Rated T
An issue that creates more questions than it answers, but that's ok as we're promised that the next issue is the conclusion. Mysterio has seemingly gained the power of Spider-Man's suit as Spidey mysteriously retreats from his enemy. He must have something up his sleeve and we the reader can't wait for the next issue to find out what it is. Spider-Man is on his way to meet with Aunt May when, all of a sudden" to be continued.

If you've stuck around up until this point, this interesting dive back into old Spidey continuity is certainly worth your time. Read Full Review
This story takes place in a very specific time in the Spidey timeline- the original story occurred when I was about 10 and reading the Spidey Books without a jaded sense of theyre just comics. All the little subplots- Black Cat and her luck powers, Peter on the outs with Aunt May, the strangeness of this alien suit all brings back a fun sense of nostalgia, and Peter David does a great job filling in the gaps the original story never had the space to tell. I cant imagine newer readers enjoying this much, given how confusing it would be with whats happening in the Venom title, but if you have even a cursory memory the symbiote saga from the late 80s, check this book out!

A fine issue in a fine series. This book is much better than I expected, which is still just fine not great. Read Full Review
This issue is just soaking in 80s Spidey nostalgia, and I like it.
"Did you know the Kingpin is actually the center pin in a bowling rack. It's called that because you have to hit that pin with your ball to knock down to the others. But i bet you don't go bowling much. It's sort of like this."
Okay.
