Ya heard it here first. That\u2019s who death is.It\u2019s funny to me how out of place Silvermane feels in the 90s. Because, like, look at him, 98% of him fits right in. Killer robot with a ton of detail. But the old man face is so the opposite of the \u201ctotally awesome!\u201d 90s. No Todd McFarlane or Rob Liefeld comic would\u2019ve had Grampa Robot in it. Anyways, Bob Sharen is joined by Renae Witterstaeter on colors this month, and we find Spider-Man waking up bound by a big contraption as Silverman looms over him. Silvio explains how he isn\u2019t dead, but we didn\u2019t see him die in the first place yet, so doesn\u2019t matter, and then explains that Spider-Man is feeling weaker because the machine he\u2019s hooked up to is draining his blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d think a blood stealin\u2019 machine wouldn\u2019t just be hooked to the forearms. Hey, what\u2019s MJ up to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel like the tracer tracker looks really different every time it comes back. But it\u2019s nice to see these 2 not doing stereotypical catty stuff. Felicia sets out on her mission, returning to where Spidey was last seen and heading out from there, hoping to get a ping from the tracker. This is the opposite of the mega tracer gag from Spider-Man #58<\/a> Meanwhile, in Silvermane\u2019s lair, the webbing Spider-Man is shooting into his restraints somehow makes them overload and explode. I don\u2019t get it, but I\u2019m not a pseudo-scientist. It\u2019s not just the blood machine that goes out, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boy, that was not a convincing ebay to get Spidey\u2019s mask off. That\u2019s weird. As our hero webs up the hole in the roof (For some reason?), he runs out of webfluid. And then the power comes back on, including Silvermane\u2019s cameras, so now our man\u2019s identity is at stake alongside his life. He does his best to cover his face and dodge Silvermane\u2019s attacks, but his significant blood loss is not helping him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So, with Felicia having lost her powers (One might say \u201cagain,\u201d even) in ASM 343<\/a>, is it really all that wise for her to be doing this? She\u2019s not being written as a clueless thrill junkie in this period, she should understand this is crazy. I guess she\u2019s just super nice. Peter kicks Silverman to try to stop him from activating his lasers, but it\u2019s too late. Felicia doesn\u2019t seem too bothered by them, tho, and Peter uses the brief pause to grab his mask back off the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much is making sense to me this issue. Not least Black Cat just getting up on the next page, no worse for wear. What? She comes at Silvermane with various kicks and things, and he mysteriously doesn\u2019t electrocute her. Spidey realizes he might be able to do more at Silvermane\u2019s computers, tho I fail to see how. As the robo-mob boss almost breaks Felicia, Spidey dives back in, and then all the computers start to blow up. But most of it seemed to blow up already, and Silvermane was no longer connected to any of it, so\u2026 what was that for? Silvermane rushes to a console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Weird thing to say to your ex-boyfriend whose face you were literally horrified by on a couple levels, but ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Pretty weak explanation for Silvermane knowing Peter\u2019s face was exposed, but it lines up with the haphazard nature of the rest of this issue. Speaking of, Peter returns home to his worried wife right as Dave Letterman is finishing up his Top Ten List (I miss those), and all is well. But watching from the skylight (Which is in the bathroom, which I assume probably shouldn\u2019t provide such a great view of the living room), Cat thinks to herself the tracer tracker didn\u2019t even help her. She just tracked Ripster\u2019s trail through the tunnels. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would Silvermane put a fake old man face on his new body? Or I guess on the fake body? This is confusing. Well, whatever his plans were, Silvermane wanders off into other characters\u2019 books from here. Deathlok, Daredevil, Nomad, even Hulk. He doesn\u2019t tangle with Spidey again until a miniseries called Power of Terror in 1995, which I skipped, and the next time he sees Spider-Man, it\u2019s Ben Reilly in the already covered Spider-Man #73. Not the rivalry this ending predicts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
