In my last review, I forgot to mention one of the funniest parts about this new Vulture. He is so insistent that no one can beat a man with wings, but he only has them because the original Vulture was his cellmate in prison, after being defeated while using those same wings.

The thing about this issue that I personally really enjoy is its pacing. You've got almost a straight half-and-half of Peter's personal life vs Spider-Man's antics. It creates what feels like a very well-rounded issue, partly because both villains' motivations are already, or quickly, established. The drama on the Peter side of things is a little silly. It's treated almost Archie-esque by the ending. But it is a fun issue, nonetheless.

I don't have a ton to say about this one, despite how much I liked it. I feel like Kraven and NuVulture were dispatched with the respect they deserve, and things wrap up very neatly. I'm excited to get to issue 50 as that one I think I'll have more to say about.
