If I understand the delayed over dates on comics properly, In October of 2000, you could go to your local comic shop and buy 2 different comics with Spider-Man and Daredevil teaming up (Mysterio Manifesto 2 and SM\/DD 1), and THREE different comics where Spider-Man was under the effect of hallucinogens (MM 2, ASM 25, and PPSM 25). Also Sentry #5 featuring Spider-Man, just in case you weren\u2019t getting enough Spider-Man that month. Jack O\u2019Lantern recaps what\u2019s happening for a page, and then this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boy do I not care about yet another \u201cSpider-Man imagines another life\u201d Mysterio story. And, as Spider-Man takes out Doc Ock, thinking everything is too perfect and something is wrong, we see that the cover is correct in representing just HOW much it\u2019s like ASM 7<\/a> & 8<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does he keep doing this!? Why wouldn\u2019t he look under Spider-Man\u2019s mask!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know the Danny Berkhart Mysterio from way, way back in ASM 141<\/a>–142<\/a>. Man, remember those days? I genuinely miss them. Doing this newer stuff just isn\u2019t as fun. Reading those old comics felt like part archeology. These are just comics. Berkhart torments JJJ with some stupid illusions while Mad Jack talks nonsense at that silent Mysterio some more, blah blah blah. Then we get a look at DD\u2019s fantasy world\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In his perfect world, he\u2019s doing this. Wow. As Spidey and DD begin to realize their fantasies aren\u2019t real, the other Mysterio is still arguing with Bet\/sy, and then the heroes burst out of their tanks. Just A Guy Named Joe didn\u2019t even rate seeing his fantasy, poor guy. Mysterio flees, and the heroes are too out of it to give chase, but they also begin to notice something:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Elsewhere, Mysterio is taunting JJJ some more, saying Berkhart was just a robot, when the other burst in and Spider-Man punches Mysterio\u2019s bowl open, revealing JJJ inside, blah blah blah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nuke looks so happy to be there! Yes, it\u2019s the assembled rogues galleries of both heroes. And I\u2019m sure they\u2019re REALLY HERE and it\u2019s not just more pointless illusion garbage! Only one issue of this left\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
