Here’s a weird thing. I bought this from McKay’s not remembering that I actually had a random copy of this issue from when I was a kid. No idea why, really, but…

This whole monster thing is a pretty unexpected turn. That’s kind of a bold cover, only showing Spider-Man’s arm. Well, Dr. Kafka and Edward have been taken underground by these critters, Kafka…

The Death of Vermin? How can this be, as we have seen him in future comics? Could it be a swerve? We shall see. Weird cover! Weird kiss! We begin with the…
