Let’s get right to it. Brutal. Like a supercharged version of ASM 3’s first meeting between the two. However… With the upper hand, our man starts some quality rambling while webbing up…
Month: December 2024
USM 017
Back to the main book, and maybe this month, Spider-Man and Doc Ock will cross paths. I’d say so! Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter’s manager is showing him a new graphic of him…
