SM 36
Because Venom was so nice before. It’s taken them half the crossover to get the weapons they know work on symbiotes, let’s see if that changes anything. This month, it’s Terry Kavanagh’s…
WEB 101
This month, WEB is Terry Kavanagh, Alex Saviuk, Don Hudson and Bob Sharen. The inker job on this book was all over the place for awhile. Well, Spider-Man’s still in that alley,…

TWO Enforcers appearances in 5 issues! Madness. Banking everything on a cowboy, a tiny mobster, and a big dumb dude. We open on some dudes robbing a bank in broad daylight and…

UTS 21
And now, Spider-Man’s going to meet The X-Men for the first time. But we’ve seen him meet them for the first time in X-Men 35, pretty definitively, so this isn’t going to…
