****Special note, your eyes do not deceive you, we are skipping Spectacular Spider-Man #6 because it's a reprint of Marvel Team Up #3, an issue we reviewed and you can find in the archives**** Morbius is back, and he's got an appetite for Spider-Man!!! In an effort to lure him out, he kidnaps Glory Grant from The Daily Bugle office. Can Spidey get to her in time before she falls victim to the living vampire?
The battle rages on between Spider-Man, The Vulture and The Hitman (who may or may not be Bret Hart). How will this benefit Mr. Morgan? And how can Spidey deal with winter while only wearing his costume?
It's the middle of winter and the Vulture is not taking too kindly to being bullied by some new mob goons that have come to town. He's now at war with Mr. Morgan, and of course everyone's favourite webslinger gets involved. Vulture is so mad that he starts taking hostages!!! How will Spidey defuse this situation, especially once a mystery 3rd participant joins the fray?
At last, it is finally revealed, who is this new Green Goblin? How are they related to Harry Osborn? And what are Jameson's true feelings towards the potential death of Spider-Man? All this and some Robbie Robertson (Spider-Man's biggest fan) thoughts.
Spidey is stuck in a plastic bag by the Green Goblin. How will he get to Aunt May in time for her life saving surgery? The fight then continues later on at Radio City Music hall as Silvermane joins the fray. Also, revealed is the mystery of who has the Cobra Commander mask on?
Spidey faces the New York mafia while also dealing with the Green Goblin, who is trying to take them over. Aunt May has a turn for the worse. The only thing that can save her is a consent form that only Peter can sign. But he's too busy dealing with GG. Can he make it in time to save his beloved aunt?
Can Spidey save Flash Thompson from going through the window? If he can he better hurry up, because the Green Goblin is trying once again to take over the mob. Silverman is back... somehow and this leads to a big confrontation between GG and the silver fox. Can Spider-Man stop them, or does he even care at this point?
Right after saving J Jonah Jameson's ungrateful ass, Peter has to deal with a bigger issue; Aunt May is once again in the hospital. And to make matters worse, the Green Goblin has returned and attacks Peter's "friend", Flash Thompson. How can one Spider handle so much chaos?
The Hitman got away!!! How will Spidey and The Punisher save Jonah from the evil terrorist group? Also, is that really Bret Hart under the Hitman mask?
The Hitman has a new target in his sights.... J Jonah Jameson!!! Luckily for him though, Spider-Man and The Punisher are both trying to stop The Hitman from fulfilling his contract. But can the 2 heroes get along long enough to save Jonah, or is the publisher doomed?!?!?! Listen to find out!
We continue The Molten Man's saga for a cure this week. After Liz failed to get old Molty the medicine he needed, Raxton started to looking for it himself. But after his plans go terribly south, only Spider-Man can stop him before he kills a bunch of innocent people.
Rocket Racer rockets into his 1st appearance!! But that's not all we get this issue, Spidey has to face off with old "hot headed" foe from his past. And it all ends on a cliffhanger that there is no way that the web slinger could survive.
We didn't do part 1, but we'll be doing part 2 of this story!!! Nova and Spider-Man have to solve a murder mystery. Yes, it's basically Marvel Team Up, Clue edition!!!
This week, Spider-Man is under the control of Dr. Faustus and ends up helping him break into a top secret lab. Can the web slinger snap out of it in time?
We're not sure how he did it, but Kraven has found his way onto the show and just won't go away!!! Well while he's here we may as well get his thoughts on Wrestlemania XXXIX, just don't expect anything PC or to not get offended, because Kraven offends EVERYBODY!!!
On this episode of Web Tales, Jonah has some secret photos of Spidey with a dead Peter Parker. Does he know the secret? Also this issue, how are the super henchmen hired? Is it an agency you call?
This episode, we find out a little bit more about Will O The Wisp and why he is doing these crimes seemingly reluctantly . Also, will Jonah be successful with his new Spider-Slayer?
What happens when you upset a group of senior citizens? You get Aunt May : The Protester!! See how she courageously fights for justice and fair treatment for the inhabitants in her building and isn't taking no crap from no one!! Oh and there's also some stuff about Spidey fighting a guy called Will O The Wisp and Jonah in a new Spider-Slayer.
Peter takes a little trip to San Francisco to clear up his head after Gwen's death (yeah we're a little behind). While there, he runs into Werewolf by Night who stalks him from the Golden Gate Bridge all the way to a diner. But the Werewolf is not acting of his own volition. Who is controlling the beast and why are they forcing it to attack the web head?
Lizard is very mad at Stegron, well he did kidnap his son and all. Good thing Spider-Man is there to help him out (or get in his way depending on who you're asking). Can the Wall Crawler stop the 2 lizard men from killing each other?
We get a sorta new villain this week with Stegron, the Dinosaur Man! So what would an anthropomorphic Stegosaurus look like? Very strange to say the least.
This issue is very... illuminating! We get the first appearance of The Lightmaster this issue! We find out the identity of The Rider (as Taranty would call him) and we also get Peter with sunglasses.
The Tarantula is back and this time he has an unlikely partner: Kraven The Hunter. How can Spider-Man stop both villains!!! Luckily, the K-Man and Taranty don't like each other very much, so some comedy will ensue from their interactions.
We here at Web Tales love to try out new things, and this week we're jumping into a whole new series, Spectacular Spider-Man!!! And who better as a villain for Spidey to face than the deadly Tarantula (actually there's a lot of better villains)!!! Can the Web Slinger stop Taranty from kidnapping the entire city council?
The Kingpin has successfully drained Spider-Man's life essence and brought his son Richard back to life!! But what of the web slinger, will he even be able to survive the night after this? And where does Dr. Connors fit in with all this?
We're back from our holiday hiatus to bring you back the worderful world of Spider-Man comics. This week, the Kingpin returns and he's after Spidey, but he doesn't want him dead, but he does not necessarily want him happy either. Listen to find out what Mr. K wants with the web slinger. Also if you didn't know, we're now on Youtube. So if you want to see us go through the issues, please follow us on our account Pop4d. A lot of fun content will be coming your way in 2023.
They said it couldn't be done but we did it, 200 episodes of Web Tales!! To celebrate, we decide to get officer Logan to take a day off of work and drop by so we could each discuss our top 10 Spider-Man villains. None of us consulted each other, so our surprises at each others choices are genuine. So come join us for this celebration and discussion and let's continue on this journey for the next 100 episodes!!!
The Vulture is back, but this time he sounds French and likes to hang out in clocks. And in part 2, Spidey battles shadows and it takes him way too long to figure out he should be using a flashlight.
In this episode we get another couple of Z class villains for animated Spidey to fight. In part 1, he has to deal a variant costume from the PS4 game. And in part 2, we got a dude in a purple costume that shoots sticky stuff. The stuff of legends people!!
