The Last Stand! Not last enough! A real last stand wouldn’t make me read 3 more issues, and I would thank it, in this case. This month, we have Peter’s narration saying…

The Spectacular Spider-Blob! I wonder how you draw like this. Like when you’re sketching out the figure… do you just close your eyes and make random shapes and then commit? “That’s a…

Aaaand we’re back! Boy, I missed literally anyone writing Spider-Man but Byrne, who is obviously here as artist. If you didn’t recognize his art style, you could tell from Spidey’s eyes being…
