Well. don’t oversell it or anything. Sam De La Rosa is onboard for finishes over Tom Lyle’s pencils this month. Judas Traveller is still showing Peter (In the Scarlet Spider suit) the horrible future he will allegedly cause, which takes up a 2nd 2-page spread to sell.
Our man sees MJ alive in their building, but he can’t reach it. Doofus Traveller appears out of smoke and tells him MJ and the baby survive the catastrophe, which Peter could have prevented/can prevent, but wouldn’t/won’t. Then he takes them back to the present.
Blah blah blah. There’s no weight to a threat like this. What, like Marvel Comics would let their entire line take place in a wasteland forever? It’s too big to be taken seriously. Anyway, we cut to Jacob Raven going to 1 Police Plaza to tell easily forgotten Detective Connor Trevaine they got the wrong man. No one there has seen “The mark of Kaine” on his face yet. How long is it meant to have been since ASM 400? Been at least a couple of days since he got this wound, and he’s been running around with Stunner as opposed to recovering or something. Why’s he only just now getting around to this? Anyway…
Scrier shows up to once again caution Traveller to chill out, and to imply he’s more than just an underling. Peter goes and wakes up MJ, still unconscious from last issue, to tell her everything’s gonna be ok, and then he’s off to fight Judas Traveller’s touring funk band.
Man these guys are lame. Spidey fights his way through them with little difficulty, as he should, before finding Chakra’s physical body and kicking her unconscious. Then the members of The Revolution all start staring in awe…
Wwwwwwwhatever, dude! As Traveller is sucked into this whatzit, his life flashes before his eyes (Which is not going to add up later), showing him at all the horrible things he’s been to looking for “the nature of evil” or whatever over the centuries, from Nazis and the Salem witch trials (Did he see Spider-Man there?) to even the crucifixion of Christ, always wearing that ridiculous Hulk Hogan mustache. Then Peter just pulls him out of it. Yoink! He gets a taste of some of Travellers dumb memories and it’s very painful &etc., but he just pulls him out. No big deal. And with his glimpse into Traveller’s mind comes…
The end. Sadly not the last we’ll see if Judas Traveller & The Funky Bunch. Join us next time as we get the inside scoop on the terrible and short-lived new Green Goblin.
