PPSM 18
Great cover! I love this scribbly hatching phase for Romita. Fan bloggin never stops. But, crushingly, interiors are courtesy of Graham Nolan. No slight to him, but anyone but Romita is a…
ASM V2 18
Not the best cover to announce your biggest villain is back. “Can you guess whose hands these are?” This issue is John Byrne’s last (Huzzah!) and to send him off in style,…

PPSM 15
Pow, right in the jaw! How much could that really hurt in a suit of armor? That webline taut against Spider-Man’s throat sure is an odd choice. And yet, one assumes a…
