It\u2019s a big month for the evolution of Ramos\u2019 art style, as Spider-Man\u2019s feet are longer 3 feet wide and 4 feet long. Ramos slowly gets less awful over time, and the feet thing is part of it for sure. Well, it\u2019s early the next morning, and Spider-Man is swinging around, thinking about his career. He says he\u2019s got to learn to rely on other people, and says right now, there\u2019s only one person who can help him as he lands on the roof of his own building and asks Big John if he\u2019s the one they call the Kiwi Kid. Really. But then we\u2019re off to Ock & Zarour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feels so out of character it threatens the entire premise. Ock proceeds to tell a slightly stupider but still familiar version of his childhood, which is stupider because of his dad. Tom DeFalco had it that Ock\u2019s dad died in a construction accident in SMU 18<\/a>. Here, he\u2019s in the accident, but too proud to go to the hospital, still terrorizing his son from a bed where his leg was becoming gangrenous until he finally died of his injuries. Seems like just trying to heap more misery on the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Peter tells Mary Jane he has to go. MJ is hilariously dressed in a skimpy outfit, theoretically to look sexy, but with Ramos drawing, that is categorically impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a recognizable cartoon of Tom Brokaw. Kind of mindboggling. I think that lady is the other cop who was talking to Garrett back in issue\u2026 2? I forget. A homeless guy is brought to her, saying a guy gave her $100 to bring her a note. She recognizes Garrett\u2019s writing and has all police personnel pulled out of the sewers. But we learn that the person who gave our guy here the note wasn\u2019t Garrett, it was a guy \u201cdressed up like an ostrich\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m only running this next page because I have no idea what\u2019s happening on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What\u2019s with anyone in this page? Are they outside Ock\u2019s house? What is going on? How about an establishing shot once in awhile!? This is awful. Next page cuts to Spider-Man, we don\u2019t see anything else. Has Ramos ever heard of an establishing shot? Well, that lady, Captain Cleeland, is told the got everyone out of the sewers and that \u201cthe cameras are in place.\u201d Then Spider-Man arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What, indeed? I have no idea. But we\u2019ll see next issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
