EVERGREEN Throw Mama From The Train reference on the cover. Brilliant. The way \u201cSPIDEY\u201d is emphasized has made it worse for me since the day it came out, for some reason. Let\u2019s move on. Al Milgrom inks this month, because Pat Olliffe requires at least one Al every issue, and the team starts by remaking the splash from ASM 2<\/a>\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting choice. As they fight, Spider-Man lets us know Vulture broke out of jail this morning with a pre-programmed set of wings that swooped in and carried him out of the prison yard, and now he\u2019s trying to make some money getting pictures of him. But the fight\u2019s not going so well for our hero, who gets thrown into a roof pretty hard. He webs onto Vulture\u2019s back, as he so often does, and is taken on a joyride, as he so often is, until he has to bail before Vulture smashes him into a billboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, then. The next day, Aunt May is going to Florida yet again, and wants Peter to see an optometrist about not needing glasses anymore. He heads to school, thinking he just doesn\u2019t anymore, and worrying an eye doctor might see something weird in his eyes that would expose his identity. Bit far-fetched, but totally in character. Then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How did Flash cut the bottoms off those bottles? I assume they\u2019re the glass kind. Pushing Liz\u2019s eventual change of heart on Peter a little early here. At any rate, hours later, Spider-Man is on the scene at the military base where the accelerator is stored. And it isn\u2019t just guarded by the military, it\u2019s guarded by General Thunderbolt Ross, The Hulk\u2019s nemesis, who is not exactly the most level-headed guy. Spider-Man tries to warn him of The Vulture\u2019s plan, but Ross dismisses him and tells his men to arrest him, and Spider-Man flees in a hail of gunfire. Ya try to help a guy\u2026 And that\u2019s Peter\u2019s lunch break, so it\u2019s back to school and gym class where, as Peter showers later, Jason steals his gym bag, leaving him with nothing but a towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sally and Jason breaking with the gang. Why, it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re only supporting cast members in this title, so the team has more leeway with them. Soon, at The Bugle, Peter\u2019s checking railroad times, telling Betty it\u2019s because Aunt May is going to Florida by train, but obviously, really because of The Vulture. He thinks she\u2019s really going by car with The Abbotts, but we already saw them leave, so\u2026 bit of a hiccup there. JJJ storms by demanding pictures of The Vulture, but Peter\u2019s camera is in the shop, so that\u2019s probably not happening. Cut to the evening, and Spider-Man approaching the train to try to help. But the soldiers are waiting for him, and fire a big net over him. It\u2019s strong enough to contain him, even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Our man races off and lands on Vulture\u2019s back, briefly stealing the accelerator back before Vultch pops him a good one and manages to re-grab it. They flight takes them back by the train, where soldiers begin shooting indiscriminately at both of them. Vulture actually tosses the accelerator to Spider-Man to go knock all the soldiers off the train, forcing our hero to hang onto the dangerous thingie while also webbing up a cushion for them to land on, even as Vulture swoops back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201c–your luck can change when you least expect it!\u201d he says, webbing onto the accelerator. With his feet planted on the train, he points out the oncoming tunnel to his winged foe, telling him he\u2019ll either give up the accelerator or slam into the wall with it and explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egad! What could Jason be up to? Outside of killing or unmasking Peter, it\u2019s kind of wide open since he\u2019s not in ASM. We shall soon see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
