• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's A
• 0:05
  Talk. It's your boy Rob.
• 0:07
  And today I wanted to show some love to Spider Man Fake Red.
• 0:13
  Now this is the story and art is done by Yusuke Osama and it is
• 0:20
  published by Viz Media. And so I figured this was the
• 0:25
  perfect time to finally check this out, because I picked this
• 0:29
  up back when it originally came out earlier in the summer.
• 0:33
  But I wanted to wait until we got close to the release of
• 0:38
  Spider Man 2. And I can't get any closer
• 0:41
  closer than this, because at the time of me recording this, the
• 0:44
  game will be unlocked to be played in less than an hour.
• 0:50
  So what better time than, you know, procrastinating to the
• 0:55
  very end to read it. They had a throne, you know,
• 0:59
  little Spider Man shirt too. But but yeah, so like I said, I
• 1:04
  just wanted to give some love to this.
• 1:06
  So basically the story of Spider Man, fake red.
• 1:11
  It follows this young guy named you who he's just a normal high
• 1:18
  school teen, you know, not having the the best of luck in
• 1:22
  life and school and academics and stuff, whatever.
• 1:25
  And one day he randomly comes across one of Spider Man's suits
• 1:32
  in the dumpster behind the alleyway and he takes the suit
• 1:38
  home, puts on the suits or whatever.
• 1:41
  And then he ends up going out and being spider man, doing
• 1:47
  spider man's jobs or trying to, I guess I should say, cuz.
• 1:52
  So with the suit he's able to still shoot out webs and stuff,
• 1:56
  whatever. But you know, I don't think he
• 1:59
  has the other abilities like, you know, web crawling and
• 2:02
  stuff, whatever like that. And so, you know, but one thing
• 2:07
  I love about this kid is that he does have the heart of a hero to
• 2:12
  where even in the face of danger he is able to, you know, fight
• 2:17
  through those fears and still go out and help people and stuff
• 2:22
  along the way. And so the story or like like
• 2:27
  couple things I want to point out with this is that like the
• 2:30
  artwork in this looks super cool, super dope, very detailed.
• 2:36
  And that's kind of one of the reasons why.
• 2:38
  Aside from it being Spider Man, I kind of like saw how some of
• 2:42
  the art and stuff was looking and I was like, man, this looks
• 2:45
  like super dope. I really want to check it out.
• 2:48
  And like I said, just kind of hearing a little bit of the
• 2:51
  premise of it just sounded so cool but but also that that's
• 2:57
  kind of like like the basic crux of it is just this high school
• 3:01
  kid pretending to be Spider Man because something's happened to
• 3:07
  where spot the actual real Spider Man, Peter Parker is kind
• 3:11
  of out of Commission. And so while Peter is out of the
• 3:14
  picture, this kid is kind of stepping up in the best way that
• 3:19
  he can and just kind of helping out and stuff.
• 3:22
  But of course, it just leads to a lot of just silly moments and
• 3:27
  stuff, whatever to where, you know, bad guys or a robbery or
• 3:30
  something, whatever is going on. And instead of him like swinging
• 3:33
  after the person or whatever, he's like running behind them on
• 3:37
  foot or whatever, you know, or he is a, you know, not just like
• 3:44
  just jumping out of buildings and stuff, whatever.
• 3:46
  He's like, you know, he'll like use his web and kind of like let
• 3:49
  himself down like a like a rope or something.
• 3:52
  And so it's just kind of funny, especially with it being
• 3:55
  centralized in modern day where you have the social media, you
• 3:58
  have people, you know taking pictures and videos and posting
• 4:01
  them to Twitter and and other social media platforms and
• 4:05
  stuff. And just send the different
• 4:07
  comments from people being like man, like Spider Man looks a
• 4:10
  little different like man he he looks a little bit smaller in
• 4:12
  his suit and just all these different comments and stuff.
• 4:16
  And I also like a lot of the kind of like surrounding cast
• 4:19
  and stuff as well like this one girl Emma who is in his class,
• 4:26
  she's also a rock climber because you is a rock climber
• 4:29
  and stuff. And so just kind of seeing their
• 4:32
  friendship and stuff start to blossom and grow though through
• 4:37
  this lot of him being Spider Man and stuff.
• 4:42
  But there's some other really dope characters that kind of get
• 4:44
  brought up along the way. One of which I'm not too
• 4:47
  familiar with because I know it's and I found out it's a
• 4:50
  character who is fairly new. Sorry, let me see if I can find
• 4:55
  her name even though, oh actually I have it up right
• 5:00
  here. I guess this is maybe a slight
• 5:03
  spoiler for it or whatever, so maybe skip ahead a few seconds
• 5:06
  or whatever, but they have the character silk in this,
• 5:11
  whatever. And I thought that is super dope
• 5:13
  because like I said, I am not familiar with this person or
• 5:18
  whatever right here. Silk.
