This issue, like much of the past few issues, is plainly set-up for some big confrontations down the road. This Sinister Six that Fisk has gathered and his suggestion that they make the hunting of Spider-Man a game suggest we are in for a lot of fun.

I've enjoyed this series tremendously, but the last couple or three issues have felt like treading water. It feels like either I have forgotten where the plotlines from the first 10 or so issues were going or the writers have junked them, or maybe the writers have forgotten them. Jack is in a weird status where he seems to feel he's been somewhat redeemed, but he's not making any progress in exter more
