Hey everyone!
It's me, Kamran Lucas.
Today, I have the honor of reading
to you all Marvel Superhero Adventures: Web of Intrigue!
The More the Merrier.
On Manhattan's East side, by the docks, Spider-man's swinging in
and he sees an abandoned warehouse.
He says, "Yeah, this probably isn't a trap."
As he lands, he says Just a distress signal
tuned to my spider-sense, leading me
straight to an abandoned warehouse by the docks."
Yeah, yeah that's probably fine.
Then one of his web-slinging buddies, Miles Morales,
comes around he says, "Hey, Pete!
Is this a trap? " After him, we see
Ghost-Spider and Spider-Girl and they're like,
"Of course it's a trap.
How could this not be a trap?"
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little insulted.
I mean, at least put in some effort."
Spider-man is like, "Well, y'know setting traps is hard."
Speaking of traps, we then hear in the distance
"Welcome Spider-man.
We have been expecting you."
Spider-man is like, "Oh no.
I think it's a trap."
In the distance, we hear "Prepare to enter
the web of The Sinister Six!"
We see Sandman, Mysterio, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter,
Doc Ock, and Electro.
Sandman says, "Wait a second, why is there more than one
Spider-person?"
Mysterio is like, "They must be an illusion!"
But Vulture says to Mysterio, "Not everything
is an illusion, guy."
Sandman then says, "Yeah, but usually it takes six
of us just to beat one of them.
And even then, we don't usually win, so,"
Then they get in the huddle.
Miles Morales is like, "Are they Huddling?"
Spider-man yells from afar, "Hey, do you guys
need a minute, or?"
Out of nowhere a Mysterio throws down a cloud of smoke.
[FOOOOSH] (ECHOING) "We shall return!"
Electro's like, "Gah, I hate smoke.
Why can't we just leave?"
Several moments later, and I'm talking several moments later,
Mysterio returns and says (ECHOING) "Brave of you
to remain, heroes, but foolish!
For now you face the combined might
of The Sinister Seventeen!
I mean, The Sinister Eighteen!"
Even though Venom's like (SPOOKY)
"We think it's Nineteen?"
We see Scorpion, Hydro-Man, the Swarm, Spot, the Clam,
Razorback, Hobgoblin, the Lizard, Beetle, Stegron,
Rhino, Molten Man, and Venom.
Spider-Man's like, "Uh, should I feel bad that I
can't remember all of you.
The Clam's like, "How dare you forget the face
of your nemesis, the Clam.
Spider-Man is like, "Oh, right.
Hey, Clam.
Anyone want to fight the Clam?"
But Miles Morales is too busy just completely
enamored by these two super-villains
We see Stegron and the Swarm, he's like "Whoa.
A dinosaur!
And is a guy covered in bees?
The Swarm says, "I am bees!"
"Hey, get a load of this guy!
He is made of bees!"
Then Mysterio says (ECHOING) "At least we are evenly matched!"
Ghost-Spider points out "Wait a second,
you guys know that there's four of us.
And six times four is 24, right? (LAUGHING) Not 19?
You're not that bad at math, are you?"
Mysterio's flustered and he's like "I uh you see, we uh.
How was I supposed to know?
Aren't you a scientist?
I have a ball on my head!
I can't count everybody!"
Sandman says "Wait, and who's paying us for this?"
Mysterious responds with (ECHOING)
"Revenge is our payment."
But Electro's like, "Yeah, but you said,"
and the Clam's confused because "The Clam
needs to pay his rent."
"But who is this guy the Clam."
(ECHOING) "Look, it was short notice
and I had to take who I could find!"
The Clam says "How dare you insult the Clam?
Taste the cold brine of my wrath!"
Mysterio says "Taste my illusions!"
But Molten Man's like "Smoke is not an illusion, dude!
You're just making smoke!"
"You said we'd be fighting Thor!"
says Stegron.
So as our super villains are occupied fighting each other,
Spider-Man is like "Hey, you guys want to get pizza?"
Miles is like "Yes, please!"
Spider-Girl is like "Oh, I'm starving."
But Ghost-Spider brings up a good point.
"What about them?"
What about the Sinister Nineteen, I think.
"How did the bees get inside my helmet?!"
says Mysterio.
As the super-villains are tired from fighting each other,
our super friends are walking away
and Spider-Man says "You know what?
I think they've got it covered.
Great trap, guys!"
And on that, we end the comic.
And make sure you guys stay tuned for more Marvel Reads.
