ASM 289 would be a nice, clean ending for this block, but there’s a few loose ends to tie up. Starting with 2 issues of Web in which Christopher Priest tries to…

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 286
Bit of a tip off there. This month, Priest is no longer working from a plot by DeFalco, leaving it up to him to bring this mess in for a landing. Art…

TAC 124
My understanding is that, because ASM was doing this big and important Gang War story, the other 2 titles were kind of meant to hang back. There’s a lot of flashback material…
