Last issue\u2019s bag had a piece of tape on it so long removing the comic was a genuine challenge. This one has an itty bitty piece of tape barely holding it closed. 2 kinds of people in the world. Grant and Buscema\u2019s credits split back to writer and artist this month, with John Kalisz coloring and editor Mark Powers credited as \u201cCowboy,\u201d which makes one wonder. Despite being named Deadaim and having guns on his hands, the new villain is trying to punch out Spider-Man on the splash. And missing, of course. Spider-Man\u2019s babbling about him trying out for the Yankees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, ok, Grant goes with 2 Rs in \u201cForry,\u201d why not. Forry says they should flee and form a battle plan, and that he can find Deadaim any time they want. He declines to say how just like he refused to explain how he was tracking Spider-Man last issue. Deadaim tells his boss that he\u2019s \u201cunearthed the treasure.\u201d Ok! As the conflict continues, the mysterious baddie says he can cut off Foreigner from his power. Uh\u2026 what power? Aside from that dumb hypnotism stuff way back in TAC 129<\/a>, Forry\u2019s always just been a guy with a gun. It does seem to explain his tracking ability, tho. The unlikely duo take a break to recap what\u2019s going on, and then Foreigner says it\u2019s time for them to get back to it. They didn\u2019t come up with a plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marla aged 20 years between issue! Sal! This makes a lot more sense. As Spidey & Forry approach their target, Foreigner tells Spider-Man to stifle his banter, and Spidey says \u201cExcuse me for not being DARK and BROODING!\u201d Ha. Ha ha. Check back in 3 months, Spidey. Then the mystery man blows up Forry\u2019s satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love the Ralph joke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Grant\u2019s Spider-Man voice was tip top. It\u2019s a real shame he didn\u2019t continue on the book, but I guess he wouldn\u2019t have been allowed to be funny soon, anyway. Spidey headbutts Dumbaim, smashing his visor and blinding him, then he and Forry make short work of the other jobbers in a couple pages. But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In a pretty wild bit of business from Sal, Spidey flips himself way up high and latches onto the falling satellite with a web, then manages to spot the button and web that. The thing explodes without going nuclear. As the pieces rain down, Spidey spots what must be the nuclear payload, and makes sure to snag it before it hits the ground. But he also sees Foreigner running for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odd ending to that. Especially considering this subplot\u2019s getting dropped. And Betty’s blonde for a sec! And who was Foreigner\u2019s mysterious adversary? I think that gets resolved soon, though not in the main title. Hm. Well, time for Black Cat & Flash, by the same folks as last month except for Sam DeLaRosa stepping in on inks. Felicia\u2019s on a roof, saying \u201che\u201d can\u2019t escape her. Flash is apparently in a taxi, which she follows to his place, changing into regular clothes inside before he gets in. When he\u2019s shocked to see her, she says she couldn\u2019t leave without one more shot at making it work. Feel like we missed a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Hey, that\u2019s a pretty good angle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full marks for making Flash not so stupid that he never noticed he was dating a famous burglar. Nice lil retcon. I feel bad for them. They had a good thing goin\u2019, in the end. After all the idiotic nonsense Flash went through in the 2000s, they should\u2019ve tried again\u2026 while they could\u2026 This period is making me realize how messy it is to have one character starring in all these books. All these subplots spreading out. As a kid, I never knew how Flash & Felicia broke up, I never saw Peter & MJ move out of the Osborns’ building and move into the brownstone. Flash and Felicia started in ASM, but as an ASM reader, I missed the end from not buying a different book. Doesn’t feel too good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
