Spidey Adventures!

Tonight was Marvel night, so we read Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #1. Spider-Man was looking for a New York Supreme Court judge that was actually in the mob's payroll. The story was being narrated by Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's ex-girlfriend, whose father is a police Captain.

She was interviewing people to learn more about Spider-Man, for a school paper. People told him a lot of different things about Spidey, mostly crazy stuff, like him being a robot, an alien, or an immortal being.

Spider-Man's had a plan, his new girlfriend called the cops and the reporters, and he attacked the place where the mobsters had the judge holed up. He pretended to be injured while fighting the bad guys, and provoked the judge into grabbing a gun and coming after him. That's when he lead them all to the door, and into the hands of the cops.

This was a nice issue, great art, and nice characters. Thank you all for reading.

Professor Dinosaur out!

Secret Wars!

Oh yes it's Marvel night! And we read Spider-Man & The Secret Wars #1. Spidey and other heroes were taken to a planet where they had to fight, because there were villains too.

The villains destroyed the good guys' headquarters, and Molecule Man dropped a mountain on them, because he can control matter. Hulk was angry, so he held the mountain from crushing the heroes. In the end, they got out because Mr. Fantastic managed to supercharge Iron Man's armor with the help of Human Torch and Captain Marvel (the girl one).

My favorite part in this book was when Iron Man's repulsor broke them out of the mountain, and my favorite character was Captain Marvel.

Good night,
Professor Dinosaur

With Great Power...

Today we read Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #1, we learned about how Peter Parker was mutated by a spider bite. He fought in a wrestling match with his new powers, and he let a criminal escape. Then he got home, and found out his uncle had been killed.

He went after the guy who killed his uncle, and realized it was the same guy he'd let escape. Peter learned that if you're very powerful, you must be very responsible. The part I liked better was the wrestling match.

Bye bye!
Professor Dinosaur

Dad's Note: Wow, this was an awful Spider-Man comic... The Professor said he wanted to read Spider-Man, so I thought it'd be good to start here, instead of with the classic #1... but the art is horrible, the dialogues are dry, and Peter Parker has blue eyes instead of the brown eyes he should have. Next time he wants Spider-Man, we'll go with something else... Not Ultimate, that's too... decompressed... I think Spider-Man & The Secret Wars or something like that.
