Wow over 20 years ago this came out. Guessing to promote the live action Daredevil movie. You get 3 episodes of the 90s Fox Kids SPiderman the animated series. Starting off with one where Peter Parker gets Matt Murdock as his lawyer. Fun stuff and makes me wish there was a legit release of this series.

Then a classic 68 Spiderman episode with THE KINGPIN. Now this is a series I haven't got the connection to that so much of my generation does. I lived in an area where it wasn't rerun for years. I knew of the series but never saw it until I got a vhs with a few episodes in a trade in mid 90s. Cheesy and cheap but worth  seeing.

And the last full length extra A Fantastic Four episode with Kingpin. This is not good. Really the only Fantastic Four cartoon worth seeing is the one made in the 2000s after the live action films.

I do like now having a physical copy of at least a few of the Spiderman the animated series show. Just makes me wish when Disney XD was rerunning it often I had recorded them to dvd-rs.

One odd thing I want to point out is the early 90s Computer graphics used for the web swinging scenes in the 90s show makes those parts look very dated. Where as using traditional animation for those scenes in the 68 show doesn't make it look old. Even with that show being close to 30 years old when the 90s show started.

Daredevil vs Spiderman is decent. Glad I didn't pay the 15 to 20 bucks this had to cost when  it first came out. Got this recently at a junkstore for either 50 cents or a buck.

Daredevil vs Spiderman gets a C+.

Not that long ago I got 200 random indie comix. So one evening while dinner was cooking, I will make a pizza once a week for dinner, I sat down and just grabbed a handful of these random comix and started reading them.

This issue starts off with what appears to be two bums sitting up against a wall. Telling stories of the past. About a delivery boy. With a very important package. Seems this boy was stolen as a baby by the Fae. Then once he was a teen released back into the real world. He became the best delivery person in the world. 

So he was tasked with delivering a very very important package. Just one thing 

A TROLL UNDER A BRIDGE!!!!

Yep this tall tale told by drunken bums is a retelling of a classic fairy tale. 

The Troll is strong and tough. The Delivery Boy has a secret weapon. A potion that allows him to keep on living after dying. A potion that caused a zombie outbreak. Still this package must be delivered.

Then the ending> SPOILERS<

The package was another young child that was stolen by the Fae and out Delivery Boy brings her home to her parents.

And this tall tale telling ends with the parents and that child visiting the bums and giving them beer.

This was wild. Feels like there is a very hidden story under all this. One I would catch more of if I had read the first 2 issues. 

Juni Ba's Monkey Meat Issue 3 gets  B.
