KATE MICUCCI: Hey, everybody.
My name is Kate Micucci and today we're
going to be reading Marvel's Superhero Adventures,
number one, Mealtime Mayhem.
Let's get started.
(NARRATING) New York City.
Now.
See, this is why crime doesn't pay.
I mean, unless you think webs count as payment.
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Crime-fighting really works up an appetite.
I need pie.
Mmmph!
The police are already on their way.
[POLICE SIRENS BLARING]
Have a nice day!
Mmmm, pie.
If I get a whole one, I can take some home for Dad.
He'll appreciate that, and it gives
me an excuse to have been out.
I am so smart.
[BELL JINGLES]
So smart. So--
VENOM: Get down.
Huh?
You not listening, kid?
This is a robbery!
Get down!
Uh-oh.
KATE MICUCCI: There's a robbery happening.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize there was a line.
Venom!
This isn't good.
I have to do something.
But I can't blow my secret identity.
Think, Gwen, think.
Oh, this is going to be embarrassing.
But a hero doesn't fear embarrassment.
Not when there's work to do.
Mr Venom, sir?
VENOM: Huh?
I told you to get down.
Um, I have to use the bathroom.
What was that?
I said, I have to go to the bathroom.
[GIGGLES]
Uh.
Just-- just go.
But come right back.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
I just need to get my costume on.
I've gotta move fast.
KATE MICUCCI: And see, she's running away
and she's gotta move fast.
Those people need my--
wait.
Maybe there's something in here that I
can use as a distraction.
Hmm.
KATE MICUCCI: She's looking around in her purse.
Ooh.
SPIDER-GWEN: Cover your eyes.
[INAUDIBLE]
[EXPLOSION]
Run!
Everybody run!
KATE MICUCCI: She threw flour everywhere.
VENOM: Oh no, you don't.
Hsss.
Eek.
Not so fast.
[BAM]
[SQUELCH]
I can't believe I'm saying this, but pick on someone
your own size.
Ghost-spider!
Got it in one.
Come here. [SQUELCH]
Whoa.
Come on.
You're scaring the pie!
[SQUELCH]
This is really unfriendly of you.
Can we try not doing this?
Raaargh!
Guess not.
KATE MICUCCI: Here she is, fighting big time.
[SQUELCH]
SPIDER-GWEN: Splat.
Fwip!
Sorry.
What a waste of a good pie.
Mmglhh.
[SQUELCH]
SPIDER-GWEN: Gotcha!
Mnch mnch mnch.
Ew, gross.
I-- I just wanted some pie.
[SCOFFS] So you tried to rob the place?
I didn't have any money.
Not a good enough reason.
Says you.
[SQUELCH]
Sorry about this.
Could you call the police?
Sure.
[BELL JINGLES]
Actually, while you're here, I don't
suppose you'd want a reward for thwarting a robbery, by chance?
A reward?
Like pie?
What kind?
KATE MICUCCI: He's going to give her some pie.
[SQUELCH]
Crime doesn't pay.
That's just a fact.
But heroism?
Sometimes if you're lucky, heroism pays in pie.
Yum.
KATE MICUCCI: The end.
[LAUGHING]
Well, was so much fun.
And I hope you stay tuned for more Marvel Read.
Thanks, everybody.
See you next time.
