Ultimate Spider-Man #3

My favorite moments of Ultimate Spider-Man #3 center around the interactions between Peter Parker and his daughter May who is the only one who knows her father’s secret. We get the pair working to keep the secret from Mary Jane and then May helping her father find the perfect look for this universe’s Spider-Man. We also get a fun little character beat with Peter discussing Spider-Man with Ben and Jonah, sticking up for the city’s new hero.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur - Belly of the Beast

After working through some issues over the pair getting on each other’s nerves, Lunella (Diamond White) and Casey (Libe Barer) work together to save Devil after he accidentally injects one of Moon Girl’s new experiments. “Belly of the Beast” wears the moral of the episode on its sleeve with the Innerspace-style adventure allowing for some action not caused by the pair’s bickering. In the end, talking things out and working together help heal the rift in pair’s friendship (although, notably, neither take much effort to apologize to Devil who not only has to awkwardly stay still while the girls investigate inside him but also misses out on several favorite treats.

Spider-Man - The Menace of Mysterio

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. Basing some of the events of the episode off of Amazing Spider-Man #13, “The Menace of Mysterio” introduces the character of Mysterio (Gregg Berger) framing Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes) for a series of robberies while setting up himself as the hero to take him down. Of course, J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) is overjoyed with events until he discovers he’s been fooled again and Mysterio is nothing more but a special effect tech with a grudge against our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Somebody sure watched Planet of the Apes. After already hitting the climax of this Monarch film series which gave us Godzilla versus King Kong, the pair are brought back together to mostly ignore each other in separate storylines, battle each other (briefly), and team-up against a threat that is underwhelming to say the least in a crazy ape and his miniature frost-shooting Godzilla. Other than merging the franchises with something like Pacific Rim or Transformers there was really nowhere for the series to go. And that’s where it goes, absolutely nowhere.
