Always fun to see these two together. This is Claremont’s last regular issue as writer on MTU, with pencils by Mike Nasser for most of the issue and Rich Buckler for the…

TAC 037
That Mike Nasser cover feels so different. Guys like him were doing stuff that seems much more contemporary now. Inside, Pablo Marcoss waps in on inks, but otherwise, same team. Spider-Man is…
TAC 036
Now there’s a Ditko-inspired Spider-Man. And Swarm, the Nazi swarm of bees that walks like a man, last seen in these parts far in the future in Sensational #9. I believe this…
Spider-Woman 20

MTU 086

End of Block 31

ASM 169
This one sure was allowed to simmer. 18 issues after Peter got rid of the clone, like half a year since JJJ came into possession of the photos, we’re finally gonna see…
