Big finish for this wacky adventure. This issue’s splash page is a different angle on the last panel of the previous issue, so it’s right where we left off. I just really…

Death-Web? Deathweb? I think Death-Web. Dann Thomas is back to co-writing as of this issue. Apparently, between issues, Spider-Man charged them and got knocked back toward Iron Man, who says he “ordered…

If this is gonna swerve, the cover sure isn’t tellin’. Aunt May has a huge yard! Look at all that empty green space. Does Aunt May own a car? I don’t think…
