    This was a solid issue. The tonal shift between this storyline and the previous continues to be felt, but Wells is able to make it make some sense on the final two pages. Yes, the previous three issues, as well as this one, have been a lot more fun and lighthearted compared to Issues 21-26, but it allowed Peter and Norman to be distracted from Kamala's death for a little bit. I do still think it's a little weird, especially considering the first issue of this current arc started out with Peter being clouded by her death, but at least we got some sort of explanation. As for the story itself, it wasn't bad at all and it just felt like a solid comic book story. Nothing more and nothing less. With the return of Superior Spider-Man coming up, I'm pretty sure Otto will be showing up in Dan Slott's current Spider-Man run if he hasn't already (At the time of this writing, I have yet to read it). I'm just hoping this series can rise back up to the quality it was during its first 18 issues. I think Wells is a very talented writer and this run gets a over-hated a bunch.
