Well, let\u2019s see what\u2019s going on with Doc Ock. Presumably. Maybe this\u2019ll be 22 pages of Detective Garrett, who knows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that supposed to be Ms. Lyon from the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends show? What in the 9 hells is Jon supposed to be doing in that picture? What a first page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter looks like this infamous tumblr post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenkins\u2019 Mary Jane is utterly baffling. Good grief. We cut to Dr. Octopus busting into the house of a house, terrorizing the occupant, and then revealing it\u2019s the house he grew up in. He has a brief flashback to his horrible childhood that, to my genuine surprise, doesn\u2019t contradict any of the terrible backstory he got in that Spider-Man Unlimited issue, then menaces the current tenant some more before we switch scenes. Back at the apartment, Peter, MJ and some of the neighbors are on the roof. Big John is explaining to Mary Jane that he came to New york hoping to become a superhero\u2019s sidekick, the Kiki Kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, this is barely comprehensible between this utterly bizarre take on MJ and the art. Despite a conversation that seemed to imply Peter was pretending to go to bed to go be Spider-Man, next page it\u2019s 9:31am the next day, and Spider-Man\u2019s swinging around. Radio chatter reminds us of the Palestinian delegation coming to the UN for the 3rd time in this story so far. Surely not important! Then \u201cOtto from Queens\u201d calls in, and he wants to talk about crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spider-Man just happened to be nearby and is on the scene in moments. Maybe that\u2019s due to Doc Ock mentioning he knows Spidey\u2019s route so well. Someone is shooting down at the street from the smoking building. The cops don\u2019t want Spider-Man involved, but come on. So soon he\u2019s up there, dodging bullets, noticing the fire isn\u2019t random enough, and discovering a bunch of guns mounted on tripods firing automatically. Honestly, I was hoping for some purple-suited goons, but I guess wrong era. He gets inside and finds Doc Ock listing his demands into the phone, but when he swings into action, it\u2019s not Doc Ock, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkov\u2019s Palestinian Delegation. At least this isn\u2019t as amorphous and slow as the Venom story. Jenkins seems more at home with Ock than with a Green Goblin or Venom. Maybe this one will be good. I also want to say Ramos does good backgrounds. He packs a lot of detail in there without it being distracting. Look, man, I’m just trying to find ways to be positive…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
