This month, regular inker Randy Emberlin tags in and Bob Sharen colors solo. Emberlin’s appearance is rather remarkable in how he’s normalizing Spider-Man. Johnson’s Spider-Man was pretty off-model last issue, but Emberlin,…

What’s this? What is this comic? A Todd McFarlane cover? Yes, it’s all happening. This is the first of 4 special issues made to want kids about various things. I believe it…
