Looking more like a magazine cover than ever here. This one is inked by 3 classic inkers in Tom Palmer, Klaus Janson, and Joe Rubenstein. And I bet it\u2019s really easy to tell who does each page. First, we see Spidey on a rampage, attacking criminals with almost no care for their victims, and \u201che is The Spider\u201d at this point in SM, too. Then we switch scenes to\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember how the cover said it was introducing Coldheart? Sure doesn\u2019t feel like the beginning of a story, does it? And she\u2019s just what this comic needs, more crippling depression! Next, we have a splash page of Hobgoblin looking down from the roof of a building. This is the last page inked by Palmer. Next page begins Janson, as\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This one story has produced 2 previously unmentioned children of major supervillains, jeez. Not long after, Spider-Man arrives on the scene, as the cops have surrounded the building and are treating it like a hostage situation. One wonders why Hobby wouldn\u2019t just pick up the kid and leave. Spidey drops down to go in, ignoring the cops\u2019 call to brief him, and Coldheart is here, too, seemingly eager to get both Spidey and The Hobgoblin. Meanwhile, in Russia, Vladimir Kravinov is about to get juiced up, over the protests of Gregor. Back in the states, Spider-Man\u2019s in the house. On the ceiling, face to face with Hobgoblin. Looks like he must\u2019ve just walked in. Very weird. Hobby says his life is coming together, Spidey thinks his is falling apart and throws a little tantrum, punching a mirror, and then\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now why would he say that? \u201cI\u2019m not a clone?\u201d That\u2019s a weird thing to say, guys. That\u2019s also Klaus Janson\u2019s last page, leaving the rest to Joe Rubenstein. Hobgoblin promptly picks up the kid and flies away, like he should have from the beginning. Coldheart says she\u2019ll find him later, but for what Spider-Man did to her family, he must first pay with his life. Whaaaat? He tries to push her sword out of his face and finds out it freezes things on contact. He again tries to say he needs to go save that kid, but she\u2019s not having it.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I think Joe Rubenstein wins this issue. He\u2019s letting Lyle\u2019s line through better than the other two did. On a nearby roof, Hobgoblin is threatening to beat his son for being afraid of him when Spider-Man comes crashing into him, ready to give him his own beating. Spidey is furious, lecturing Hobby on how people like him think they can do whatever they want, but now he\u2019s not going to take it anymore. Hobby says he\u2019s lived his whole life in a rage, so get used to it (I mean, not a lot of rage in any of Macendale\u2019s appearances before this story, but ok?).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spidey wails on him so hard he breaks his jaw. That\u2019s enough for Hobby, who tosses some bombs and says the kid\u2019s not worth all this and flees. Spider-Man barely saves the kid from being blown up. And then\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Then there\u2019s another page of the mystery man\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And finally, Vladimir Kravinov emerges from the process strong and unharmed. He tells Gregor to prepare the servants for travel, because they\u2019re going to reclaim the part of his father\u2019s legacy that involves Spider-Man, and we\u2019re out. Would you believe we\u2019re never going to see Coldheart again? Isn\u2019t that insane? Who was she? Why did she think Spider-Man did something to her children? We literally will never know. The internet says she was one of the villains killed in the beginning of the Civil War crossover in 2007, except she then turned up not-dead in 2 other places in 2011 and 2016. Was she even really meant to be a villain? It doesn\u2019t seem like it. The internet says her real name wound up being \u201cKateri Deseronto,\u201d which is\u2026 something. Wild.
