And we close out the series with\u2026 some guys. It\u2019s funny, I can tell just by looking at it that the artist is Italian. It looks a lot like Eduardo Risso. It\u2019s funny how there\u2019s regional looks. You know, manga has many many styles, but generally looks like manga. Italian comics tend to have a look. And it\u2019s one I like, here courtesy of Alberto Dose. I am equally unfamiliar with writer Brian Patrick Walsh. Neither of these guys has a wikipedia entry, a first for this series, I think. That kinda tells you where we\u2019re at. Again, no slight to them at all, but this book launched with \u201cI can\u2019t believe they got Ennis and McCrea!\u201d and ends with \u201cWait, who?\u201d But let\u2019s see what they got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business with the windshield wiper up top is nice, too. Murphy speeds off, only to find the suspects in a big web in an alley nearby. Suddenly where at the 15th precinct, where the baddies have been detained and the wife of the shopkeep is there as an unreliable witness. We\u2019re told she ID\u2019d one of the detectives as one of her assailants in a line-up, she\u2019s not to be trusted. Their captain thinks they got a good case brewin until\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this comic is going to be Law & Order: Spider-Man Victims Unit, I guess. Getting nothing from that guy, the detectives go see the other one, and we move to 2 suits watching the interrogation, thinking the case doesn\u2019t look good. They say without a confession, the judge will throw case in their faces. One says the \u201cSpider-Man Defense\u201d is more popular than insanity these days, and the other tells him the last 3 \u201cskells\u201d (Walsh is really loving \u201cskells\u201d like it\u2019s the 80s) Spider-Man gave them walked. Then it\u2019s back to the 2 detectives good cop\/bad copping the 2nd suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the detectives try all manner of tactics to get the guy to incriminate himself, and while they\u2019re working him over, his lawyer shows up. It\u2019s all pretty standard stuff. If you\u2019ve ever seen cop TV, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s the game. Spider-Man ruins the case, Peter Parker saves it. And that\u2019s also it for this series. The very mixed bag, mostly non-essential, sometimes entertaining Tangled Web is finally done. I have really been itching to get back to the real books during most of this. But instead, we\u2019re headed back to the Ultimate Universe. Which is frankly better, but it\u2019s just hard to switch mindsets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
