Monster of the Day #3249

Weirdest…marathon…ever.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    I’ll give them this: confronted with this kind of image, I’d have to at least take the magazine off the rack and peek inside, if only to figure out what the Hell I was looking at.

  • Gamera977

    I was thinking of the limbo dance- can you go under the spider web?

  • Eric Hinkle

    I have this one, and Lord a’mighty is it ever bizarre. The villain finds hordes of giant cavemen, or something, in the caves of Appalachia and turns them loose to slaughter and plunder across the countryside so he can get rich. Or maybe just for gits and shiggles. It’s all very vague.

    The cavemen are all but superhuman — one soaks up 14 .45 automatic rounds from the Spider’s gun, takes a spear through the chest (as in it’s poking out on both sides), and gets their thigh bone broken, and they’re still fighting. The Spider wins of course, but just barely. Tens of thousands perish, trains and entire towns are massacred, and the monstrous horde is being gathered to strike at Manhattan — and that’s just halfway through the story!

  • Wade Harrell

    So does he actually shoot webs? I figured this was just a Shadow knock-off, but does he have spider powers of some kind?

  • Rock Baker

    And the winner is… actress Helen Mack!

  • Eric Hinkle

    The Spider? He has no superpowers besides an unbeatable willpower. He shoots bullets from his pistols, not webs.

  • Ken_Begg

    “NERDS!!!!!”

    (Sorry, I just noticed.)

  • Ken_Begg

    He’s crazy accurate, but yes, he basically just shoots people to death. Lots and lots of people.

  • Wade Harrell

    OK, that’s what I originally thought, but in this image he has a web! Granted, there is nothing implying he actually spun it…

  • Gamera977

    My new crime-fighting nickname will be THE TURTLE!!!

    ‘Why Turtle? Do you have a hard armoured shell?’

    ‘Nope.’

    ‘Do you have a vicious bite like a snapping turtle?’

    ‘Not really.’

    ‘Well, do you drive a green car?’

    ‘Nope.’

    ‘Then for crying out loud WHY ARE YOU CALLED THE TURTLE!?!’

    ‘Well, I am kinda slow and I like to take naps in the sun…’

  • Eric Hinkle

    The Spider probably gets fan mail from the Punisher.

  • Wade Harrell

    This makes me think of the Monarch from Venture Bros, the butterfly-themed supervillain who knows nothing about butterflies! “Prepare to feel the sting of the butterfly!” “You’re tangled in the butterflies’ web!” etc.
