Terry Dodson did not have to go so hard on this cover. There\u2019s so much detail. Look at the iPod in that kid\u2019s back pocket with the headphone cord trailing up! Look at the undercarriage of that car! He totally didn\u2019t have to do this. I\u2019d much rather talk about that than read this comic, but I guess I have to. Spider-Man\u2019s narration on page 1 sez Daredevil and Dr. Strange weren\u2019t home and he made an idiot of himself in front of the Avengers, so the Owl was his best bet. Categorically untrue! What about the FF? Spider-Man currently has TWO friends in the police department. And the Owl\u2019s not even a prime mover in the underworld! At any rate, Electro asks Spider-Man to \u201cgive the girl two minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a great Spidey-in-motion, I have to say. Also, after last issue, I TOTALLY think you\u2019re stupid, Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That bit was fun, at least. I can give them that. Electro goes after Spider-Man, asking what he thinks of his new suit. Which is not especially different from the old one, and most of the changes are worse, like adding underwear on the outside in the year of our Lord 2004. This is the period where DC had taken the undies OFF of Batman because it looks stupid, and they added some to Electro. He, well, electrocutes Spidey pretty bad while yammering about how he wouldn\u2019t believe what the villains get up to that the superheroes never even hear about. I suddenly remember a part of this story that sucks that I had forgotten, oh boy. Electro starts murdering civilians because he\u2019s a bad guy in a Mark Millar comic, in case you\u2019d forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You plunk down your $3 for a Spider-Man, you always hope, in the back of your mind, \u201cI hope a bunch of children die just to upset Spider-Man in this comic. There\u2019s no way that would be at all distasteful!\u201d Electro drops a bunch of cars and trucks on Spider-Man, who even cares, I am so over this garbage. Electro makes the mistake of calling Vulture to gloat and now, suitably motivated by the murder of children, Spider-Man beats the crap out of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what did he expect??? Honor among thieves? Ugh, I hate this comic so much. Spider-Man smashes to the ground on top of a car and is rushed to a hospital in an ambulance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We cut to MJ calling their answering machine saying she\u2019s tired of being scared in a motel and is coming home, when she sees a reporter waving Spider-Man\u2019s mask around in front of a hospital. An administrator is dressing down the surgeon for letting this happen, worrying that people knowing Spider-Man is here will bring some supervillain down on them, and guess what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the Vulture has a new look, too. The colors make more sense, I guess, I\u2019ll give them that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
