Seems like forever since #2. This one’s cover features Cap and Iron Man squaring off, IM on the back cover… We rewind a bit to start. I don’t know that I think…

ASM 533
Why does Spider-Man have what looks more like a scorpion on his chest, Ron? What on Earth? Maybe it’s a good thing he’s wearing the armor in this story. Now that the…
