I never had the Spider-Man cereal from the 1990s. I want to try it. I also never had a single Hostess Fruit Pies either. I want to try them. I've never had Rice-A-Roni but I want to try it. They can't just call it the San Francisco Treat if it's no good! This is going very far for a joke that wasn't very good to begin with so let's all put this out of our memory and talk about three more Spider-Man stories from the 1990s.
Spectacular Spider-Man #212 by Mike Lackey and Sal Buscema is not a very good issue. It has some Z-List 90s nobody villain fight Spider-Man. He's got a goofy costume with two Vs on it (He's known as the Master of Vengeance) and I really thought this was a dire issue. He goes on and on about how Spider-Man created him and how he's his father and how he hates him because he drove his family away even though it was his fault not Spider-Mans. There's a reason this guy appeared in 3 stories and hasn't been seen since 1995. He's just one of many 90s losers that have no real charm in appearance or character. Forget about this one unless you love 90s stuff, Maybe you'll get something out of it. I didn't. D-/Not Recommended
I love it when heroes fight other heroes villains. It always a fun time to see it get mixed up. Spectacular Spider Man #213 and #214 Spider Man ends up fighting Typhoid Mary, a gal that usually fights Daredevil. Typhoid Mary is killing abusers of women and Spider-Man has to stop her because he's not a big fan of the murder thing. There's nothing ground breaking about these two issues but it's a fun story and I can't really say more than I enjoyed it. B+
It's kinda sad that a enjoyable story with some neat drama and all that is put into two pretty bad stories. This story is a bit better than The Master of Fuck-All story. This story has The Scorpion team up with some old fat guy to rob the old fat guys stores because the old fat guy thinks his son is going to take everything from him. Spider-Man fights some guys and then ends up hitting the old guy and everyone is shocked. Then he finds Mac Gargan outside of his Scorpion suit and literally beats him up. That just didn't feel like Spider-Man to me. It was like they were trying for the Pursuit storyline again with him being really angry but man it didn't work here. Also a weird garbage sewage sludge monster makes Spider-Man calm again. No I didn't make that up. Look here it is.
I don't know where this weird garbage sewage sludge monster came from but uhh. I hope it was explained in some other Marvel Comic and just didnt pop out of nowhere.. I will say that I enjoyed the Sal Buscema art and the scenes where the Scorpion gets to be Mac Gargan again but other than that yikes. Tom Defalco, Mike Lackey and Sal Buscema did this story and it's bit of a mess. D-
Next time we jump on over to Web of Spider-Man to try to talk about the stories that happened in that book before the Clone showed up! Golly gee I can't wait!
