This team-up seems unlikely to occur inside. For the big finish, McLeod shares pencil duties with Lee Weeks, but continues as \u201cfinisher,\u201d which implies a heavy hand on the Weeks material. We shall see, I don\u2019t recall the change in personnel from when I was young. Master of Vengeance is about to kill Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuh\u201d just feels very 1990s. Spidey dodges some of the guy\u2019s blasts as he goes out a window, swinging away and circling back so MoV doesn\u2019t know he\u2019s being followed. The villain apparently still has his Spider-Man mimicking stuff on, and begins climbing down a wall as he rants, allowing Spidey to dropkick him from above while making fun of his awkward villain name. MoV crashes to the ground, but gets right back up and starts zapping some more. Back inside, Punisher frees himself by ripping chunks of the decrypt old wall off where he\u2019s webbed to it, now walking around with plaster webbed to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Spider-Man\u2019s tough talk, MoV is still standing after those attacks. He begins a long rant about how all his poor choices were Spider-Man\u2019s fault, very Venom-esque, as the idiot reporter from earlier in this story pulls up in a van with her camera man and walks right up to the guy, just utterly clueless about the danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gran\u2019t sort of world weary take on Spider-Man is pretty fun here. Still quippy, but in a kind of tired way. Vengy comes running back into his lab for more juice, only to find Punisher still there, holding the rest of his supply, telling him he\u2019s lost to addiction. Frank\u2019s about to shoot when Spider-Man webs the barrel of his gun in another direction. Spidey\u2019s banter really starts to get to MoV as he snatches a vial of his stuff from Frank and drinks it. He starts zapping again (If the zaps come from the gloves, why did he need the serum?), and Spider-Man leaps around, tricking him into shooting out all the load bearing walls and collapsing the ceiling on himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spider-Man dives in to try to pry the gloves off his foe and save him, but Punisher clocks him in the head with the butt of his gun and drags an unconscious Spider-Man out of the building, allowing MoV to blow up a whole big chunk of the building. Waking up, Spider-Man is furious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

But Frank\u2019s not leaving, he\u2019s just getting up onto a nearby roof. Spidey\u2019s being crushed to death, but that doesn\u2019t stop him from feeling a different pull from his Spider Sense, seeing the reflection of Frank\u2019s sight, and then fighting desperately to keep a thankless MoV from being executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems unlikely, Pete! Hard to find much trace of Lee Weeks in there. A few Punisher faces in the back half, but McLeod kept things pretty consistent. He\u2019s definitely an inker who makes his presence felt. These 3 were our only Spider-Mans this block. Next up, we return to ASM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
