This Spidey\/Sandman team-up has been pretty enjoyable. Hard to resist an Odd Couple. We being with a flashback to Peter\u2019s principal trapped in that closet at the end of the Mysterio story. He\u2019s found by a janitor, who breaks his mop in half, kills the principle, and licks blood off the mop handle. Uh\u2026 ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, that was funny. What a nice change of pace. Well, they keep on driving for another page. Meanwhile, Papa Baker is informed his sentence got moved up to tonight, because they got word Sandman and Spider-Man are trying to stop his execution, so they figure they\u2019ll just kill him first, which really nails our so-called justice system. Floyd has the family hair, and also doesn\u2019t know his son, who he hasn\u2019t seen since he was a child, is the Sandman. And elsewhere, Flash is driving Betty home, not sure if he can believe her story, when she sees Ms. Arrow on the side of the road, waving her creepy long, thin Todd Nauck hand at her, and then their airbags deploy on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, what is going on? Remember how Flash got into his coma being forced to drunkenly crash a truck into a chemical plant? How does he even have a driver\u2019s license? Elsewhere, the helmet has led our heroes right back to Peter\u2019s high school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the principal. I thought it was the Uncle Ben guy. And it\u2019s not really the principal, he\u2019s still dead. Sandman incapacitates that guy, and he and Spider-Man argue about what to do, and Spidey notices a lot of spiders around. How many people are \u201cthe Other\u201d in this story? Then the guy busts out of Sandman\u2019s sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The shape changing villain throws the helmet out the window, where it rolls up to what\u2019shisname\u2019s van. Then the baddie swaps back to the principal and then to Uncle Ben as Peter figures out (With many leaps of logic) that he\u2019s the Chameleon of 2211. Ffffffffine. Lame.\u00a0Floyd Baker is being led to the proverbial gallows as they talk over it, with whoever the bad guy calls himself saying he has no idea who Floyd Baker is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What an unnecessarily convoluted story this is. Also Dr. Who reference on the wall there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what kind of justice to dispense earlier, Spider-Man told it \u201cpoetic\u201d because he didn\u2019t know what it was talking about. I can\u2019t believe this is a plot point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Boy these are some strangely-shaped people. Look at Papa Marko\u2019s tiny hands in panel 5! Look how stretched Sandman looks in panel 4. Yeesh. I was kind of grudgingly enjoying this one and they blew any goodwill they had with this absurd ending. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
