Hearing about the Vulture's defeat of Spider-Man, Kraven becomes furious that he was denied his right to defeat the wall crawler and vows to hunt down his new enemy.
No critic ratings have been found for this issue.
This one is such a banger, as a Spiderman villain team up usually is, I do love how Spiderman decides he's the only one who gets to beat up on his adversaries, and doesn't let them fight each other. I do wish Stan Lee would allow for a little more showing than telling, Romita is doing a great job, we don't need the constant meticulous play by play.
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 more
For the last time, Aunt May, it's "pussycat" & not "pussywillow"!
