Well, this looks bad. Pretty significant team change inside, with Peter David taking over writing and Sal Buscema taking over pencils. Bob McLeod hangs on for finishes and Bob Sharen for colors. MJ and Peter are surveying the damage to his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were rank amateurs!\u201d is maybe not the most comforting thing to focus on at the moment, sir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years? I should hope he remembers the circumstances of how he got all his stuff, since he got it all at the same time in ASM 163<\/a>. Peter thinks maybe he could just turn the kids in, but he doesn\u2019t know any of their names. MJ can tell he\u2019s gonna spider up regardless and takes her leave. Her unease about this situation and theirs is pretty palpable here. Soon our man is swinging away from the scene of the crime, and he finds his prey with surprising ease. They\u2019re just walking down the street talking about how they\u2019re not scared of Spider-Man. They split up, and the leader, Reno, heads home to try to talk his hitman brother into taking him when he leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is an extremely Peter David gag. \u201cMiss Crime Bust?\u201d $1000 for\u2026 for what? This is weird. Meanwhile, at The Bugle, JJJ is furious the story about Peter was buried in the back of the paper. Robbie says it\u2019s because they both have a policy against vigilantes, but JJJ cuts him off, saying he only hates Spider-Man and what Peter did was heroic. He wants to cover Peter\u2019s award from The Times on the front page and write an editorial about how New York needs more people like Peter and none like Spider-Man. Robbie\u2019s not into it and doesn\u2019t back down. JJJ gives in. But Robbie tells Kate Cushing JJJ was right, that he let his personal opinions get in the way of the story. While they talk, cops round up the 3 kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think that little aside about TAC Annual 5<\/a> means we\u2019re going to be seeing Ace again, well, you got it. Peter impulsively signs his $1000 over to Mrs. Muggins to get her off his back before realizing he really needed it. Meanwhile, Hector the hitman bails his brother and friends out of jail. Peter heads to The Bugle, hoping to get an advance, but finds everyone celebrating his heroism. JJJ says he has big plans for Peter as soon as Now Magazine is up and running. He leaves Peter in his office to read the editorial he\u2019s written about him, which of course, compares him to that no good Spider-Man.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s really getting pushed over the edge a lot lately. Reno hangs up the phone at his place, happy to think he\u2019s terrified Peter\u2026 and then Hector announces he\u2019s off to kill Peter. The other boys are not into this, saying they could go to prison for hiring a hitman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s Spider Sense warns him not to go out the skylight. Hector decides he\u2019ll just have to go over there and kill Peter face to face. Spider-Man emerges from the apartment once the danger sense goes silent. And misses a call from Mary Jane, who decides to go over and give him someone to talk to. But now Hector has kicked in the door and, finding the place empty, decides to wait til Peter comes back. But he\u2019s off finding the kids, who\u2019re running to stop his assassination. He assumes they\u2019re running from some ill deed, and webs them up, mouths included, to wait for whoever\u2019s chasing them. Webbed silent, they can\u2019t tell him they\u2019re trying to stop him from being murdered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perplexed, Spider-Man rips the web off Reno\u2019s face, and quickly learns of the impending attempt on his life. He leaves the boys webbed up and swings off. MJ arrives at the apartment, thinking Peter seems to have more problems than anyone possibly could. She enters the apartment without thinking much of the door being ajar\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bit of an awkward wrap-up. I kind of assumed this would carry into next issue given the reading order they published. Maybe it will, somehow. As of this issue, Danny Fingroth is gone, as randomly as he arrived. And after one more fill-in by Peter David, a very familiar name will take over for awhile. Wonder what dragged Danny away so fast he could only plot half a 2-part story. I guess I\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
