Jul 27, 2002John Romita Jr. provides a traditional Doc Ock but I really couldn't care about the loon since he is a villain after all. He does however need to feed Mary Jane sometime. She's dangerously close to fading away. Read Full Review

Jul 30, 2002The Doctor Octopus fan in me was quite happy with this issue, as J. Michael Straczynski's new villains haven't really struck me as all that memorable, so it'll be nice to see him make use of a villain with a proven track record. Now I did feel that Dr. Octopus' was tricked a bit too easily, but J.

As for the plot snippets involving Peter Parker, I'll admit the scene with airport security was cute, and the scene where Mary Jane discovers why she's being considered for the role was a bit obvious in its presentation of the idea, but I'm sure that it's more true to life than Hollywood would be willing to admit. It's a shame that the rest of Mary Jane's scenes Read Full Review

Actually, what a coincidence again... Something is happening in California and Peter just need to fly there... Nice! But however, if not, then Otto would not be dead. I like that he independent enough. Only Otto could be the superior Spider-Man. And yeah, the scene in airport was bad... Too dumb. And yeah, another one-arc villain. And this one isn't that original... Just a copycat.
