Now here\u2019s a couple of fellas who look like the Sons of the Tiger or whoever they were that had White Tiger\u2019s powers before he did, a thing I did not know about when this was a new comic. This month begins with a little montage of an isolated Peter Parker zombie-ing through his day as dozens of balloons of random conversation snippets float by. One of them is \u201cWould you still love me if I was secretly a supervillain with a robotic scorpion tail?\u201d and another finger curls on the monkey\u2019s paw. Who knew I\u2019d keep making that reference? Then we see Spider-Man eagerly swinging away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A realistic portrayal of a cop responding to a surprise. Soon, Deeeeeee Wolfeeee is on the roof, asking Spider-Man if he\u2019s ok. He wants to talk to her, and he\u2019s trying to tell her about his pizza dinner with Kingpin, but she assumes he\u2019s joking. He finally gets to tell her he has Hammerhead\u2019s address, and that gets her attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven minutes ago, Danny Rand ran into Shang-Chi on the street in Chinatown. We will recall Shang-Chi from the last 2 issues of UMTU, where his story that was clearly meant to be longer than 2 issues was not. Soon, they\u2019re already having dinner (They got into a restaurant, order and got served in less than 7 minutes?), discussing how \u201cMaster Kee\u201d is dead, and Shang talks about how he has to protect this neighborhood. Then Danny says the gangs he\u2019s fighting clearly haven\u2019t learned their lesson. A bunch of gang members have arrived with Hammerhead, who wanted to know why they weren\u2019t making payments to Kingpin, and the answer is Shang-Chi. So Hammerhead shoots him, smugly saying they should get guns, but then he sees Shang-Chi caught the bullet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes nicely with Hammerhead getting shot in USM 79 and surviving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thrilling heroics continue for several pages, with some guys getting thrown through that window on top of Hammerhead, but he finally shakes them off and lines up a shot at the back of Shang-Chi\u2019s head. But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said this one would be full of guest-stars, and they weren\u2019t kiddin\u2019! It kinda reads like if that Round Robin story in ASM had been, you know, any good. Strangely, the next issue published was the first Ultimate Spider-Man Annual, which does not take place during this story. I don\u2019t know why you\u2019d do that, but they did. We\u2019ll be skipping that for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
