Then again that would have killed Leia and made the whole movie a moot point. No need for plans for something that went boom.
If someone were to ask you to think about superheroes and peanut butter I imagine not enough of you would think of this:
And yet this is legit. Superman had his own peanut butter and I remember it was rather good. I’m a Skippy man myself these days but I’ve tried many a peanut butter along with jelly or crackers in my 47 years of eating peanut butter (minus those years I didn’t have teeth and such…very few 4 month olds have had peanut butter). One of them was Peter Pan, and unlike the Man Of Steel’s creamy peanuty goodness is still around today. I don’t know the history of Peter Pan peanut butter but it’s an interesting choice for a mascot given that the public domain character isn’t known for eating peanut butter. Or riding buses, but there is a bus line with him as well. Probably because the punk kid first appeared in 1902 in a book by a British author, The Little White Bird and peanut butter was invented in….1884? I don’t know if I trust Wikipedia on this one. Further searching…may have actually been invented by the Incas. Wow, there’s more to peanut butter history than I thought. However, this isn’t about our favorite food, but the superhero connected to it…Spider-Man.
Yep, not Superman. In 1994 Peter Pan teamed with Marvel to create four mini-comics packed in with their peanut butter. No, they didn’t dip the comics into the peanut butter; they stuck them inside the lids. You will not be surprised to learn these are not your usual shaped comics. Peanut butter lids are round things that tend not to be all that large, even if you buy them at a warehouse store like BJs or Costco. I can’t find a proper order. Some listings say the one I’ll be reviewing today is #1 in a series, others say #4, but it’s the only one I own and I can’t find complete scans online so for now it’s the only one I’ll be reviewing.
It looks like Spidey is about to become peanut butter.

There is a hard swear in this video. Just in case you’re in polite company while watching this.

Personally I think Spectrum was probably the most fitting name out of all of them. Of course I like Carol better as Warbird and Captain Marvel better as Billy Batson.

Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
Usually when I do the Chapter By Chapter articles I do the intro first, read the chapters, and then finish the review. It adds a bit of authenticity to the intro when I don’t know what’s coming up instead of pretending I am to make for a good intro. This week however I wasn’t sure if I would be reading two chapters or three. Together, chapters 21 and 22 make for a full chapter length but reading through three chapters like I did last week and other chapters in this section of the book seemed like a good option. When the techs broke out the guns I decided to read one more chapter.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Joanna has talked Karlac into investigating the warehouse. What will they find? Yeah, I already know but that’s not as much fun. Let’s just get to the review.

Interesting to see Saberspark doing a video more fit for Company Man than his usual animated movie and show reviews. I’m assuming Company Man is waiting to see how this plays out so while this isn’t usual BW fodder any more than it is Saberspark’s I may revisit this in the future. As a video game source it is rather interesting to watch in the current battle between physical and digital stores.
