Once upon a time (Like 3, 4 years ago as I write this), I decided I wanted to see how this Lobo Brothers thing worked. I wanted the whole scoop. So, I went to mycomicshop.com and bought a run of Web of Spider-Man issues during the period. But, see, I didn\u2019t know what I was doing, and didn\u2019t realize until I started trying to read them that The Lobos were also in TAC, and I didn\u2019t have those. So I quit reading them, planning to get the TAC issues some day. But I didn\u2019t. Until now! So this one and every TAC to follow for awhile is brand-new to me, and so are the WEBs, for the most part. All dancing around ASMs I know by heart backwards and forwards. It\u2019s the alien costume all over again. As we get rolling, Spider-Man has made a daring break into prison, and soon finds his way to Robbie\u2019s window, not unlike the cover.

Why would Tombstone be pressuring Robbie to hide something that seems A) Like it would be pretty easy to find out and B) Inconsequential? \u201cDon\u2019t tell anybody I\u2019m in here\u2026 because they already know, after all?\u201d I don\u2019t get it. As our man swings away, a security guard sees him on camera. He\u2019s about to sound the alarm when he remembers The Daily Bugle has offered a $1000 reward for evidence of Spider-Man committing a crime, and pops the security tape out. Why would The Bugle be offering this reward? The Chameleon knows Spidey isn\u2019t actually a crook\u2026? I don\u2019t get that, either. Elsewhere, Glory Grant has gone to see Eduardo at his hotel, wracked with guilt over stealing that Kingpin file for him, only to walk in on him consulting with his goons.

Google Translate turns \u201cgordinflon\u201d into \u201cfatty,\u201d which makes this scene much funnier.

Come right out and say it, then! I don\u2019t know why Conway insists on calling her \u201cGloria\u201d now. I know that\u2019s her actual first name, but she\u2019s been Glory Grant forever. We cut away from Glory\u2019s confession to the Puma, to my surprise. He recaps who he is and then sees today\u2019s Bugle, \u201cSpider-Man Connected to Attempted Prison Breakout,\u201d thinking about how he owes Spider-Man a debt and just recently came around harassing him over a story like this. Then he thinks maybe he can do something about it, and calls his assistant. We\u2019ll have to see what that is later, though (I remember what it is, though), we\u2019re off to see Peter & MJ, having a bad time apartment hunting.

Peter has just seen the aforementioned Bugle headline, and storms off in a rage in Classic Conway Fashion. Hey, how\u2019s Robbie doing?

Uh\u2026 ok. \u201cBruiser.\u201d Very creative. Ya know, Nick begs the question: How\u2019s he getting a bunch of pictures of Spider-Man? It\u2019s not like he can know where Spidey stuff will go down. Even Lance Bannon couldn\u2019t be everywhere. Anyway, Spider-Man demands to know whether Nick or JJJ is behind the current smear campaign, and when Nick says JJJ, Spidey is off. A web-and-hot-dog-relish-covered Katzenberg stumbles into the Bugle later just as Flash and Betty are coming to support Glory as she confesses her theft. But\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Chameleon-as-JJJ just dismisses Glory\u2019s concerns about a gang war and her role in it and locks himself in his office. Confused but kinda relieved, Glory and her pals leave The Bugle. She says she has to hear Eduardo\u2019s side of what\u2019s going on (She seemed to pretty well understand it earlier?) and goes up to her apartment, where he is waiting for her.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egads! Is the end of Glory Grant? I mean, you know it isn\u2019t, but how could it not be? We\u2019ll see. In the letter column, Tama Janowitz has written in to say she loved appearing in TAC<\/a> during Peter\u2019s book tour. That\u2019s fun. Editor Jim Salicrup said her appearance in the book got it mentioned \u201con Mtv, in the New york Post, Publisher\u2019s Weekly, Esquire, and many other strange and unusual places.\u201d
