Michael Bailey need not be embarassed about singing on the podcast. Peter Parker does it far more embarassingly…and far more naked as Randy and Glory find out on the next page. Paul Jenkins had a habit of having people walk in on Peter naked in his apartment. Caryn did it later in his run.

podcast77The spider-panel answers your dozens of message board questions in this show. Some of the highlights include; "What villain most needs a makeover?," "What if Emily Osborn came back to live?" and "If an ongoing Norman Osborn book would work?" Also a big thanks to George for the "Oscorn" image. I love it.

kaineasm608A preview image was posted at the recent Toronto comic con. A certain slide got a ton of Clone Saga fans to drool. I think the last time we saw Kaine in the 616 universe he was going after Baby May. Was that correct? Thanks to spidertour02 for the heads up.

The issue: Spectacular Spider-Man issue 204. The circumstance: Harry used his will to mess with Peter some more so Peter thinks Harry is alive. Peter’s smart idea: To tell his grieving widow. The results: Well look at Liz’s face and see for yourself.

In all fairness to Peter, we did find out he was right in 2007.

REVIEW DOUBLE FEATURE!
 
After losing the first draft in a computer glitch weeks ago, I considered skipping Uncanny X-Men #514 and resuming my coverage of Marvel’s crossover with Dark Avengers #8. However, since understanding Dark Avengers requires having read X-Men, and since I know some of you only follow this plot through the reviews, I went ahead and combined both reviews into one mega-post. Lean back, put the kids to sleep, and enjoy. Remember to leave a comment!

Some didn’t like "Secret Wars II" or the way it disrupted all the Marvel titles. Although it was excessive, if it wasn’t for the series we never would’ve been able to see Peter Parker toilet train the Beyonder. One of the odder moments of his life.
