And now we\u2019re just quoting the Beatles. And presumably rehashing ASM 33. I remember this cover, but not the issue. Spider-Man Must Lift A Heavy Thing may be pretty well-trodden ground, but JRJR\u2019s gonna draw an impossible weight like few others, at least. We open on Spider-Man and Paul fleeing across the rooftops of the city, which seems\u2026 I mean, I don\u2019t know, but it seems like they would\u2019ve had to work pretty hard to get on the roofs from the bridge. But, anyway, still glued together, pursued by the baddies, bickering the whole time, doing the whole bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026What? What?? How would Trapster take down a whole building? With what? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

That\u2019s nuts. Meanwhile\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Look at Jimmy\u2019s giant fingers. Romita, Jr drawing huge guys is always so good. It\u2019s so wild that he\u2019s kind of the heir to his dad and Jack Kirby at the same time in so many ways. Jimmy swears he won\u2019t hurt anyone, doesn\u2019t want to, he just needed somewhere to lay low and this was the closest he could think of. Then he crushes the phone in his hand. Back at the collapsed building, Shocker pretty hilariously points out that it would have been much easier for the glue guy to glue their prey\u2019s feet to the roof rather than collapse a building, possibly killing them and forcing the villains to dig through the rubble. But they\u2019re not finding anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I threaten to derail so hard on the Romita, Jr. issues. Look at that page! Wright coulda stood to make it less dark, but what a shot. Spidey tries to make them some space and they rest a bit while he tries to think of a way out of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He\u2019s navigating through the guts of the collapsed building with the worst guy ever, of course, and finds them a way down into the sewer, hoping they can escape before they\u2019re found. Paul wants to know why Spider-Man would help him after what he did to George & Gwen, but Spidey just shoves him into the sewer and pulls a metal grate back in place above just as the space they were in collapses on top of it. Back at the Parker residence, Jimmy smashes through a wall and grabs their assailant by the throat, threatening to pop his head like a zit if he doesn\u2019t say who sent him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Uh-oh. That seems like trouble for the Parkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Trapster debuts his new harden glue darts, which he says he got the idea for from Spider-Man\u2019s webbing, and then lures Spidey into getting himself and Paul stuck to the roof, like he should have before. This costume is growing on me. How are there only 2 pages left?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Uh-oh again! What an abrupt ending. That one guy\u2019s goblin tattoo and this last page don\u2019t seem like good news. If only it was just bad news in-universe\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
