I obviously didn\u2019t have this one as a kid, and I am genuinely shocked to see this guy come back. And to bring back this Steve Grant created character in the book he just left or was kicked off of or whatever happened. Odd timing. Mike Lackey is on writing duties, so I got rock bottom expectations. We begin on Spider-Man in the rain, recapping Pursuit and MJ getting shot at and how he\u2019s so sad and angry he\u2019s not gonna be there for her, and how being Spider-Man and being Peter Parker sucks. Really going right into it. Meanwhile\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who needs Ravencroft if this is \u201cthe last stop for the worst of the worst?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this IS Ravencroft? What is going on??? Pretty violent for Sal, there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarantino? What is up with the dude\u2019s ear? Maybe it\u2019ll\u2026 come up\u2026 Spider-Man\u2019s swinging around being tremendously boring and angry until a semitruck blows a tire on a bridge and almost goes sailing off of it. Spider-Man webs the truck and pulls for all he\u2019s worth, saying the driver could be a family man, and \u201cno kid ANYWHERE is going to be orphaned like Peter Parker was if SPIDER-MAN can help it!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Master of Vengeance is putting his suit on, thinking about how is wife left him for being a deranged superweirdo, and making sure we know he\u2019s way crazier than before. He says his plan is to just start blowing stuff up until Spider-Man shows, and he does, and he does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, stupid!\u201d Some real A-class banter. There follows a 2-page spread of Spidey bouncing all over the street and this dork rants about Spider-Man\u2019s actions causing his \u201crebirth\u201d and calling Spider-Man his father. This is some real bargain basement JM DeMatteis stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There\u2019s a lot more yelling and whatnot and it\u2019s dumb and then Spider-Man webs the guy\u2019s energy gauntlets off him and puts them on. MoV says he doesn\u2019t have the guts and he\u2019s a loser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe leave the philosophizin\u2019 to JM, man. I wonder what I was like talking about these garbage comics back in 2019. I was trying to be nice back then, before I\u2019d forced myself to sit through so much dreck. It\u2019s pretty easy to hit the limit now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
