A lotta punch-flying on this cover. SSS is Todd DeZago flying solo, Sal Buscema on breakdowns, Jimmy Palmiotti on finishes, and John Kalisz on colors this month. And it opens with the man usually known as The Looter having been cybernetically enhanced, which somehow seems to have also made him Hulk-big, and he\u2019s been given a thoroughly forgettable new 90s look that, as we\u2019ve seen, will be discarded almost immediately in Sensational Spider-Man #8<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure how being able to mentally control mechanical objects lets you\u2026 make a forklift fall over\u2026 but ok. Fester throws the forklift at Override, saying he doesn\u2019t need cybernetics to be strong (Good thing, too), but Aura deflects it and the Doc Ock calls time on this exercise. As she tells her super-goons to be ready for tonight, we learn the FBI has an agent embedded in her regular goon squad. That probably won\u2019t end well for him, but don\u2019t ask me, I sure don\u2019t remember. Meanwhile, Ben Reilly goes to see Seward Trainer in the hospital while recapping the storyline, and is told his old buddy\u2019s condition hasn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Or you could just show up as a superhero, you know. You don\u2019t have to work for a mob boss, dumby\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie must\u2019ve dyed her hair since last issue. Also she seems like she could hold her own with Shang-Chi, I\u2019m not sure these regular people are going to be able to master her moves. But that\u2019s Sal for ya. No half-measures on action. Ben tells her he can\u2019t see her tonight on account of his promotion at work, and she takes it very personally. I mean, a promotion at work for the dude you like sounds good to me, but you know, \u201cThe Ol\u2019 Parker Luck\u201d and all. He swears he\u2019s not blowing her off, but she leaves disappointed. Later, as Tos is reporting he\u2019s ready to send all the components they\u2019ve been hoarding to his mysterious partner, Ben Reilly reports for guard duty. He wants to get a tracer on the big guy taking the package, but then his co-worker Rachel, the other redhead who likes him, serves Tso a drink, and he throws it in her face, because he\u2019s a real cool guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It\u2019s fightin\u2019 time. Overdrive starts the fracas by making a semi truck drive right into the club. Then he overrides their security system and begins working on their vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Aura is holding off the assorted goons with her, uh, aura, but that leaves all the club-goers in the crossfire, so when The Scarlet Spider appears, his top priority is to smash a hole in the wall so they can get out. Then, as Override takes over messing with the goons, Scarlet starts trying to get into Aura\u2019s, well, aura, but isn\u2019t having much luck. Hey, what happened to the former Looter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oh, ok. Override is down already. These lames got the treatment they deserve, I guess. But then Norton rolls in. Scarlet give him a sock in the face, but that just makes him mad. Assuming this is Spider-Man, Norton announced The Looter is eager for some payback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, how did they get the chips to Smythe? Also, uh, that\u2019s Smythe\u2019s deal now. He\u2019s changed a lot since ASM 292, but we\u2019ve not seen it yet. Not exactly bringing out the heavyweights for this stunt. Alistaire Smythe vs. temporary Doc Ock. Yay. But, you know, if this had just been TAC 230 like it should\u2019ve, it wouldn\u2019t have felt like it was supposed to have some extra importance.
