First question: Why is the chain around his neck a different color than the rest? Second question: Seriously, what\u2019s up with his crotch area? That doesn\u2019t look right at all. This one gets going right on page one:

We\u2019ve all been there. Peter is furious he was made a witness to the subterfuge, and recaps last issue as he gets in his Spider-suit and heads out to get justice. He heads down to check out Baxter\u2019s boat, recalling that Crippen called him a cheat. Maybe he can find evidence of that cheating. But the boat is being guarded by, you guessed it\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean\u2026 probably quite a few blokes, I have to assume. Gerry Conway loves interludes, so it\u2019s time for 3 of them that will have an impact on future stories. They\u2019re all 1 page, let\u2019s see \u2018em.

Egads, the twists! So, you can probably guess The Lobo Brothers are responsible for the blood message. MJ\u2019s cousin Kristy is going to hang around being Poochie for awhile. And Robbie looks like he\u2019s not gonna fight. All this and more coming your way this season on The Spectacular Spider-Man! Speaking of whom, he\u2019s chained up like on the cover, and Boomerang is taking him out to sea in a boat. The boat, he explains, is full of explosives, and the boat is going to be set to hit a buoy during Baxter\u2019s race and explode, killing Spidey, and\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So, then. The race is on, Boomerang is flying above it (No one seems to notice? Isn\u2019t this being watched and filmed and stuff?) and poor Spidey is on a collision course with death. He manages to strain enough to break the chain around one leg, but that\u2019s not gonna help much when he hits the buoy. Back at the race, Baxter\u2019s rival is gaining on him, so he activates a \u201ccloud machine\u201d that will obscure the other boat\u2019s vision. Boomerang is impressed flying overhead, thinking how close Spidey came to finding it. For his part, Spider-Man has managed to wiggle around so he can kick the steering wheel with his free foot, narrowly missing the buoy. Now he\u2019s gotta get loose. He knows Boomerang will have seen that he didn\u2019t blow up and be on his way, so he figures he better do something\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Boomerang is Australian, you see, in case you forgot. \u00a0Meanwhile, obscured by his fog bank, Baxter activates his 2nd cheat: Turbo-jets! SURELY someone would notice this! What does his crew think?? Boomerang is still throwing his stupid boomerangs at Spidey, who keeps clinging to the bottom of the boat to dodge, unable to do much else. Then he thinks he\u2019s hit Spidey and killed him, but when no body floats up, he has to go in for a closer look, and of course, he gets webbed once he gets in range. Spidey uses Boomerang\u2019s boot jets to steer them toward Baxter\u2019s boat\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice is served. I suppose. Those guys on Baxter\u2019s boat didn\u2019t really deserve this, seemed like. Anyway, that\u2019s that, and as the box sez, Inferno is coming. What\u2019s that? We\u2019ll get into it. We gotta jump back to this month\u2019s ASM (Which would\u2019ve been published before this) first, though.
