Oh boy, The Jury! Trying to get some color on those generic cybersuits, it seems. Part 1! It somehow takes Spider-Man 3 issues to deal with these losers. I do not remember how this goes at all. David Michelinie, Mark Bagley, Randy Emberlin & Bob Sharen at the helm as The Jury are setup looking for Spider-Man and spot Nova instead. Then they get 2 pages to recap who they are and their incredibly flimsy rationale for coming after Spider-Man (Because without him, there wouldn\u2019t be a Venom). Then one of the sensors they\u2019ve set up stops working, and they send a tech out ot fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spidey lets us know he\u2019s been sensing those sensors all over town and avoiding them, and wonders if it\u2019s Alistaire Smythe again. Cameras all over town does seem to run in the family. He goes home and tells MJ he\u2019s planning to go look into this after class. Kind of a dead end conversation for the purposes of this issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nice recap of where we left off last time. Man, Dr. Swann. When\u2019s the last time we saw him? Survey sez: ASM 350<\/a>! And this is his final appearance in a comic. Wow. Peter\u2019s schooling really fell off the radar in this period. Come to think of it, I have no idea how he once again ends up not in school so he & MJ could go back in 1996. Was it just let lapse during the clone crap? Hm. While Peter runs off, Aunt May\u2019s destination turns out to be Peter & MJ\u2019s place. She tells MJ she has to confide something to her (She sure is lucky Peter wasn\u2019t home and MJ was). She reveals that she & Ben secretly got married six months before their public ceremony because they couldn\u2019t wait til after high school. He only witnesses were Richard & Mary. But when Richard got the anniversary wrong the other day, he was remembering the public date, not the private one. MJ says she\u2019s sure there\u2019s a reasonable explanation, and May drops it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bagley\u2019s MJ looks different this issue. Wonder why. Maybe he was trying a new face out. Well, anyway, Spider-Man\u2019s out doing his thing, intentionally getting spotted by one of those cameras so he can find out who\u2019s after him. Pretty direct! And it works, as The Jury shows up guns blazing, no \u201chi,\u201d no nothin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we have to let a child die in order to murder a man tangentially related to the creation of Venom, that\u2019s just a fact of life, soldier!\u201d Sheesh. They then proceed to gang up on Spider-Man, who I think goes down way too easy, caught by one and punched by another, then punched from guy to guy like they\u2019re playing catch in a pretty silly fight sequence, with this result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard to imagine how this goes on for 2 more issues. It kinda feels like they\u2019re just stalling til they can lower the boom on the parents thing. Meanwhile, in Bullpen Bulletins, Tom DeFalco decides to defend Marvel\u2019s flooding the market with garbage\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month saw release of six Spider-Man titles (The core books, SMU 3 & Lethal Foes 3). And that will look like a light month a year from now.  In the next 3 months, they will run miniseries Spider-Man: The Mutant Agenda and Spider-Man: Friends & Enemies, garbage so inessential even I didn\u2019t buy them for this blog. Marvel, and to a lesser extent DC, are filling the stands with junk. The industry is about to collapse as a result. The spin is not working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
