffin-loving friend Will, I caught the vintage references within this issue, concerning Skrull-aptain America’s memories. THE AVENGERS #14, a part of the legendary Roger Stern/John Byrne run, and FANTASTIC FOUR #19, both issues released in 1985 are alluded to. Ah, She-Hulk! What a wonderful addition to the Fantastic Four! Thanks Will! You are so handy for obscure references that no one else could possibly know…and you make good muffins too!

Thoughts from The Abstract on episode 4 of The Spectacular Spider-Man. How can Pete juggle helping Harry with school, helping Aunt May with bills, all while fighting an old foe in a new set of duds? All questions will be answered.

Plot: The Big Man commissions The Shocker to take out the webhead for good, citing him as a thorn in his side. On the other side of things, Harry commissions Peter to help him with some school work, and of course his two lives interfere with each other, making it harder for Peter to keep his friends as long as Spider-Man is needed.

Review: I hate when this happens. I get into something and completely forget to mention something that will probably be important later on. Like, how many times do you see movies where the narrator mentions a plot point and the camera focuses on it for so long that it hurts your intelligence? That’s what I meant to do. So, here it is: Every three episodes in this series is an arc, so the three episodes that connect have titles that coincide with a school subject. The first three (Survival of the Fittest, etc.) were Biology. The second set starts with Market Forces, so for those of you keeping score at home, we’ll have a quiz when I get to episode 6 to see who figured out the school subject these three episodes covered, and how it ties into the series. OK, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s move on. Read the rest of this entry »

Back in 1998 I started a website called the Spider-Man Crawl Space, and who knew I’d still be with it this long. And back in 2006 we started a little podcast and thousands of listeners later, it too is going strong. We blow out the birthday candles on this show. We also discuss topics like the latest “Brand New Day” issues, why fans are so fascinated with sales numbers, if Ultimate Peter and Mary Jane should do the horizontal mambo, and the upcoming Venom movie. As if that weren’t enough we take live callers. It’s a fun romp and we celebrate in style!
