Having seen the Lobo Brothers plot to something like a conclusion, I think we\u2019re in for something like a finale for Tombstone\/Robbie in jail here. This month, Mike Esposito pitches in on inks, and the difference is striking. Sal Buscema has really been applying a layer of grit and texture that is sorely miss here, as Spider-Man once again breaks into the prison Robbie\u2019s being held in. He recaps the events of WEB 55 as he sneaks into the facility, and then further recaps having heard the shocking news at the end of ASM 320 earlier today, in case you\u2019re wondering why this one has popped up right after ASM started a 6-part story. Peter was really stressed, obviously, asking MJ what he should do, but she didn\u2019t know, either. He asked Aunt May how she was as casually as possible, but she didn\u2019t talk about it. He still didn\u2019t know what to do.

Afraid you\u2019d come? Yeah, well, you\u2019ve seen the cover\u2026

Spidey randomly talking about his previous time being drugged is really funny to me. Like Joe has any idea what he\u2019s talking about. \u201cWait, what happened when? Somebody was impersonating Jonah? Tombstone, can we wake him back up, I need to hear the gossip!\u201d Anyway, Tombstone hoists Spidey up and explains that Robbie does what he\u2019s told because he\u2019s scared, because he\u2019s been scared as long as they\u2019ve known each other, Robbie looking anguished in the background.

BWHAMMO! Back in Queens, MJ has gone to play bingo with Aunt May, struggling to decide if she should say anything about the elephant in the room. But it turns out Aunt May got her nights mixed up, and it\u2019s a senior citizens meet-up instead of bingo. They go in, anyway, and see it\u2019s full of seniors organizing groups to do volunteer work. Aunt May seems really into it, and Mary Jane is moved by her selflessness given her situation. Then we move our scene to Osborn Chemical, where repairs are still ongoing after the madness of Inferno hit the place. Flash Thompson is there talking to Harry.

Whaaaaat? That seems to imply something, doesn\u2019t it? Back at the prison, Spidey\u2019s all chained up like on the cover, and slowly coming to. Tombstone says Spidey\u2019s going to help him and his boys escape tonight, and says again that they have a score to settle after their battle in Atlanta, so first he wants some payback. Robbie says he can\u2019t kill Spidey if he wants to use him in an escape, and Tombstone says that\u2019s a good point.

It\u2019s rough seeing Robbie so low. Spider-Man, we see him in spots like this all the time. Still better than being buried alive for 2 weeks, I\u2019d wager. But Robbie, this is maybe the lowest point of his whole life. At any rate, that guy Otto is on the wall when helicopters appear, and then Tombstone and his goons are in the yard dragging Spider-Man as a human shield. THAT was the plan?? Why did they need Spider-Man? They coulda just used that Otto guy! The guards would be way less likely to shoot one of their own than Spider-Man. Sheesh. The guards decide they can\u2019t shoot Spider-Man, but then\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tombstone drags Robbie onto one of the helicopters, saying he\u2019s going to kill him tonight. Spider-Man is actually still pretty messed up, but manages to leap up and grab Tombstone by the ankle as the chopper takes off, leaving all Tombstone\u2019s goons behind. Spidey thinks maybe he recovered so quickly from the virus because he\u2019s been exposed to it before (YA THINK?).

Holy crap!

Robbie and Tombstone survive, of course, but man\u2026 how? I am eager to see them dig their way out of this hole.
