Ok. time to get into it. Perhaps because John, Jr. is leaving, it\u2019s time to get to the bottom of this Ezekiel business. We open this issue on 2 guys in Peru, guarding what appears to be Ezekiel\u2019s temple thing from various flashbacks and such, when they\u2019re attacked by a Spider-Man-like, shadowy figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As that guy begins carving on Ezekiel as we\u2019ve seen done in flashbacks, we jump to Spider-Man chasing some guys through busy NYC traffic. He webs one, but another takes a hostage. Spider-Man tries to reason with him, but isn\u2019t getting anywhere, and then someone else attacks him from behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at Peter\u2019s place, Mary Jane and Aunt May are chilling, MJ a million miles away worrying about her career. Aunt May is telling a story, but realizes MJ is not with her and starts making silly things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not bad. I mean, fundamentally changing the nature of Peter\u2019s powers is a very controversial move, but on the other hand, they don\u2019t make a whole lot of sense. A supernatural explanation for his Spider Sense in particular is better than a magic radiation one. But neither story explains why he sticks to walls like he does, aka, not the way a spider does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, the spider-boyare are perched atop a tall building, and Ezekiel tells Peter he\u2019s in terrible danger. He reiterates how Peter\u2019s encountered so much trouble from magical sources lately over a collage of Morlun, Shathra, Dormammu, Morwen, that Shade guy, Dr. Strange, Loki and Digger, the latter of whom wasn\u2019t especially magical. He says it\u2019s about to get a lot worse. He says power has 3 components: Those who want it, those that give it, and those who control it. Spider-Man\u2019s faced the first two, but now \u201cthe gatekeeper\u201d is coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that\u2019s a spider-man. Oddly, I don\u2019t really remember this story too well. Vague notions, but\u2026 I sure don\u2019t remember that guy. We\u2019ll see what\u2019s goin\u2019 on next issue\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
