Welcome again to Masterpiece Comics Theater, an aural interwebs show where we debate all things graphic novels and imbibe all things barley brews. Lord KMacsworth III of Inkshire and Sir Yexington, Man of Comic Sans Letters bring you this time a tale of international intrigue, conspiracy, murder, and berets. Can one hard luck Queens-bred Arachnid stop the war-bound collision course of a small Balkan country and a world superpower? Why must the world deal with Aunt May’s dumb sick boyfriend? See the scenic locals of New York, Symkaria, Washington, DC, Amazon Rainforest, and the New Jersey Riveria. Spider-Man is in race against time and consecutive “Ns” in the Assassin Nation Plot. If Nic Cage had just got to the National Archives first!
