What new threat does the drunken Invisible Woman face?
Spider-Ham is Fighting An Alien Blob
Navigating Manhattan on an early afternoon is difficult enough when stone-cold sober. Sue Storm climbed invisible stairs, her thighs pumping as she gained air, racing over the car-packed streets and civilian-crowded sidewalks. Her steps were not always as sure as she'd like, her vision continued to swim, and a sickening lurch in her stomach as she took a tight corner promised she was about to taste Porkum's strange liqueur again—
—but then she was sliding over Broadway, and saw the source of the alert.
A two-story towering translucent green blob was blocking traffic. Some cars had actually driven into it, and people were trapped inside. The thing had no eyes, no mouth, no internal organs that Sue could see, but a small blue-and-red figure swung around it on strands of webbing, distracting it.
Sue Storm hiccuped and gestured. To the people around her, she seemed to be floating in mid-air, gesturing like a wizard. Her head pounded as she concentrated hard, forming an invisible forcefield beneath the great green blob. With a mental effort, she lifted it up.
Her wounded leg shook. The damned thing was heavy, and the strain of lifting it and maintaining the invisible force field was telling on her. The Spider-person distracting it noticed, and threw something into the middle of the blob.
Something happened then. It looked, to the inebriated Invisible Woman, like the green slime was being drawn down a drain, the inner green goop displaying a whirlpool pattern toward some small point that was whatever the Spider-person had tossed in there. Sue understood instinctively what was needed: hold the damned thing in place until it disappeared.
Both hands came up in front of her as she visualized the sphere that encapsulated the shrinking ooze. Her head screamed at her. Blood oozed from her nose. Her left leg gave out entirely and Sue balanced precariously on one leg until the last vestige of the green goop vanished.
Then she collapsed. Her force fields vanished, and she fell toward the street.
A small figure caught her before she landed...and Sue Storm awoke to find herself sucking on Spider-Ham's snout.
What is Spider-Ham doing here!?
