That\u2019s an unusual amount of blood for a comic of this vintage! The difference between Milgrom\u2019s full-service covers and interior pencils in this era is pretty striking. Prior to this, Black Cat has only appeared in 2-part stories that end with her \u201ddying\u201d or, one time, being committed to a mental institution. As crazy as that is to type. This is her first-ever 3rd issue in a row, but will she make it to 4?? We\u2019ll see. Spidey & Black Cat are still making out even though Felicia is, like, dying, because I don\u2019t know, but then dozens of projectiles start raining on them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, what are these guys paid that they\u2019re not all running for it right now? Doc Ock, maybe Spider-Man\u2019s most dangerous enemy, is lying on the floor with his arms ripped off, and you\u2019re like, \u201cMaybe so, but I got this stick!\u201d No, sir. If that\u2019s me, I\u2019m going to apply for a job at Walmart. Also: Why sticks? Ock & Owl couldn\u2019t afford guns? Like a hundred goons in here and not a gun to be had. How did they think this would go? Anyway, Spidey just webs up the whole lot of them in one move, which seems pretty impossible, but I just saw it happen. Felicia is totally jazzed he\u2019s sticking up for her, but then Doc Ock\u2019s surprisingly short tentacles start flailing toward her, mimicking the extreme pain their owner is in right now. But they\u2019re not after her, they\u2019ve still after the detonator for the bomb. Far less injured that she seemed last issue, Felicia leaps into action. She just destroys the detonator. Pretty quick. Doc Ock doesn\u2019t like that at all, and pins her to the wall with his phantom limbs. And then\u2026 I guess some of the goons found some guns\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Come on, man. I mean\u2026 what? You just perforated Felicia, which is pretty gross, first of all, and you frame it as something happening to Spider-Man, which is even more gross, and THEN you give her a goofy line after? Well, in typical bad media written by a lame dude fashion, now that the hero\u2019s lady has been hurt, nothing can stop him as he rampages through the room, taking out all the goons, webbing up Ock\u2019s arms and throwing them out the window into the ocean. Ugh. He grabs up Felicia, and we\u2019re told his Spider Sense leads him out of the maze-like lair, even though that\u2019s not how it works, and soon he\u2019s somehow gonna swing across the river to a hospital, but I submit to you: how?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He does, though, I guess by flying, and he gets her to an emergency room. They rush her into an operating theater and he can\u2019t watch as they prepare to cut her open.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And so a haggard Peter Parker rushes into the classroom moments before the test is to begin, and is the last one to finish it. After, he rushes out, his various college pals asking him to go to lunch, but he pays no attention. Dr. Sloan is in the hall, asking how he thinks he did, but he says right now, he couldn\u2019t care less. I mean if that were true, why show up at all, but ok. Switching to Spidey, he swings back to the hospital, where he runs into Jean DeWolff in the hall. She heard all about what happened from one of The Owl\u2019s captured henchmen, and offers Spidey a folder.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We\u2019re told that, as Spidey runs to Felicia\u2019s room, Jean DeWolff is so happy for him that she begins to \u201claugh so hard\u2026 she cries,\u201d which is, again, super weird, but he gets to her room. She\u2019s sedated, so he can\u2019t talk to her. Naturally, he does the usual \u201call my power and I can\u2019t save the ones I love\u201d thing, it\u2019s his go-to, and that wakes her up.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, at an unnamed location, Doc Ock is already getting his tentacles reattached. Somehow. Somebody already found them at the bottom of the river? Did they just squirm on out on his command? I dunno. At any rate, he\u2019s refusing anesthetic during this extremely painful procedure, saying he wants to know how Spider-Man & The Black Cat will feel when he tears them limb from limb. So\u2026 look forward to that. This story continues for 3 more issues, but this seems like a place it can finally break to allow another title to exist. Good thing, too, \u2018cuz our next post is a major issue of ASM.
