This is weird. A whole guest creative team steps in for part 3 of this story. On the one hand, you wouldn\u2019t think you\u2019d schedule a break for your regular team in the middle of a 4-part story, but on the other, it seems unlikely writer, penciler and inker would all get sick at once, so\u2026 here we are. It\u2019s Todd DeZago writing, breakdowns by Phil Gosier and inks by Sam De La Rosa and Randy Emberlin, with colors by regular colorist Kevin Tinsley. They get under way with some goons beating up a homeless woman until Kaine steps in.

An agenda no man can fathom, eh? Seems unlikely! Elsewhere, Ben Reilly is racing to Peter Parker\u2019s apartment, afraid The Grim Hunter is on his way there to kill Peter, when a cab driver loses control below him.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out there\u2019s no rush, as Vladimir has gone home to run around naked with incense burning like his dad while his guy Gregor thinks about how scared he that Vlad has inherited his father\u2019s madness. So basically every Grim Hunter scene. This is really repetitive. Then Vlad finally puts some clothes on and declares they\u2019re going back out, and we leave them for that Jacob Raven guy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodness, whoever could that man be? At that mans\u2019 place, Ben Reilly is staking the place out, but nothing\u2019s happening yet. And Kaine is somewhere nearby watching Ben watch the apartment. As Kaine punches a chimney in half for literally no reason whatsoever, he thinks that he won\u2019t let Ben interfere with his plans for Peter & Mary Jane Parker. MJ\u2019s part of the plan no man can fathom now. Then we switch back to Ben, who gets sucker punched from behind, his assailant not setting off his Spider Sense, which means it\u2019s\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

HOW? How could he recognize, you absolute idiot!? Good grief. I dunno, maybe Todd DeZago wasn\u2019t privy to the plan here. Oh well, it\u2019s fightin\u2019 time. Ben finds his new stingers just bounce off Kaine\u2019s face (W\u2026 why?). His impact webbing sticks Kaine to a wall for a second, but he tears loose and socks Ben in the face with the chunks of concrete his hands are still webbed to. Lookin\u2019 like a jobber, here, Reilly. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ben gets loose, but it doesn\u2019t help him, and Kaine knocks him out. Then The Grim Hunter arrives at Peter\u2019s place, narrating to his dad about blah blah blah, it\u2019s the usual, but before he can smash through the skylight, he notices someone behind him.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Except for putting Kaine in the mix with Ben & Vlad this issue mostly spun the wheels. Which is about what you\u2019d expect with a temp writer and artist, I guess. I wonder how different it would\u2019ve been with the regular guys. We\u2019ll never know.
