Whtas goin on guys welcome to Comic Island, my name is joey and today we are reviewing and recapping the spider verse team up issue 2. Ok so similar to the spider verse team up issue 1, we also got 2 different story lines in play here. In the first story line, we go way back to, what I believe to be, the very first Spider-Man animated TV show. I never watched this version before but I am familiar with the show and how cheesy it is. So for the readers that have watched this animated TV show, this is like a trip down memory lane, pure nostalgia. But what I really enjoyed was the comedic timing of the young Spider-Man, who is taken right out of his tv show ultimate Spider-Man. This show, I do watch from time to time. It’s funny how the show is currently going through their own version of the Spider-Verse with this young peter parker being the main leader. If you’re enjoying the Spider-Verse and haven’t watched this TV show yet, I highly recommend checking out the Spider-Verse story arc in the ultimate Spider-Man TV show. Instead of Morlun and the inheritors, we got Norman Osborne as the green goblin traveling the multiverse with the help of electro.

Ok so the second story was very interesting. We got a peter parker that took on the hobgoblin identity after his Gwen Stacy dies. We know parker to be such a boy scout so it’s just very entertaining when we see him turn to the dark side and starts killing people. This incarnation shows us what would happen to parker if he killed green goblin and left his Spider-Man identity behind. I actually started to really like this guy but then Verna got to him. Damn you damn slot. You giveth and then you taketh away.
Ok this was a short issue that doesn’t have an everlasting impact on the Spider-Verse story. I kind of had an idea of what I was getting myself into so having said that, I really enjoyed this issue. But I want to know what you think about the spider verse team up issue 2. And so this is my question for you. How long do you think the 80’s Spider-Man would last in the Spider-Verse? Would he be quick meat for the inheritors or could he be the breakout star? Please let me know in the comments below.
