I guess I kinda missed these random Spider-Man side series... I think I'm going to read it pretty quick. It has Spider-Girl reprints in most of the issues, which I skip, because they are reprints and I'll definitely read them when the time comes. But there are also two new stories and the first one was about Kaine, which is okay. Not like a really needed tie-in to that story arc from ASM, but sets more

It was longer, than needed, but anyway, quite a cool filler. The second story was probably odd and made solely to tease what's coming next, but the first one about MJ was great. The last one was at least funny, so not a bad one either.

So... Now we know that Chameleon doesn't put important characters in the acid right away and waits for the acid to fill slowly. And also Chameleon likes to check his gun out just for the sake of it and he didn't plan to kill Harry. I love comics. Anyway, this was quite a solid story arc overall.

I really love when Chameleon is used like this... I can't stop remembering that story from Marvel Adventures where he was posing as aunt May pretty much the same way. But the problem is that it's not that funny here. Oh, let's see what happens next. The way Peter could survive the acid is insane already.

By the way, it's kinda insane Chameleon is the first (without retcons of Amazing Fantasy 16-18 and etc) Spider-Man's villains and he's not used much... I mean, the way he was shown here he's cool and intimidating. Which is great.
