A surprisingly specific cover for the period. Cover date for this one is September 2002. UMTU is way behind. But UMTU 11 couldn’t happen til after Gwen Stacy was introduced, and none…

PPSM 41
Look at these misshapen homunculi. This issue begins with Spider-Man telling us various facts about octopuses as he discover Fusion is somehow not dead. He’s calling for medical assistance. An extension on…
PPSM 40
I do not understand the significance of the statuary on these covers. Well, Spider-Man is now wrapped up in Octo-tentacles, and Fusion wants to know how Spider-Man found them. As happens perhaps…

MTU 083
Part 2 of this insane storyline. Same staff as the previous one. Page one, Spider-Man is laid out in the snow. Claremont’s typically flowery prose says he was, “in a word, murdered.”…
