Poor Pete strikes out with Gwen again.
This one does a little better than last issue. The Looter is an F-List villain if there ever was one, but his ego is entertaining enough. He's less of a nothing than Molten Man is. And while there wasn't a ton of a new developments on the Peter Parker front, there was something. The art is again really good. It's just a shame that more interesting villains seem to be out of consideration for the remainder of Ditko's run on the title.
