Time to drag myself over the finish line of this one. They are still fighting, with florid, morose Peter Parker narration over it about how he’s a lightning rod keeping evil from…

PPSM 46
Those nubby little fingers. Like an animal paw. Look at the size of the Goblin’s glider. That seems inconvenient. Only 2 more issues of this… but so much more Ramos in the…
PPSM 45
Really vying for “Worst Cover Composition 2002.” Look how big Spider-Man’s foot is. Who even is that in the middle? Peter? This sucks so bad. We open on a battered Peter in…
