Weird face on Spidey there. Weird spider symbol, too. Same creative team as last issue for the first time in a while on this title. Spider-Man has gone to Avengers Mansion, where…

TAC 105
Never too long between gang wars around here. It’s a plot by Christopher Priest (Under the name Jim Owsley, like everything he did back then), script by Peter David, pencils by Luke…
