Roger Stern, Jim Mooney & Bruce Patterson bring us Peter Parker sitting in his office at ESU on a Saturday, worrying about the events of ASM 210 when Phil Chang walks in. He thinks Peter looks pretty down about losing his job and all, so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s one of the Dragon Gang-Lords from back in ASM 184<\/a>–185.<\/a> Phil actually says, out loud, \u201cI once took a vow never to raise my fist in anger, but I can still grab that guy and hold him until the police can be called!\u201d When I see a dangerous gang leader who tried to kill me once, I, too, think \u201cgonna grab ‘im!\u201d Pete & Phil rush off after him, but he hops in a van. What\u2019s a van to a Spider-Man, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spidey takes off after Tommy, who is spotted by a guy in a helicopter who asks why he\u2019s early to the thing. Tommy says he thought he\u2019d be safer cruising around awhile. The guy in the helicopter sees Spidey, and Tommy starts trying to drive in places with buildings further apart so Spidey can\u2019t swing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Whoops! Spidey has no choice but to leap from car to car in traffic until he\u2019s on the van. But that only lasts a couple of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spidey leaps off the van (Didn\u2019t they worry about shooting Tommy?), which escapes into a tunnel, leaving Spidey defeated. The dude in the helicopter radios his boss, as seen on the cover, who thinks he\u2019ll have to take care of Spider-Man. Spidey goes home to call Aunt May to see if he can come visit tomorrow, but ends up getting more than he bargained for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

That shock sends him right back out as Spider-Man. He hangs out in the old Dragon Gang headquarters hoping Tommy will show up, and he does. Very nice of him. Tommy is scared into taking Spider-Man to the boss\u2019s place, which leads to this bit of business\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u2026before Spider-Man arrives at The Smuggler\u2019s hideout, and begins making quick work of his goons. Smuggler tries to get the drop on him, but come on, it\u2019s a guy who\u2019s supervillain name is \u201cThe Smuggler,\u201d what chance does he have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

While he\u2019s no match for Spider-Man, The Smuggler proves too tough to stay down, and that\u2019s when Spidey runs out of web fluid. He\u2019s only able to get a few feet of web out, which he ties around his foe, but that leads him to a weird predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the issue is a back-up story featuring our old pal, The White Tiger, but that\u2019s a little outside the purview of this blog, so I\u2019m skippin\u2019 it. Sorry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
