Scorpion's second outting proves to be much more entertaining than his first. It feels like Lee and Ditko have found a groove again, and each issue goes by fast, but in a satisfying manner. I really, really loved Jameson in this one, my god. Also, Ned Leeds is back and he couldn't come any sooner. With Liz out of the picture, there needs to be a third wheel to spur up some drama... I know it'll be very short lived drama, but drama nonetheless! It seems like Ditko really knew where he was going here. We get references to next issue's villain, we get the impending Doom with the Peter/Betty relationship and we get the first sign of Aunt May's illness. I'm sure this build will only help the epic three-parter that's about to happen.

Wacky Moments: Scorpion gets his suit back in prison to "calm him down". Spidey talks to Scorpion while they are fighting underwater.

Jonah is great. Looks like this comic was adapted by Spider-Man 2000 game. Not a bad second appearance of Scorpion at all!
