• Sorceress MISTY BECK has uncovered a demonic artifact of unbelievable power and made an entire casino disappear for access to it!
• This isn't the cheap parlor trick of a two-bit magician, folks, Misty's the real deal, and only the SCARLET SPIDER and the Slinger DUSK stand in her way!
• Will Misty's nefarious scheme return her father MYSTERIO back to his old tricks, or will an even worse fate befall the father and daughter?
Rated T+
Given the lengths the story took to get Mysterio up to fighting strength, I was surprised how quickly the comic abandons what could have been a major villain for our heroes. We'll have to wait and see just what kind of fallout their is from the father/daughter actions. For fans. Read Full Review
Ben Reilly's latest excursion with the supernatural takes an unfortunate turn in the latest issue of Scarlet Spider #19. Read Full Review
Misty's misguided plan to grab some serious mystical power gets foiled by Ben. Technically by her dad, and then HE has to be foiled by Ben, but it's all the same in the end. This issue offers up some quality ideas undercut by shoddy execution, and the whole thing seems rushed. Kaine and the casino stuck in the Darkforce Dimension were wasted, and Mysterio's "I'll get you all" monologuing feels even more cliched than it was supposed to. I still have an irrational love for the art, and I wish it got more to work with in the DD.