• 5:22
  But apparently she was created in 2014, so fairly new, little
• 5:26
  over a decade, little about a decade ago now, but she's a
• 5:31
  Korean American student that also got bit by a radioactive
• 5:38
  spider and stuff. Whatever.
• 5:39
  But just kind of seeing her team up with this young kid who she's
• 5:42
  been watching, going around trying to, you know, pretending
• 5:46
  to be spider man or whatever, but then them kind of working
• 5:48
  together to actually try to track down to find out what
• 5:52
  happened to the actual Peter Parker.
• 5:55
  And you know, I won't, you know, give away any too many more
• 6:00
  hands aside from that or whatever.
• 6:01
  But I also find this very fitting that obviously as you
• 6:04
  can tell from the cover that Venom is involved in some way,
• 6:09
  shape or form, which like I said is very fitting with Spider Man
• 6:13
  2 coming out as I can see on my controller with the Venom
• 6:17
  tendrils going to cross it or whatever, that Venom's going to
• 6:20
  be a big part of the game as well.
• 6:22
  But but yeah so like I said they want to talk too much on or
• 6:25
  whatever just want to just briefly just show some love and
• 6:28
  shout out to this series collects it like the art on it
• 6:31
  is like super dope man spider man fake red.
• 6:35
  And I love how oh there's another shot of silk right there
• 6:39
  who her name is Cindy Moon which is a very dope name that I
• 6:44
  enjoyed that I really liked. But but yeah and at the very end
• 6:48
  of it there's like kind of like a a kind of like art gallery and
• 6:52
  stuff. So I love like I said just like
• 6:54
  the artist stuff ever looks really good and I kind of want
• 6:57
  to look at some more of this Arthur's works because he also
• 7:01
  got to do there was recently released a Star Wars Mandalorian
• 7:07
  manga series that that the same person who wrote this also did
• 7:11
  that as well and it looks like they're also he's out.
• 7:14
  They're also going to be doing the Star Wars Visions manga
• 7:18
  anthology that was announced recently as well.
• 7:20
  So like I said I like how the art and stuff looks for this.
• 7:23
  So I might end up, even though I'm not like a super big Star
• 7:25
  Wars fan, I enjoy it on the periphery.
• 7:28
  So I might maybe check out some of these Star Wars manga like so
• 7:32
  maybe at least like the Mandalorian volume one, just to
• 7:35
  see and stuff. So, but but yeah, so like I
• 7:38
  said, just wanted to do this in honor of, you know, Spider Man 2
• 7:43
  releasing because you know, I'm less than 30 minutes away at the
• 7:47
  time of me recording this, so I'm very hyped to jump into that
• 7:52
  in the coming moments and stuff. So, but thank you so much for
• 7:56
  watching and listening. As always, you can find me
• 7:58
  everywhere at Danny's to talk and let me know what you think
• 8:01
  of Spider Man, Fake Red. I really wish that we could get
• 8:04
  more of this, but from my understanding is that it kind
• 8:08
  of. I think it might have got
• 8:10
  cancelled after they did the chapters for this first volume,
• 8:14
  which was 14 chapters. But for what it is, I feel like
• 8:20
  you did a solid job of telling a pretty solid and complete and
• 8:26
  conclusive story and this one volume to where it was like
• 8:30
  which I feel like the author maybe wrote it that way towards
• 8:33
  like hey, I might not get a chance to do more than this.
• 8:36
  So I'm going to do it in a solid way to where it will have some
• 8:41
  type of finality to it. But you know, if he ever did get
• 8:46
  a chance to do more of it or whatever, then there are still
• 8:48
  some threads and things that can be pulled from that I kind of
• 8:52
  would like to know more on or whatever or kind of more
• 8:57
  expended upon or whatever. But you know, like I said, I
• 8:59
  think it got cancelled. So for what it is, Spider Man
• 9:02
  fake red is still a solid you know, kind of like encapsulated
• 9:08
  story and stuff. So.
• 9:11
  But yeah, so let me know what y'all think of this.
• 9:13
  Let me know if have you picked up and checked out Spider Man
• 9:16
  Fake Red, or have you even heard of it?
• 9:19
  And let me know your thoughts on your hype for the Spider Man 2
• 9:23
  game as well. So.
• 9:25
  But like I said, you can find me everywhere at Dennis Talk and
• 9:27
  make sure to check out the podcast because as I continue to
• 9:30
  play as play through Spider Man 2 and Mario Wonder and lots of
• 9:34
  other stuff, I'll be talking about it on the podcast as well.
• 9:38
  So be sure to tune in for that, but I'll catch on the next one.
• 9:43
  Peace.
