That doesn’t look good! Well, poor Liz Allen freaks out and flies away super fast in a wild and uncontrolled manner. Peter tells Johnny to go after her as Kitty freaks out with him.
Bobby just watching at first is pretty funny.
Aw, Liz.
Man, look at Kong. Who could’ve predicted this back in the old days, huh? Peter takes the hint and runs off. MJ looks cross, but Kitty says she didn’t tell Kong, and Kong smugly agrees with her. He figured it out so long ago! I don’t even remember what issue it was offhand, it’s been so long. And Bendis just kinda had the kids brush it off, but nothing is ever wasted. Well, zooming over Manhattan, we find Iceman coaching a terrified Liz on how to control her flight, and making some progress. But she can’t figure out how to stop going, so he eventually surrounds her in ice, putting out her flame and bringing her to a stop on a rooftop. He ices up a privacy screen around her as someone off-panel says this is her first super hero lesson…
Very much like the “are you serious?”
Spidey keeps trying to give her the “with great power” speech, but she’s not interested. Then she asks him if he goes to her school, and he says yes, and she says she won’t go back. When he says he does, she says why would she ever go back to school…
Such a spot on teenage boy moment. So funny. Spidey catches up to her, and she starts grilling him about who he really is under that mask. And, you know, I know he’s protective of his secret, but literally everyone else at that bonfire knows, why not Liz? But their discussion is cut short by the arrival of…
…the shocking ending that was spoiled on the cover. Never understand why they do that so often.
