Back to the main book, and maybe this month, Spider-Man and Doc Ock will cross paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d say so! Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter\u2019s manager is showing him a new graphic of him fighting Spider-Man. Kraven is not into this, but his manager says they have to do something because his demos are slipping. He also suggests Kraven\u2019s girlfriend, apparently called \u201cWakindi,\u201d should be more in the show. Kraven says this isn\u2019t what he agreed to 2 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we jump ahead one week, where class at school is interrupted by Gwen Stacy being allowed back in. She is made to apologize for her behavior, saying she was just upset by the bullying she saw, but that was no excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher gets them to shut it, but they clearly have a rivalry going now. Then the teacher wants to know if anyone has questions about the superhero assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liz is not adapting to the new world very well. Meanwhile, Justin Hammer is cruisin\u2019 around in his limo, berating a scientist, Dr. John Skrtic (Named for a friend of Bendis\u2019 and one of our fellow forum users), for not providing him more protection now that someone\u2019s after him. We learn Hammer funded the creation of \u201cthat electric boy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya know, I can\u2019t remember if Sandman ever makes it out of that room. Hm. At any rate, Hammer\u2019s on his way to a photo op. The Mayor is doing a press conference about \u201cThe Big Apple Energy Dome Project,\u201d a big thingie to provide New York with abundant clean energy. And we learn Hammer Industries is behind it. We also learn Hammer is sort of a pre-politics Donald Trump-type figure in the Ultimate Universe via his introduction. As he talks about how this will change the city and whatnot, a giant screen behind him shows some technicians in the project. And then one of those guys notices a metal cable he doesn\u2019t recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Brock, Daily Globe, is going to go the way of the FF we saw in UMTU 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heck of an entrance for Doc Ock. Meanwhile, at Midtown, the school assembly turns out to be the principal announcing Kraven the Hunter will be filming a segment of his show at the school, something Flash is very excited about. Then the principal is rushed a note that some trouble is brewing downtown, and asks everyone to stay in their seats. MJ tells Peter to go. So we follow some police choppers to the dome project, as one of them is told he has a stowaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the most heroic entrance! Well, the time has finally come. Spidey\u2019s first showdown with Ock didn\u2019t go to well in ASM, let\u2019s see how this Spider-Man fares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
