Spider-Man - Return of the Spider Slayer

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The show wastes no time in bringing back the Spider Slayers. In an obvious attempt to create (pretty crappy) toys to sell, “Return of the Spider-Slayers” gives us not one, not two, but three different Spider Slayers with the new ones apparently designed off the shittiest run of Transformers ever (they even combine together to… well, do nothing really except make them infinitely easier to beat when stacked on top of each other – even though the bomb’s explosion doesn’t appear to touch the bottom Slayer). In every way, the Slayers are even less impressive a second time around.

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s.

Spidey Super-Stories #50

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the early 80s and the time that Jennifer Walters defended the Rhino in court against Foggy Nelson (who had some excellent legal strategy by the way). Eventually the Rhino grows weary of court and escapes (while dropping puns) leading both Spider-Man and She-Hulk to track him down (although for awhile She-Hulk seems determined to protect her client before realizing she’s on the wrong side and teams-up with Spider-Man to end his rampage and return him to court).
