Marvel Spotlight #20-22Issue(s): Marvel Spotlight #20, Marvel Spotlight #21, Marvel Spotlight #22 Review/plot: ![]() ...especially when they include huge text passages... ![]() ...so suffice it to say that Daimon gets involved in a plot involving a fortune teller who is trying to get vengeance on a newspaper publisher for publishing an article saying that fortune tellers are frauds... ![]() ...by going after the publisher's daughter. The fortune teller gives Daimon a tarot reading and of course everything in the reading starts to come true... ![]() ...and there's a lot of metaphorical and soul-searching stuff. The Nihilists that appeared in a previous arc appear again in this story, inadvertently helping fulfill part of the tarot prophesy. ![]() Do you want me to write, "Say what you like about belief in the Tarot, at least it's an ethos."? I will, if you want me to. Satana shows up as part of an illusionary sequence. ![]() The MCP lists it as an actual appearance of Satana, but the sequence also features the devil Ikathon... ![]() ...Ghost Rider... ![]() ...the Witch-Woman, and other characters that are clearly not actually appearing in the book... ![]() ...so i'm not counting this as an actual appearance. I will grant you nice art by Sal Buscema. ![]() Quality Rating: C- Chronological Placement Considerations: N/A References:
Crossover: N/A Continuity Insert? N My Reprint: Essential Marvel Horror vol. 1 Inbound References (3): showCharacters Appearing: Hellstorm, Katherine Reynolds, Madame Swabada 1975 / Box 9 / EiC Upheaval CommentsMadame Swabada also appears in Giant-Size Man-Thing 5 but that's a flashback to before Sallis becomes the Man-Thing, so I'm not sure how you want to handle it. Posted by: Michael | April 21, 2013 2:46 PM Just to close the loop on this, i wound up filing the Giant-Size Man-Thing issue as a Continuity Implant, so i logged Swabada as a character appearing. Thanks for pointing her out; i would have never noticed that it was the same character. Posted by: fnord12 | April 23, 2013 2:59 PM Jo Duffy has a letter in #20.
