The year of the reader! Anyone reading after 1987 is wasting their time! I have no idea what that means. A blurb on the splash tells us this comic takes place after…

WEB 029
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,…
