• With enemies bearing down on him from every side, Ben Reilly's running out of options and running out of time!
• It doesn't help that one of the people out for Ben's blood is his spider-powered web-slinging sibling KAINE!

(Pre-Hindsight: My guess is mistaken, but I like it so much I'm preserving it anyway. Turns out, we're *supposed* to pull out our Peter David Character Concordance and look at Marlo's shenanigans in Captain Marvel and Chaos War to figure out what this "Marlo's" arrival might portend.)
Will Sliney's art is … man, I hated his art on 2099. Yet this issue's visuals work for me. Mr. Sliney is still Marvel's biggest SketchUp fan when it comes to backgrou more
