Two to Sew

"Spike: Shadow Puppets" was a mini-series of comics based on Angel. It was also a sequel of sorts to "Smile Time" and Spike: Asylum.

The Story So Far
Previously in Spike: Shadow Puppets

Hosted by Betta George

Let me just get this out of the way and tell everyone what an honor it is that I, a simple telepathic fish, one who is neither capable of speech nor necessarily canonical, was asked to recap the first two issues. I will do my best. Smile Time was a kids’ show wherein the puppet stars would suck the life-force out of their audience through the television, leaving them in comas. Angel, whom I‘ve never met, but sounds like a pip and looks like the dude from Bones, defeated them, but not before turning into a puppet on his own self. End of story? Oh, no, sir!

See, Smile Time was still going strong in Japan. Same evil plans, mostly all-new puppets. BECK, a young fire starter, found this out and headed to Japan, adorable telepathic fish in tow, where she enlisted the aid of TOK, a lady ninja. But Beck also contacted same she met a few months and another series ago: William the Bloody or as the cover of the book says, SPIKE.

Spike headed to Japan, adorable crooning demon by the name of LORNE in tow, where they were immediately ambushed by Smile Time’s horde of Ninja Puppets. I pretty much swooped in and saved the day (don’t bother re-reading issue 2, that’s exactly what happened). We all headed to Smile Time’s head quarters to blow the crap outta the joint, when Spike, Lorne and myself were blasted by a beam of light from a giant egg and well…it changed us. How, you say? Just read on, I think back to you. Man that was difficult to write. I blame my lack of hands.

Synopsiss
Well, now they did it. Smile Time has turned Spike into a puppet. But if they think that's gonna stop him, they don't know Spike. Half as tall. Twice as mad. Five times as adorable. It's wall-to-wall, puppet vs. puppet, hard-hitting action.
