This month, WEB is Terry Kavanagh, Alex Saviuk, Don Hudson and Bob Sharen. The inker job on this book was all over the place for awhile. Well, Spider-Man\u2019s still in that alley, all messed up, when some generic thugs show up to try to take advantage of the situation. But before they can do anything, in a 2-page splash, Cloak & Dagger appear to give them some reasons not to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cut away to MJ watching the news and recapping last issue, then to Liz dealing with her grief. MJ comes down to try to comfort her. Then it\u2019s over to Shriek & Doppleganger, who drops her on a roof to go back and kill Spider-Man. She thinks she\u2019ll have to reign him in sooner or later and follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meanwhile, at the seemingly abandoned church I guess Cloak & Dagger live in, Spider-Man wakes up. They\u2019ve set his broken ribs, but he needs real medical help. He recaps how he got here, and then Dopple comes smashing through a window. Before anybody can throw down, Shriek catches up to him and zaps the roof, collapsing part of it on everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that\u2019s never quite added up to me. Cloak pulls people into his cloak and they go to a horrible other dimension that terrorizes them. But he also teleports people by having them go in there. Shouldn\u2019t that be horrible for them? No one ever seemed to address this, but maybe I just didn\u2019t read enough of their comics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Shriek\u2019s powers seem to do a number on Cloak as Dagger tries to rescue him. Spidey manages to web up some of Dopple\u2019s many hands and punch him in the face. While Dagger fights Shriek, Cloak gets Doppel off Spider-Man, and it seems like the good guys are doing ok until Carnage shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hero leaps up a wall to get some breathing room, but he\u2019s still pretty hurt, and Carnage extends a sort of net of his symbiote around him while the others fight. Spidey surprises Carnage by leaping back down through the mess and taking the fight to him. Cloak tries to absorb Shriek, but being insane or whatever, his dark dimension no longer has an effect, and she pops right back out. She zaps Cloak, Carnage tags Spider-Man in the side with a razor thing from his symbiote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

These sure are fun villains. Very 90s. Dagger seems to explode in a blaze of light. For no obvious reason, Carnage seems to think she killed Cloak & Spider-Man in the process, and is mad at Shriek for stealing his kill. Also, Kavanagh doesn\u2019t have his voice at all, making him sound like an arch villain and not just a murderous redneck. He\u2019s about to punish Shriek for upsetting him when Doppelganger distracts him, allowing her to escape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we\u2019re going to add Demogoblin to this pile of lames, too. But now the stage is set for Venom to get involved, and plenty more people are showing up before it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
