Well, I'm always thankful for a random-ass comic, so why not? From 2011,
Spider-Man: Marvel Adventures #19, "Going Cosmic!" Written by J.M. DeMatteis, art by Clayton Henry.
It's a bit of a
Freaky Friday, as Spidey finds himself careening through space on the Silver Surfer's board, and the Surfer finds himself passed out under a park bench in Central Park. A young fan finds the amnesiac Surfer and tries to help him out, while the suddenly-soliloquizing Spidey comes face-to-giant face with
Sinistar Primordius, an angry cosmic tentacle-thing. While eating a hot dog, the Surfer remembers what happened to him: a cosmic probe tried to drain his energy, but as Spidey happened by he got the power cosmic. So it follows...maybe the Surfer got Spidey's webs? And they'll have to combine into a "
Spider-Surfer?" Sure, why not! I am a sucker for other heroes borrowing Spider-Man's webs, since Doctor Strange did it way back in
Marvel Team-Up #21.
In defeat, Primordius admits his grudge against the Surfer: he had been a herald of Galactus himself, before the Surfer, but had displeased Galactus and was sent away. Spinning him in a webline, the Surfer throws him out, to consider changing his ways; and he and Spidey have dinner with their fan and her mom. (This wasn't 616-continuity, but I suspect Galactus tried other means before settling on heralds; Primordius could have been a drone above his station.)
Also this issue: "The Hundred-Story Hunt" Written by Sean T. Collins, art by Pere Perez. A pleasant afternoon enjoying a slice, is interrupted by Kraven the Hunter, who chases Spidey all over an office building. Injured, Spidey armors up with...office supplies? With which he proceeds to clown Kraven; gotta spice up those fights sometimes.
No Mini-Marvels strip this time; that's mildly disappointing.
Hmm, seems like a nice, one & done by a master of psychology like DeMatesis. Love that line by Spidey about Surfer spouting philosophical lines like a low-rent Hamlet. Not sure if that wasn't also a nice little soft jab made in fun about not only the Surfer, but particularly how Stan always wrote him.
ReplyDeleteSpider-Surfer huh? Shit, does that mean we could see a ML figure of this at some point in the near future?
Also, how funny but humiliating for Kraven is it to get beaten up by office supplies & furniture? Ha.
