This is the month I\u2019ve been waiting for. Todd McFarlane has been doing whatever he wants with Spider-Man in 20 issues over 17 months to riotous reaction from fans. We\u2019ve seen on the blog that Alex Saviuk & Sal Buscema would eventually start drawing Spidey more in line with ASM, but when? Well, despite the cover (Which would\u2019ve been drawn well in advance of the interiors), the answer is this month!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Way more costume webbing. Bigger eyes. A marked difference from the cover of this very issue. Over the course of the next two pages, the wolves catch and kill Spider-Man and Jonah. Whoops! The End. Didn\u2019t expect that, did you? One of the wolves asks the other how its first kill tasted, and it says sweet (Sweet, bro!)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As if it wasn\u2019t obvious this is a dream sequence, the reveal that Glory is now a werewolf coming AFTER the murder of the title character should be a dead giveaway.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Eat your heart out, Twilight and\/or The Underworld series! Now\u2019s the part where Glory wakes up and it\u2019s all a dream.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Except it\u2019s not! Eduardo didn\u2019t kill Glory last issue, and she just passed out. Now\u2026 he\u2019s just chillin\u2019 on the bed, still silent after she wakes up. Joy Mercado is still outside spying on Glory\u2019s apartment, wondering when she\u2019ll wake up and see her boyfriend is a bad guy (No worries there, Joy!) when she sees Spider-Man swing by.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Yup. The transition is in full effect. Spidey proceeds to start harassing The Lobo Brothers\u2019 goons as they open an arms shipment, but things take a turn when the other Lobo is there in wolf form. Spidey leaps out of the way of a lunge so hard that he\u2026 crashes right through a wooden wall and falls into the harbor. For real!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

That is some extremely 70s Spider-Man plotting right there. \u201cWhoops!\u201d And speaking of the 70s, that segue down there leads into the same kinda interaction Peter had with his boys back in the day, as well. Flash has called this meeting of the fellas to talk about how The Daily Bugle is being mean to Spider-Man and they need to \u201crecreate the old Spidey Appreciation Society.\u201d Are you serious? This is a grown man talking. Peter sees an article about prison reform in the Bugle Flash is waving around, making him think about Robbie so we can check in on him. He\u2019s with his new best friend \u201cBruiser,\u201d and Tombstone doesn\u2019t like that too much.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If you say so, Bruiser. Have a nice rest cure, which I\u2019m sure is a phrase a guy like him would say! Back in the city, Spidey goes to tell The Arranger his tip about the arms shipment was right, and is told again that if he doesn\u2019t help, he\u2019ll be responsible for the killing. Seems flimsy, but Spidey continues to buy in. Hey, how\u2019s that whole werewolf situation going at Glory\u2019s place?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oh, who doesn\u2019t love an origin story?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As you can imagine, he killed his beloved in his wolf-y rage. Eduardo says he and his brother are mutants, and that\u2019s why they wolf up (On the one hand, there\u2019s The New Mutants\u2019 Wolfsbane, but on the other hand, Spidey knows regular werewolves, so was that necessary?). He says they, mostly Carlos, built up their mob in Texas, recaps the Punisher hit, and then says the one thing he didn\u2019t count on was her stealing his heart.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Wait, is Glory going along with this? Is she gonna be a willing accessory here? I don\u2019t really know how this turns out. With the way the courts are working under Conway, she could get the chair for that kiss!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Uh-oh. Does Kristy know Peter\u2019s secret (Honestly, I don\u2019t know). And what\u2019s her secret (That one I do know)? So many secrets! Meanwhile, on the letter page\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Won\u2019t someone think of the children!?!? Smash cut to comic shops being raided by cops in the mid 90s for selling \u201cobscene\u201d material to children (Well, to undercover cops, but that\u2019s the same thing, right?). It\u2019s funny \u2018til it\u2019s not. Overzealous parents destroyed some lives in the comics industry…
