I\u2019ve talked about having the 2nd part of various recent 2-parters from my youth, but this one\u2019s worse. For some reason, I had part 2 of this 4-part story, and that\u2019s it. Why? How? As usual, I don\u2019t remember. Maybe the issue itself will jog my memory. This one\u2019s by Tony Isabella, who\u2019s been floating around the background of the Spider-Office for awhile now on annuals and such. And so are the next 2, despite the original plan. So, Peter & Kristy are watching a performance artist named Spark who just sits on stage in the \u201cThinking Man\u201d pose. Peter doesn\u2019t get it, Kristy says he\u2019s awesome. Where is MJ? But then, Spark is interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oooooookay. Kristy is the only one in the room who likes the show, and Spark gets mad and storms off stage. This is apparently a fundraiser with an attached art exhibition. This feels like part 2 of a story, but not last issue\u2019s story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This is warming up to be a low grade parody of a Grant Morrison-type comic. I don\u2019t remember a word of this so far. At the art exhibit, Peter thinks to himself he brought Kristy here after she showed an interest in art last issue. Ok. He also sees a painting he apparently last saw way back in ASM 22 (We\u2019ll see it someday). Then some old ladies mistake Peter for one of the painters and get offended when he doesn\u2019t know anything about the exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not familiar with Colossus going by \u201cPeter Nicholas,\u201d but Wikipedia says he has. Not a big X-Men guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Uuuuuh\u2026 sure. The guy says they have to \u201cunleash the pain that makes them artists\u201d and turns Spark into something we can\u2019t see which horrifies \u201cBora.\u201d Back at the art show, all\u2019s forgiven and Peter is sketching Kristy while telling Peter he feels like he remembers Bora, but he has amnesia and isn\u2019t sure. Oh, really? When did that happen? As Colossus, he apparently met her in Moon Knight #35. The implication that Peter & Colossus look a lot alike is pretty odd. Anyway, suddenly there\u2019s screaming and people running in terror. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Given his excuse, Peter ducks out and Spider-Man soon appears. He & Spark mix it up for a couple of pages, Spark incorporating this into his \u201cperformance\u201d as he rants nonstop during the battle. Spidey is surprised to find Spark is really strong. He webs him to the floor, but it doesn\u2019t take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Painter, as I guess maybe he\u2019s called, tells Spark & Dora he\u2019ll let them be part of his masterpieces, but that they must be pure of purpose and serve art and various other things. Also he paints them into butler & maid costumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This is essentially Spider-Man starring in an issue of Grant Morrison & Richard Case\u2019s Doom Patrol. This feels very odd. I guess it will continue to do so next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
