The Giggity Goobers

       I've been reading Spider-Man comics lately. Throughout many of them the idea of "Anyone can read the mask" has some up many times. In this blog I want to explore that idea more.     I recently read Spider-Man Noir which is an alternate version of Spider-Man from the WWII period. Even though he's not our usual friendly neighborhood Peter Parker, he's Spider-Man nonetheless. He beats up Nazi's instead of common crooks but the idea of "Great power comes great responsibility" remains the same.     Spider-Ham is another instance of an alternate Spider-Man.

At some points, you may feel bad for characters like Loki, while at others you will not. I especially liked the metaphors that are used throughout the book. The real world comparisons to the mythology really made me understand the mythological scale of the

3 Books I’d Sell My Soul to Read for the First Time Again Greetings from the beyond, I’m Mattox, posting the first blog on The Giggity Goobers, and I’m ecstatic to share three books I would do anything to read for the first time again. 1. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie And Then There Were None ’s book cover ( Source ) Agatha Christie, a literary icon, claimed the third spot in her era, surpassed only by the timeless classics, the Bible and Shakespeare. Her ingenious approach to Murder Mysteries set her apart, as each captivating tale introduced a fresh, unanticipated concept. Among her most beloved works, "And Then There Were None" stands out, guiding readers through the gripping odyssey of ten unacquainted individuals lured to a secluded island in Devonshire, England. The audience relishes in the unraveling of their sanity as they are picked off one by one. Now, who’s the murderer ? Only time will tell.  2. They All Fall Down by Rachel Howzel Hall They All Fal
