Picking up where PPSM 5 ended, no matter what it said. Joe Rosas colors this one. Spider-Man appears to be asking us, the reader, if we\u2019ve ever lied to someone we care about on the splash, but on the seemingly requisite 2-page splash that follows, we learn he\u2019s stopped some guys from robbing a church and is actually talking to them as he webs them through the air. Hedrops those guys with some cops and then thinks to himself how lying to MJ is killing him, then recaps the Spider-Woman situation as he goes home to his unhappy bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not cool, Pete-o. But now they\u2019re both hiding something. That can\u2019t go well. Elsewhere, Evil Spider-Woman is ranting at no one in particular about how she doesn\u2019t want to do these things that \u201cHE\u201d made her do, that she wants her life back, and then she attacks some cops who\u2019ve come to the disturbance. As she beats them up, she complains that she never wanted these powers or the costume, and she even hates spiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weird play for Doc Ock. I\u2019d forgotten this bit. She says she wants his life and attacks, but we cut to a hospital where some pretty surprising things are going down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s back. He still looks terrible. He looks more 90s than he ever did in the 90s. He lets us know this Spider-Woman was \u201ca fashion designer of some repute\u201d who lived a double life that allowed them to meet (KIND of implies she was, like, an escort or something? A fashion designer of some repute?). So, he did what anyone would do, kidnapped her, experimented on her, tortured and brainwashed her into her current state. This is prrrrretty messed up. Doc Ock usually just wants to hold the city to ransom or whatever, this is gross. Also, she can \u201chypnotize\u201d Spidey \u201cjust as a female spider does the male,\u201d in case you were wondering why his Spider Sense didn\u2019t factor into their previous bouts. She\u2019s all for it now, talking about how Ock showed her the way and stuff. Ock says since she\u2019s drained Spider-Man\u2019s powers, there\u2019s nothing he can do, but of course, she didn\u2019t drain his powers, so he busts loose and starts fighting both of them. Does he immediately web Ock\u2019s goggles? You bet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That man sure loves him an underwater base. Spider-Man watches Ock drag Evil Spider-Woman into an escape pod, and then swims out to discover he\u2019s in the East River. He\u2019s surprised. I don\u2019t\u2026 know why? This man loves him an underwater base! You know this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lookin\u2019 sharp, May! A long overdue update. From here, Mattie\u2019s off to headline a new Spider-Woman series, written by Byrne and drawn mostly by Bart Sears, which I 100% would not have touched with a 10 ft. pole. No way I\u2019d trust John Byrne, writer, after Chapter One, and Bart Sears is no selling point. Mattie\u2019s series would last 18 issues, a strangely common number for new launches in this period, and feature her wearing no less than 6 different costumes as they desperately tried and failed to come up with a good one. Along the way, Madame Web was part of that book, the other Spider-Women appeared, including the new evil one, and rather surprisingly, Spider-Man only guest starred once. All this is if the covers can be believed, at any rate. I think we\u2019ll see her again around here, but not much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
