Dear reader, this is not a joke. Someone got paid to make this, someone got paid to write this comic, someone got paid to draw it, someone got paid to manufacture it, and people paid so they could have this in their homes to wipe their butts.
In the 1970's, Marvel Comics was HUGE, i could've asked someone on the street if they read Marvel Comics and they would say YES, in all caps and with a comma at the end.
Marvel had a lot of merchandise back then, you got your MEGOs, your Underoos, your 7-Eleven cups, all that stuff, and they all had Spider-Man & The Hulk in them because they were Marvel's TV Sensations, everyone knew about them back in the 70's thanks to the live-action TV shows and TV movies.
Spider-Man could be in every room of your house, including THE BATHROOM. You ever see people talking about how the new Amazing Spider-Man comics could be used as toilet paper? Well, back in the 1970's you could actually use a comic as toilet paper without clogging your poor toilet because you used regular paper to wipe your ass like a fucking moron.
Well, i could try to find the comic for you but i am not one of the people that would buy unopened toilet paper from the 1970's. Lucky for me and lucky for you, we have the amazing power of technology, the guys at Marvel HQ in NYC have turned this comic into an Infinity Comic available on Marvel Unlimited.
Now, before we actually start reading this... thing, i gotta say that people that use their phone on the toilet and DON'T disinfect it afterwards are fucking gross. I have more to say about this comic than i did about the entirety of the 2018 Wasp comic.
This comic was written by Jim Salicrup and drawn by Michael Higgins. I would not be able to tell you what else they have done because i don't even know nor do i care because i don't read a lot of comics from the 70's.
Mid-day in the Manhattan apartment of science student Peter Parker... And his Mid-Crisis! Well, this isn't anything out of the ordinary, Peter Parker having a crisis. I see that every month. Peter here seems to have forgotten about the atomic energy exhibition today, he has to do a paper about it. This is something straight out of the 1981 Spidey cartoon, which came out 2 years after this comic.
The fastest way to go anywhere is by web-swinging... Except it's not because Peter is ALWAYS late for everything. Meanwhile, at the bus station below... BELOW WHERE? Dr. Robert Bruce Banner has to go... To the exhibition! Why? Because they may have the cure for turning into a giant rage monster. Now, does he actually get cured? One glance at the latest Incredible Hulk comic book on your local newsstand will give us the answer... No. He does not get cured.
Guess what, the science exhibit is awesome, everything is going great. But UH OH! The SPIDER-SENSE IS TINGLING! That means danger! The Leader is here, ready to steal... Something? Banner turns into The Hulk because the only way to fight destruction is to use more destruction. But while that was happening, Peter Parker changed into his Spider-Man pajamas to help Hulk stop the Leader.
Spidey and Hulk make a good team, but Hulk tells Spidey-Boy to fuck off, or as he puts it "bug off" because Hulk has no friends, and wherever the hulk goes, he goes... ALONE! Spidey then comments about how the Hulk has bad breath... Y'know, in all my years of being a Marvel fan, I've never once asked what Hulk's breath smells like.
The comic ends with Spidey remembering that the Hulk isn't actually as bad as everyone says he is.
Now, why is this comic rated T+? How is this comic for teens and up? "Aw, man, I cannot read this comic, I am only 12 years old! Well, i can still wipe my ass with it."
I don't know what negative things i could say about this, it wasn't as painful as that other comic i have yet to finish, but it's not as good as that other comic i have yet to review. It's literally just a story about Spider-Man & The Hulk teaming up to fight the Leader, it's not deep or anything. You could skip this comic in your Spider-Man reading order and you'd be just fine, though I haven't seen many people include this in their reading lists.
Why do the credits mention that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man, but they don't mention who created The Hulk? What an embarrassing oversight on their part.
Well, gee, that's it. Review over. This comic gets a 6/10, it's alright. But it's not the best thing.
NEXT TIME: Gwenpool Strikes Back continues, and i have to suffer for it.
