Alright, let\u2019s see this turkey out. The villains attack in a 2-page spread with a lot of coloring mistakes. Weird that Venom isn\u2019t in the baddie roster. Jack O\u2019Lantern recaps at Mysterio while also realizing DD is blind, which seems bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever. As the battle against fake people continues, DD and Spidey begin hallucinating their father figures, Matt\u2019s Dad and Uncle Ben. This leaves them incapacitated, and then it\u2019s up to Just A Guy Named Joe to fight all the robot villains. And he suddenly discovers he\u2019s got super strength, \u2018cuz why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JJJ tells them Jack is Berkhart, and Spidey thinks that makes sense. Glad someone does. Joe gets knocked out by Robo-Kraven and Jack grabs Bet\/sy in the chaos. Then, since we\u2019re running out of pages, DeFalco has to try to sell the idea that Mad Jack was Berkhart the whole time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oh, sure, a guy dressed like Jack O\u2019Lantern claiming to be an ancient spirit who just happens to look like Jack O\u2019Lantern, everyone was thinking \u201cThat guy\u2019s obviously trying to be Mysterio.\u201d And he didn\u2019t \u201chave a thing for Jameson,\u201d he had a history with Marla. Yer not fooling anybody, Tom. But wait:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations, this makes LESS sense than Berkhart! But wait again, because after the heroes confront Mad Jack, he gets real big to be scary, and they\u2019re suddenly totally immune t his illusions, and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like when DeFalco walked back Scrier\u2019s all-powerful, immortal status in ASM 417<\/a>, him walking back Mad Jack\u2019s all-powerful, immortal status is a big, dumb letdown. What a bunch of nothing. You\u2019ll be shocked to hear that \u201cMaguire Beck\u201d never appeared in anything else again. Daniel Berkhart, on the other hand, has a surprising 6 more comics ahead of him here, and 4 of them will be covered on the ol\u2019 blog eventually. For now, we\u2019re actually gonna see a few issues of ASM and PPSM. But don\u2019t get too comfortable, there\u2019s another miniseries lurking in the near future\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
