At 13th Dimension: Spider-Man's Screwiest Spider-Verses: Teens vs. Ultron!


Tonight, my pal John has a new post up over at comics news 'n' culture blog 13th Dimension, an' I helped! Continuing John's sure-to-be-Eisner-nominated series on weird and oddball alternate Spider-Man Universes, he's told us all about the time Spider-Man contributed to engineering education for teens and he fought the rampaging Doctor Octopus and Ultron. Well, sorta. In the end it's actually the civilians who save Spidey's bacon (and that's even without him being Spider-Ham!) You can pretty much count on Spider-Man just passing the buck in his adventures, can't you?:

Ah, that's the Spider-Man we know and love.

Also, as Spider-Marshall-McLuhan would remind us, this is a comic book brought you to by the fine folks at the major corporations who contribute to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, and so they get to have their names listed in a Spider-Man comic book. Be certain to buy stuff from them all! (Hey, it's just like Kickstarter!)


So check out SPIDEY’S SCREWIEST SPIDER-VERSES #3: Teenagers vs. Ultron over at 13th Dimension, the comics site that's ten dimensions better than reality!

In conclusion: engineering jobs for minority kids: good. Ultron: bad.

At 13th Dimension: Spider-Man's Screwiest Spider-Verses debuts!


Tonight over at 13th Dimension, my pal John begins a series of posts about Spider-Man's Screwiest Spider-Verses...weird and wacky alternate versions of Spider-Man we probably won't be seeing in the new Spider-Verse crossover event (darn it). Although Spider-Verse promises every Spider-Man known to man...I bet pal John's come up with a few more! (I helped.)

Here's a web-slinger we can only hope we'll see: Rick Geary's Spider-Man! Here's a sneak preev:

Whoa, what the Sam Scratch is that crazy silver coin right in the middle of the page? You'll just have to head over to 13th Dimension for Spider-Man's Screwiest Spider-Verses to find out! A splendid time is guaranteed for all!*
