Love that \u201cLAST ISSUE!\u201d blurb. Truly something to be proud of, in this case. Look who it is. I had no intention of trying to talk my way through this nonsense during Block 10 years ago, so this goes here. So, I skipped the New Warriors issue, but this one is going to recap it, because of course it is, and for once, that\u2019s good news. Well, relatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paid $2 for this, too. What is the deal with the black-haired woman? Look at her on the next page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Did she wander in from a Beetlejuice comic? Did Speedball just accidentally kill Lydia Deetz? Meanwhile, at FBI headquarters, Briggs\u2019 boss, a Mr. Stone, from last issue, wants everyone to go fight Scarlet, and also don\u2019t tell Briggs, because she\u2019s too close to the situation. Fine, whatever, but too bad for him, she\u2019s on her way already. She senses he\u2019s gonna want to experiment on her partner, and she wants to try to help him first. Ah, yes, the FBI, known for doing science experiments on hologram cyborgs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firestar recognizing Ben asks more questions than it answers. She\u2019s met Spider-Man several times, including relatively recently, at this time. So if she recognizes that voice, she should have also recognized Ben\u2019s voice as Spider-Man\u2019s, and once again, the fact that a random dude the with the exact same powers as Spider-Man has shown up should be weird. Ah, well. They didn\u2019t care, why should I? Also, is Speedball off the team or not? Whichever it is, he comes flying out of the building just then, having been hit by the Spider, and the baddie comes after him, so the hostages are safe. Except maybe Lydia. The ever-growing Spider-Bot hits everyone with a sonic blast, which also endangers several nearby helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spidey keeps talking as they chase continues, eventually saying the robot man\u2019s gonna pay for copying his old costume and ruining his reputation, and now the Scarlet-Bot really wants to kill him. \u201cI can\u2019t believe the guy with the same powers as The Scarlet Spider is The Scarlet Spider!\u201d SS hits our hero with a blinding light, uh, blinding him, and then socks him really hard, sending him falling to the ground below just as Briggs shows up. But don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what\u2019s meant to have happened there. Justice saves the good guys with his telekinesis as the bad guy crashes into the pavement. But that doesn\u2019t stop him, and he\u2019s back on his feet and ready to attack, until Briggs steps between him and the heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Obviously, this works, because it\u2019s that kind of story, and Wade turns back into Wade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That web is not coming from his webshooter, period. And with that, Web of Spider-Man comes to its ignominious end. Woof. What a way to go. Marvel Team-Up went out with an X-Men guest spot. Web gets a pointless pile of junk forced to exist by greedy marketing people. Ah, well. Can\u2019t win \u2018em all. Glad to have this turkey over with. But there\u2019s still more loose ends to wrap up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
