The end of Spider-Man? Sandman is in town, and Spider-Man is cringing in fear?!
It's a solid issue that has a good story that sets up for an intriguing follow up, but it's real impact is yet to be felt. And we'll have to wait for issue #19 to possibly feel that impact. Read Full Review
Very touchy and innovative issue for that time...
Peak Spider-Man.
This was a very bold issue. Peter spends the entire issue afraid for his aunt, while his public image goes to ruin. It's very ambitious for the time, in my opinion. The only issue I have here is how easily things work out in time for the next issue. It's just a huge amount of contrivance. But I still really like what this issue is and tried to be.
Quote of the issue: "For I Know At Last That a Man Can't Change His Destiny... And I Was Born to be... Spider-Man!!!"
