Hello again, nerd squad.
My name is Amanda McKnight and I am super excited to be your host for this nerdy list.
Vault of Spiders issue 1 is now out and we won’t be getting our second issue for a
while so we thought to hold you over we would give you the top 10 shocking facts about Vault
of Spiders.
If you like the Spiderverse story line and this video give it a thumbs up.
Before we get into it I want to know is who is your favourite of all the spider totems
we have seen thus far?
My favourite is Spider-Punk, Hobart Brown though he may have just been replaced by a
new totem who appears in this issue.
Let’s see find out if you also might have found a new favourite as we count down.
10 The tease.
So right on page three of this issue we get a huge tease of Spider Totems yet to come.
The totems that appear unfamiliar are business spiderman in a suit and tie, man bun spiderman
with awesome facial hair and spiders for eyes spiderman who is also covered in big spiders.
It also looks like there might an alternate version of Japenese spiderman where the costume
is different because this totem is also sporting what appear to be the iconic spider bracelets.
One of my favourite of these, I like to call Spider-Chef.
They are definitely wearing a chef’s apron and hat, basically a chef version of the spider
suit.
I really hope we get to see this totem soon because I want to know more about they work.
Do they protect others and stop crime with good food?
Do they punish criminals with their purposefully bad made-to-eat dishes?
Do Spider senses enhance their palette and make them the best chef in the world?
Does Hell’s Kitchen literally just become Hell’s Kitchen and they are the Gordon Ramsey?
The people want to know.
9 The details in the new universes.
Okay okay okay.
So I hope we get to see more of the universes of these new Spider totems and I’ll tell
you why, these worlds are great!
In the western universe we get to see Spiderman’s horse who is also comically masked.
What I want to know is are we calling him Spiderhorse?
And does he have spider like abilities too?
Cause that would be freaky and cool.
[insert video from Brother’s Grimm, link in script 0:48-0:52] Let’s flip over to
Japanese Spiderman on earth 5 1 7 7 8 where we see a giant Professor Monster in a mech
suit and ask ourselves why are his soldiers flying out of this woman’s face on the palm
of suit’s hand?
Like, why?
If there is one last detail I wanna leave you with is the idea of a virtual reality
verse, where everything is possible with Spyderbyte.
A online world where the biggest superheroes and villians are the biggest script and code
writers and where Spyderbyte is a super cool program that appears to belong to our Spidey
of this world on her laptop.
Would Venom be a virus?
Cause all I can think of right now is Reboot nostalgia.
8 Karn.
So the last time we saw Karn, former Inheritor now Master Weaver was in Spider Geddon issue
2.
In this issue, he died at the hands of sister Verna, who informed Karn that his attachment
to the Web of Life and Destiny as Master Weaver had turned him into a spider-totem.
This meant she could now consume his life-energy and as a result of this encounter Karn appeared
to be pretty, well, dead.
However Karn has obviously died before in the comics, so it is possible another Karn
from another timeline could appear once again to take his own place.
I mean something must have happened because Vault of Spiders opens with Karn, alive and
well, as the Master Weaver, trying to find new totems for the Spider Army as he promised
Billy Braddock, aka Spider-UK, he would.
Awww.
7 The Villians.
Alright so Inheritors are an obvious looming villian in the world but we don’t actually
see any of them in this series so far.
Vault of Spiders seems to be more focused so far on introducing new Spider Totems.
And you know what that means?
Possible introductions to new amazing alternates of our earth 6 1 6 villians!
In that regard, we get to see a Doctor Morbius in the wild west who turns vampire after drinking
his own Snake-Oil type tonic.
Check out his awesome sunglasses.
Love!
We also get a glimpse an alternate Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, but he’s pretty similar
to our earth 6 1 6 version of him.
Interestingly though Ka-Zar the Hunter seems to be a bit of baddie in this world, working
for Fisk as his hunting guide in Savage Land.
Tsk, tsk.
We also get to see an epic version of Professor Monster who appears in a giant robotic mech
suit.
Yes!
6 RIP Spider Totems.
Although we get a tease at Spider Totems to come, we also get some confirmation on and
are able to mourn the ones we lost.
Among our fallen heroes pictured we see Cosmic Spiderman, Prince of Arachne, Ezekiel Sims,
Peter Parquagh of 1602, Spiderman Noir, Billy Braddock, and the Peter Parker of earth 9
8 2 who is Mayday’s dad.
There are even a few we don’t recognize one of which could actually be Spider-Gwen.
