Only one identity left, and they spoiled it in TAC 256, because this title can’t do anything right. Prodigy! The most heroic of the 4. JM DeMatteis, Luke Ross, Al Milgrom &…
SM 91
Who’s Spider-Man this week? Dusk! Johnny really threw himself a softball on this one. It’s still Howard Mackie, John Romita, Jr., Scott Hanna and Gregory Wright on duty for this book. After…
ASM 434
This striking cover by Mark Buckingham is the egregious swipe of Joe Bennett from SMU 18 I caught last time we were in this period. I always liked this cover, it stuck…
SSM 27

SMU 05
As if Spider-Man hasn’t gone through enough trauma recently, now he has to do this guaranteed-to-be-stupid story. Once again, shout out the guy at the local flea market for putting a single…
