Spider-Island Tie-Ins Storytime

Welcome back Anons! Last time, we read the Spider-Island event. Today, we're going to read the entire reason we did that, the tie-ins. Let's start with Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, featuring the Immortal Weapons!

...

Well, that's creepy.

No, not Fat Cobra!

And "Madame Web" is just as useless as she's been throughout the entire arc.

And Shang-Chi reacts as basically anyone with SENSE should react to Peter's plan to "get everyone with spider-powers"

I miss Ai Apec.

Wait, is Cloak just dropping a damn Taxi on them?

We'll see him again in our threads soon, user.

Well, if you can't partner Danny with Luke, I guess Shang-Chi is a decent replacement.

>Shang-Chi with all the powers of Spider-Man

Can you say "OP", Anons?

Yes, but I'd like him to show up in Marvel's current run of Spider books.

>Bride of Nine Spiders

And if you guessed she's important to this mini, you get the prize for most OBVIOUS assumption.

...

>"They leave together, Iron Fist does not say goodbye."

Is now REALLY the time, Danny?

Based on that first panel, it looks like Shang-Chi doesn't know who Spider-Man is.

Yeah, I guess you should NOT have trusted the creepy Spider-Lady in a Spider-plague.

And down goes Danny.

...

...

I feel like this is basically the most that the Bride of Nine Spiders has ever talked in a single issue.

>Spitting a horde of spiders out from her mouth

Well, that's not horrifying.

>"My Master will be pleased"

Dun dun dun!

...

More giant spiders?

Speaking of pets, remember that time Danny had a dog?

Huh, would not have expected Shang-Chi to be into british rock.

Well, that explains how Sable found him.

Oh joy, spooky mansion. That won't go badly, will it?

Okay, I was NOT expecting Home Alone-esque traps.

>that last panel

So Shang-Chi's got used to these powers really quickly.

Please tell me this isn't the first time someone's made the "Master of Feng Shui" joke.

These are some weird attack names.

JESUS CHRIST, DID SHE JUST UNHINGE HER JAW?!

I guess Spider-Sense means he felt her coming, and that's why he's not in the middle of trying to tear down Fat Cobra or the others.

I checked, that one time Danny used a normal English move instead of a fancy martial arts move, it was called "Bronx Sucker Punch"

So Iron Fist attacks just don't get a special name?

>Shang-Chi tugged away

Time for her Master to make an appearance.

A talking giant Spider? Could it be...

When I said we'd get more Ai Apaec? Yeah, I meant it sooner than you'd think.

Huh, so Ai Apaec only helped the Queen out, so he could get a pet Bride of Nine Spider?

Oh shit, you done fucked up now!

Last issue of this arc.

So, how badly is this guy gonna get screwed?

By this point in the Spider-Island issue, we already knew about the transforming, I believe.

From now on, I think all of his skills are (modified).

>"A curse on these tiny human abodes!"

I got a chuckle out of that.

Oh hey, NOW Danny's freeing the other Immortal Weapons?

Man, that line wouldn't have been quite as good if Ai Apaec didn't fall down right then.

Look at the first panel, Anons. They don't draw much attention to it, but Shang-Chi is indeed transforming quickly.

Oh yeah, Dog Brother and Tiger's Beautiful Daughter are in this now.

>"I can cure Shang!"

Huh, that'd be really handy in the actual Spider-Island book.

>"The Master of Kung Fu serves no one. Queen, king, lord, chimera god, NO ONE."

>"Hope nobody else expects me to do that. Feels like I went ten rounds with a mack truck."

Well, that would be too easy.

...

...

...

Good on Shang-Chi, for victory by a building dropped on him.

>"The Avengers can clean this up."

Spoilers, they never do.

And here we have the only reason this tie-in is related to Spider-Island.

...

And a one-shot to finish...

Spider-Island: Heroes For Hire!

Remember when these guys only showed up for, like, two panels?

>"By the way, the term 'Hire' is symbolic. There will be no cost to the city."

Does anyone ACTUALLY pay them?

So does Black Cat have her own method of grappling, or is she already part Spider?

I love shang chi
Where's he been lately?

...

There you go Paladin, look on the bright side of this.

That's a lot of Spider AIM.

Oh right, Black Cat somehow has Bad Luck powers. I guess she didn't have the Spider-abilities earlier, then.

Damn Paladin, you ugly.

Last I know, he had a bit part in Avengers World. He also has a few Omnibii that are being released.

Oh shit!

...

...

...

>Sam kicked a Spider-Monster hard enough to crack a pillar

Remember, it was a KICK, not a punch with her metal arm.

I actually had to look it up, because I didn't remember what Paladin's real name actually is.

Uh oh.

Well, at least Paladin is being selfless now.

Wait, you don't have a stun gun in your arm?

>Misty has Spider-Powers now

Remember when I pointed out how strong Misty was earlier? Yeah, foreshadowing.

...

And now we know how Misty ended up naked in the last issue of Spider-Island.

Those are all old Luke Cage villains, right? I wonder which Chemistro this is.

So Anons, do you think we should finish up there, or read Spider-Island Avengers?

Why doesn't Mr. Fish just jump in the water and swim away? He doesn't need to cross the bridge.

Do SI: Avengers if you have it. Squirrel Girl gets BTFO for once.

All right, Yost's Spider-Island Avengers.

What's this "arm bit off" a reference too?

I know Firestar uses microwaves instead of fire, but wouldn't the heat mess with her?

I think it was Venom in Thunderbolts.

Wait no, wrong Venom. It was actually Flash Thompson.

>Hawkeye with Spider-Powers

How does Hawkeye even KNOW about Carol dating Peter?

Presumably one of them mentioned it to him off-screen. Seems like the kind of thing that would come up in convesation.

Honestly, I don't know much about Flagsmasher and Ultimatium, all I remember them from is the recent Captain Hydra issue, and the pre-Secret Wars issue of Deadpol.

I guess this means Danille doesn't have powers yet.
