For the first time in a long time, I can tell you exactly where I got this comic. And when I first read it, which is not the same time. I first…
ASM 288
Weird, weird cover. Is that background supposed to imply Kingpin’s windows? The color trails behind Spider-Man’s jump make it look like he came up out of the floor. Back to Alan Kupperberg,…
ASM 287
I wonder who did this cover. My first instinct was Kyle Baker, based on how inky the Spider-Man is, but I’m not so sure. Maybe the interior artist inked by Kyle, which,…

WEB 027
Weird caption. Weird colors on this cover. There’s light blue fire back there. This month’s inevitable fill-in is by writer Dwight Zimmerman, penciler/inker Dave Simons, and colorist Marie Severin. Well, at least…
