Here we go, the big 4-part story that sees Howard Mackie out the door. And we also have Romita. Jr. getting the memo to make the covers more generic and iconic. He won\u2019t have the chance for long, tho. And he\u2019s not doing interiors, either. He doesn\u2019t get to see his longtime collaborator out at all. Instead it\u2019s the people the Spider-Office always calls in a pinch now, Joe Bennett and Sandu Florea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these fluff nothing miniseries get fancy gloss paper and ASM still doesn\u2019t. Yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that sure seems like something. And someone. But why? The answer will disappoint you, dear reader! Meanwhile, in New York, a comically oversexualized woman is receiving a television delivery from one Peter Parker, her friend Randy\u2019s roommate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that sure was a few pages. Peter slinks home, angry at Randy for sending him there, then sees a couple having a tender moment on the sidewalk and is slightly moved. Then it\u2019s up into the apartment where Randy has Glory & Jill over and can\u2019t wait to laugh at Peter\u2019s experience. The girls were in on trying to set Peter up with this girl, but didn\u2019t know Randy had sent Peter to a woman with a house arrest monitor (Peter is also very put off by the piercings and tattoos. Come on, dogg, it\u2019s 2000). The girls turn on Randy when they find out what he did, and glory drags him off for a talking to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 months! \u201cIt\u2019s been six whole months since the love of your life died in a fiery explosion, dude, get over it!\u201d Jill is JUST like MJ was when Gwen died! Sheesh. Later, Spider-Man\u2019s flippin\u2019 around, thinking maybe they\u2019re right, and he does need to get back out there, when he hears gunfire. TV news in a storefront tell us it\u2019s part of a rising gang war, which hasn\u2019t been mentioned before and will not be mentioned again, and Spider-Man arrives on the scene to find the Enforcers shooting it out with some other guys. Spidey is having a bad time with the Enforcers as Jimmy flees with his family, and then we start seeing Spider-Man intercut with a mysterious other person whose actions somewhat mimic Spidey\u2019s, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s that all about? I may not have remembered much of anything in this block, but this, I know. Having lost the Enforcers, Spidey heads to the last place he knew Jimmy-6 to be, with a lot of muscle watching out for attackers. He sneaks in and finds Jimmy, who shoots before he realizes who it is, but our guy dodges. Jimmy says this\u2019ll all be over once he whacks Kingpin, and Spidey wants to know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Once again, Spidey battles the Enforcers, and once again, the mystery man seems to react to things that happen to him. Spider-Man subdues his old foes and announces to everyone, Jimmy included, that no one\u2019s dying tonight. Jimmy reluctantly agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goodness. What a shocking twist. What a revelation I\u2019m sure no one saw coming. But where is she? Who has her? Why? Don\u2019t expect a coherent answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