An unknown totem with a white costume and a black knee visible can be seen in the corner
of a fallen totem’s photograph.
Which would be interesting considering we last saw Spider-Gwen alone and stranded in
Spider Geddon issue 2.
5 Takuya Yamishiro.
That’s right we get the return of the 1970s Japenese TV favourite, Spider Protector, aka
our Spiderman from Japan.
And we get to see him on his own earth 5 1 7 7 8 fighting Professor Monster who has recently
been self-promoted--you’ll see what I mean--and his Iron Cross soldiers.
What’s even better, we are teased at being shown Planet Spider.
What is planet spider?
Is it possible this is where Takuya gets his spider powers from?
Is the planet ruled by spiders?
Does our potential new spider totem, Spiders-for-eyes live there or maybe this dead spider totem?
[insert picture of the kinda creepy mutant spider totem from page 3] I wanna know.
Don’t forget the return of the classic phrase from the TV show’s theme music which also
shows up in this issue.
[insert clip of yeah yeah yeah wow, link in script 0:08-0:17].
I wonder if the Spiderman Boogie will also make into the comics.
4 The Web-Slinger.
This Spider Totem takes us to a universe set in the time of the wild west.
First of all I love the look of this spideys half mask and stubble.
This new spider totem might have the best prose of all.
He weaves his narrative like a straight-up cowboy using terms like ol’ carpetbagger,
smoke wagons and whipper snappers and I am digging it!
As I mentioned earlier he also has his trusted spider-stead.
The Web-Slinger appears to have gained superhuman reflexes as a result of his run in with the
spider bite but that’s about it as far as we can see.
He comes armed with a web-shooter gun and your run-o-the-mill old reliable pistol.
When you add the old school spaghetti western sound effects that are written into the panels,
you end up with a satisfying western reimagining of Spiderman.
3 The Savage Spider-Man.
I think this totem gets my vote for favourite story in this issue.
The Savage Spider-Man was given the only parachute when his parents plane went down over Savage
Land.
As such, young Peter Parker was left stranded on the strange land where he was raised by
spiders.
Sort of.
The costume and what looks like a scar tissue tattoo of a spider on his chest come together
to also give Savage Spider-Man a unique and badass look.
Also is there an MJ, Gwen or Black Cat in this savage land?
And if so, what would they be like?
2 Spider Girls.
Don’t get too excited, we don’t get a full story of Mayday, Anya or Annie in this
issue of Vault of Spiders but we do get teased.
Remember the page with the potential spider totems?
Look who’s also on there: Anya, aka Spider Girl and Annie, aka Spiderling.
With the Spider Girls series unfinished, I assume this might be a hint at these new totems
and our Spider-Girls meeting up which I would be a huge fan of.
I already am in love with the Spider Girl series after issue 1 and definitely want to
see more of the two alternate-reality Watson-Parker-kids, May and Annie teaming up.
Spider Girls is a relatively new series and if you haven’t read issue 1 yet, I highly
recommend it.
1 Spyder-Byte.
Maybe it’s just the online gamer in me coming out, but I really love this spider totem.
In fact she may be my new favourite.
Meet Margo, a virtual reality and possible code-writing pro who surfs the online world
and beats up cyber baddies.
Are you loving this so far?
Cause I’m loving this so far.
This story is just a brief intro to her and the cool virtual reality world her Spider
self, Spyder-Byte inhabits.
By the way, just like most young Peter Parker’s she does a good amount of her crime-fighting
in between classes.
In this comic, we get a little glimpse of her laptop which has a spider on it and I’m
assuming she designed her own spider program.
What I am wondering is, where her abilities come from.
Is she a self-made code-writing genius of a hero?
Did a maybe, virtual radioactive spider still somehow play into the Spider-Byte she embodies
online?
I gotta know.
Thank you so much for watching!
I hope you learned lots about Vault of Spiders and are excited to read it, if you haven’t
already.
I can’t believe we have to wait so long for issue two.
Before you go I wanna ask one more question if you could travel to any of the spider-verses
which one would want to visit?
I personally would just want to travel around to different ones with the Spider-Girls.
Also if you also love the Spider-Girls and want to know more about them, give this video
and thumbs up & let us know in the comments below & remember tap that subscribe so you
don’t potentially miss it.
Maybe we can all go traveling with the Spider-Girls together in another video.
This is top 10 nerd and I’m Amanda McKnight, reminding you as always to stay nerdy and
saying thanks for clicking.
