- Hey, what's up everybody?
My name is Roy Wood Jr. and I will
be reading Super Hero Adventures, number
one, Spider Sense of Adventure.
What do you say we get into it.
We interrupt this broadcast with very important breaking news.
A popular video game is turning our children
into mindless zombies.
Children have been found staring, unmoving,
at their screens after playing the popular battle
royale game Panic Island.
It wasn't until kids were missing meals, bathroom breaks
and in game updates that parents realized something was wrong
and alerted authorities.
Experts don't know yet what is causing this.
But they are telling everyone to avoid the game until the crisis
has been solved.
All I can say is, I hope someone fixes this soon.
I'm suffering from serious Panic Island withdrawals myself!
Looks like the power is up and running and OK.
We're just about ready to head into Panic Island
How's everything fitting, Spidey?
Fine, Ghost Spider.
But can't we just play this on our computers at home?
Usually we could.
But someone has changed the rules of the game
and is breaking kids' brains, so I've leveled the playing field.
I've done some rejiggering of the code myself,
so that we can play the game with this virtual reality
equipment.
Not only will that protect us from whatever is affecting
the other players, it will also allow us to move more freely
and to access our powers and webbing in game.
Whoa.
The ultimate Spidey cheat code!
Exactly.
Good thing too!
I've never played this game before.
Just follow my lead when we get in there.
I know this game like the back of my hand.
Is it on yet?
(Sigh) We just need to jump in,
find the anomaly that's causing all of this
and just shut it down.
Now get ready, here we go!
Whoa!
What's happening?
We're falling toward the island.
Usually you're falling with a lot of other people,
but we're all by ourselves.
Something's not right.
These graphics are amazing.
It feels like I'm really there.
We don't know what's going on here,
but I do know we don't want to get eliminated.
That could mean serious trouble.
Come on, there should be some weapons in this farmhouse.
There's no weapons in here.
This is definitely not normal.
Do you hear something?
You see this too?
Yeah, I see it.
This is not good.
We need to run.
Follow me!
We should head into the forest for safety.
We need to stay alive long enough to figure out
what's going on in this game!
Wait, help!
I'm in trouble!
I can't move!
Is something wrong?
Everything has gone dark.
You're walking into a wall.
Turn to your left.
Oh, thanks.
Come on, you've got to pay attention.
Ahhh!
No.
No Gwen, where did you go?
Dude, I'm still right next to you.
My character hasn't respawned yet.
I'll let you know when it happens.
In the meantime, stay alive!
There we go.
I've respawned.
Now, where the heck am I?
Ah, look, it's a newbie.
Didn't think there'd be any more people stupid enough
to keep playing the game.
Ghost Spider, you still there?
What's going on?
Where am I?
What's going on?
We were all eliminated.
And now, for some reason, we're all stuck in this pit.
There's no way out.
There's always a way out.
You've just got to find it.
Ghost Spider, can you still hear me?
Yes, I can still hear you, but I need to focus
on getting out of this ditch.
You're on your own right now.
That's not good.
I'm in serious trouble here.
I don't know how to play this game at all.
You might not know this game, but the game also doesn't
know you're still Spider-man!
Of course!
You're a genius!
Let's see this game handle these moves!
How did he do that?
Come on guys, take your best shot!
Get him!
Too slow!
Arghh!
Take that video game!
No, you're not playing right!
Uh-oh.
I have flossed too soon.
Arcade, is that you?
You're behind all of this?
You're not playing fair Spider-Man!
Hey, you're the one who changed this game entirely.
That's not fair.
This game wasn't fair before!
So I changed it and turned it into my own world of menace.
Now I make the rules here.
And the number one rule is, I always win.
Wow.
You must be a lot of fun at a sleepover.
I was so sick of losing all the time.
And I'm getting pretty sick of you.
Now, enough of this.
Where are all the players you eliminated,
especially my friend?
They're trapped!
I made it so if they lose, they can never play again!
There's no way out for them!
There's always a way out!
No!
Get em guys!
Ghost Spider!
No!
No fair!
You're OK!
Who are all these people?
They're the folks Arcade defeated.
He was keeping them all trapped after eliminating them.
So how did you get out?
Arcade isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
He placed a powerful energy barrier above us,
but I just kept attacking the problem
until I found the glitch in his code and exploited it.
She dug a tunnel out the side and then up.
How technical!
We interrupt with more breaking news.
The mystery condition affecting Panic Island players
is no more.
Returning players are saying they were saved in game
by Spider-Man and Ghost Spider.
Who knew they were gamers?
Whew!
That was intense!
Awesome job with this VR setup.
Thanks, you did great too.
You free tomorrow?
We're looking for another person to join our squad.
You'd be a perfect addition.
Thanks, but I need to unplug for a little while.
Video games are fun and everything,
but it still doesn't beat taking a swing in the real world.
We did it.
