Here\u2019s a villain we\u2019ve not seen in awhile. That gag with the logo is not quite working. You can always tell a Tom Lyle drawing from the hands. From those weird, meaty thumbs. Tom\u2019s on interiors, too, with the usual gang in the other roles. As Mr. Hyde breaks into a clothing store and steals stuff, we\u2019re told he recently had to jump out of a crashing plane in a Hulk comic and lost his luggage. That\u2019s kinda funny. He escapes with his ill-gotten gains to plot his revenge. And we escape that scene to find Peter, MJ & Shantal visiting Jill in the Hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That wasn\u2019t all that funny, Jill. Must be the meds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Dante that little guy who works for Black Tarantula with holograms or something? I do not know. Oh, he\u2019s not, that guy\u2019s hiding in a closet across the hall. Pete & MJ have the now-usual discussion about him giving up being Spider-Man due to the bounty as they leave, and lil\u2019 guy maybe hears them? I dunno. Peter says he\u2019s trying, that he\u2019s not even wearing the suit tonight. Then we\u2019re off to The Robertson home, where they\u2019re getting ready for Joe\u2019s farewell party at The Bugle, and seem very happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy Walters sure is integrating into the cast well for a guy I don\u2019t remember. I bet he vanishes in the reboot.I bet almost everyone but people who were around before 1997 vanish in the reboot. Zabo checks in, and Peter is trying to follow him when MJ wrangles him back to the evening\u2019s event. He runs into Phil Urich and a Meredith Campbell sneaking in. As former interns, I guess they don\u2019t rate a real invite. Who\u2019s Meredith Campbell? Ah, she mostly appeared in Phil\u2019s short-lived Green Goblin book, got it. Peter somehow mentally turns \u201caiding and abetting party crashers\u201d into more evidence he should quit being a superhero (???????), and then we move into the actual party. Joe and Martha are talking to Ben Urich and his wife, Doris, about Norman Osborn. Then JJJ saunters up with Marla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Has ASM ever had this many women in it? Like, ever? Martha, Doris, Marla, MJ, Meredith, Jill, Shantal\u2026 Highly unusual! Peter & Ben talk about the situation, and even Ben is thinking of quitting. Then Peter asks him who Calvin Zabo is, and is horrified by the answer. He decides that, even badly injured and without a spider-suit or webshooters, he has to try to do something. About\u2026 something. Can a man not check into a hotel room? What crime has he committed? Peter steals a sweatshirt out of the coat check and gets to climbing the wall outside. He eventually manages to find Zabo\u2019s room. The villain is just trying to call the Hulk bad guys he\u2019d be working for, The New World Order, but all their phones have been disconnected. This is hilarious to me. Then he spots someone looking in his window, assumes the receptionist did recognize him and called the cops, becomes Hyde and chucks a dresser out the window. Peter has literally created a problem where there was none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI can\u2019t allow him to endanger anyone else now that I have directly caused him to begin injuring people!\u201d They somehow fight in an elevator even though Hyde is basically as big as it is, then pour out of it into, guess what, Robbie\u2019s party. What a coincidence! MJ recognizes her husband, and Phil Urich recognizes his sweat shirt. Then, there\u2019s a good bit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Even wearing the right color hood. To pay off Martha\u2019s awful, stilted dialogue, Hyde throws that piano right at them, forcing Peter move really fast since he has no webs and dive them to safety. They keep on fighting until Hyde gets tired of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you saying that, since the costume is the problem, I should get rid of it?\u201d Duuuuuuuuuuh! That has been the obvious solution for like 2 months, buddy! So, are they really gonna make up a new superhero? Is Spider-Man gonna become someone else? We\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
