Despite some fairly thin story logic which pushes the suspension of disbelief to the limit in places Nightcrawlers awareness (via Emma Frost and Cerebra) of an enquiry that the Black Cat made via an internet search engine the night before she gets kidnapped is one example; Garrisons convenient invulnerability to Francis powers is another Smith has somehow pulled things together a little since last issue to make this a reasonably satisfying story on its own terms. Even if it never really rises above the average, at least it isnt the train wreck that a brief synopsis of the issues themes connected with Kevin Smiths name might suggest. Heres hoping the last issue doesnt throw it away with yet another ill-advised retconned rape, because without a very good reason for his final plot development this issue, Smith could find himself doing more harm than good to one of the strongest female characters in Spider-Mans supporting cast.

It's really not that bad, but toooooooo slow and you know, in the previous issue Spidey said that Francis was a telekinetic, but he's a telepath and in this issue it's correct. Also I really doubt the motivation of Francis. Like... He endured Brownstone sexually abusing him, he didn't care about him abusing many different women, he didn't really care about himself abusing the whore's mouth, but when he saw his brother trying to rape Cat, that was it! Meh, it's too naive and forced, especially the conclusion of this issue. Yeah, Felicia wasn't raped by Brownstone, but now she was raped somewhere in her past.
