[First appearance of MJ in the flesh but we don't get to see her face & hair]
Spider-man must do battle with J. Jonah Jameson's Spider-Slayer!
I love how this issue focuses on Peter kinda bringing all the drama on himself due to him needing money but also his arrogance in knowing he’s Spidey and it almost backfires. It’s nice to see a character so human. You can really see why Marvel became Spudey. By this time he has outshined Ff all the way.
Spider-man must do battle with J. Jonah Jameson's Spider-Slayer!
An issue focused on JJJ? Sign me up. It is a bit silly at times, but I thought it was a good time. This review isn't really much, but I'm really not feeling well, but I'll make it up eventually.

I'm sick at the moment so I find it kind of difficult to really put in the effort with these reviews, but I committed to this re-read and nothing will stop me, save for impending death. I really enjoyed this issue. JJJ was the highlight as always. I liked how they changed up the pace with the villain, and it's really getting annoying how Peter and Betty's relationship amounts to one of them being more
A startling mystery tale where Spider-man "Goes Mad"!

The issue is fun to read as Spudy deals with a different antagonist, his mind. The villain revel is rather funny. Peters love life is a little disjointed and not as fun but overall good book.

Spider-Man gets gaslighted by Mysterio. Yeah, that's what I like.

Don't waste a minute! You've got to see Spidey in action against: The Goblin and the Gangsters!
Iron Man learns that Hogan has been kidnapped from the hospital, and he follows the clues to a secret castle.
Hm, I'm not a fan of Circus of Crime and it was here only a few issues before, but I took a long pause between these issues, and I must admit, for some reason I liked this story. It was really funny and partly silly in a good way.
New thrills! New Villains! New Surprises! as Spider-man takes on the Clown and his Masters of Menace!

Spidey strikes back! Guest starring the Human Torch and featuring such villains as the Sandman and the Evil Enforcers!
Not as good as last issue unfortunately. I just really dislike The Enforcers. What we get is a fairly standard Spider-Man, which I guess makes up for such a different tale last time. Assuming things go to plan, this should be my last short review. I'm caught up for at o least a few hours. I'll be much more inclined to do full reviews. Ned Leeds is formally introduced after appearing last issue. Hemore

Sandman was a pussy in these days... Captured by two cops with their bare hands... So stupid and lame...

This was a very bold issue. Peter spends the entire issue afraid for his aunt, while his public image goes to ruin. It's very ambitious for the time, in my opinion. The only issue I have here is how easily things work out in time for the next issue. It's just a huge amount of contrivance. But I still really like what this issue is and tried to be.

The end of Spider-Man? Sandman is in town, and Spider-Man is cringing in fear?!
