I mean, one of them, from the look of things, unless the jumpin\u2019 guy is a redesign of the caped guy from last time. Jimmy Palmiotti inks this one solo. We open on the guys blowing themselves up last issue, then move to a lab where The Foreigner, last seen around here just being introduced in TAC 116<\/a>, oversees scientists about to do their thing to some new goons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Not the brightest goons. Cut to Spider-Man creeping up on Betty\u2019s place, thinking about how The Foreigner was responsible for her husband\u2019s death, and finding her dressed like a lady Rambo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ludicrous. Especially given how all this \u201cBetty-as-vigilante\u201d stuff will be dropped almost immediately. At any rate, Spider-Man follows her on her quest, all the way to New Jersey, where she puts a gun in security guard\u2019s face to get into a corporate building that is apparently a front for The Foreigner. As she ties him up and runs inside, Spidey follows. And then we see the guard was The Foreigner wearing a mask, easily freeing himself and telling his goons the game is afoot. This comic is very goofy. As Betty wonders if she\u2019s gone too far, Spider-Man flashes back to their entire history together really, really fast for the reader. Lost in her thoughts, Betty wonders at the lack of guards in her way, and then…\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The reek of the 90s on this! Spidey is kicked in the chest by \u201cSwift-1,\u201d the guy on the cover, I guess a 3rd variety of Foreigner goon. They fight around a bit until Spider-Man\u2019s web is cut by a pulse beam very much like the ones from last issue for a 2nd time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The idea that they\u2019re, I dunno, brainwashing\/genetically manipulating goons is whatever, but the fact that all the \u201cPulse\u201d models have to have the same hair is very funny. Spidey manages to lower Betty out a window against her wishes as he\u2019s attacked by Swift, who pummels him through the air without worrying about surviving. Spidey gets a web out and swings them to the ground only for \u201cSilence\u201d to chuck a knife into \u201cSwift,\u201d killing him without a care. Spidey leaps onto Silence just as Pulse lines up a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Foreigner reveals there\u2019s a price on Spider-Man\u2019s head, and he was using Betty to get to him. Then, as \u201cWarfare\u201d begins the now customary self-destruct, Foreigner promises Spidey he\u2019ll see \u201cThe Death Squad\u201d again, and also makes one casual reference before the place goes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was Ned The Hobgoblin? Was that misdirect? Seems like a 50\/50 chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
