Feels like The Trapster has appeared on this blog 100% more than he should have. What is this, like 7 appearances now? He\u2019s the bottom of the barrel of Fantastic Four villains, why do I have to keep looking at him in Spider-Man comics? This month, Todd DeZago & Gregory Wright have a fill-in art team, and it ain\u2019t good! Josh Hood and John Lowe are here to try to convince you they\u2019ve seen what humans beings look like, but I am unconvinced. The cover by Yancy Labat is not representative. As we begin someone (The Trapster) is beating up 2 guys apparently sent to beat him up or something. I dunno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woof. That cop looks like he\u2019s inflating. The next day, at The Bugle, Peter and JJJ are arguing about whether Spider-Man was responsible for torturing those guys. You can imagine how that\u2019s going, but you can\u2019t imagine what it looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I mean, this is\u2026 horrendous. Also, Peter looks more like Lance Bannon. His hair even looks red outta nowhere. Why is Ben the first desk outside JJJ\u2019s office? He doesn\u2019t have a secretary anymore? And where\u2019s Robbie in all this? Later, Trapster sees The Bugle blaming Spider-Man for his crimes and gets 3 whole pages to rant about how it\u2019s not fair and he\u2019s a \u201cmaster of trapping\u201d and he\u2019s gonna be huge and blah blah blah, who cares? Trapster sucks, the art sucks, Todd DeZago is the weakest writer on the team. This is the definition of filler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All this AND this yutz draws the webbing on Spider-Man\u2019s face wrong. Permission to treat this issue as hostile, you honor. Spider-Man follows a trail of Trapster\u2019s victims around town to the scene of him beating up some hood who works for the previous mentioned Gavin Thorpe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ugh. Trapster leads Spidey into a warehouse he\u2019s completely filled with glue and \u201clubricant\u201d-based traps, and eventually Spider-Man\u2019s luck runs out, and he falls into a vat of goop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So now we\u2019re gonna Batman \u201866 this. I guess I\u2019ve owned this issue since it came out, but I don\u2019t remember it in the slightest. Trapster leaves, because a villain is required to do so when setting a giant deathtrap. Spider-Man shoots a web over a girder in the ceiling in an arc that sticks it to the generator, so that when it falls, he yanks him out of the way. Ok, sure. It took Trapster like 6 pages to set this up and Spider-Man gets free in just one. Fill. Er.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aunt Anna, I am so sorry they did this to you. You don\u2019t deserve it. How does this comic keep getting uglier? The next day, Peter is once again telling JJJ he\u2019s got it wrong, but that goes as well as it always does before Jonah throws a curveball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wait, what??? This issue leads right into what I happen to know is a 3-part Savage Land story and The Trapster just\u2026 gets away? That is insane! The cover said \u201cTHE FINAL TRAP!\u201d He didn\u2019t even\u2026 Uuuggggghhhhhh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
