I love an issue with everything. That\u2019s only 3 things, tho. I\u2019ve been promised everything with more things in the past. And The Punisher\u2019s getting arrested AND put on trial this issue? That seems fast. Greg LaRoque is back in the penciler chair and George Roussos tags in for colors. This issue opens with Black Cat rescuing a girl from a gang of muggers. Here\u2019s the thing, tho:

Soooooo that\u2019s ridiculous. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is busting up some dudes who make fake credit cards. Man, is that still a thing? Seemed like something people were really concerned about in the 80s. Now they just steal your info.

\u201cPolice Lady\u201d seems a weird thing to call someone. DeWolff thinks to herself about how she\u2019s into Spider-Man as he leaves, not for the first time. Spidey recaps his recent adventures to himself\/us, and also thinks The Punisher is to be arraigned today as he heads to visit Felicia in the hospital. Huh. So I guess Punisher was picked up by the cops from Kingpin\u2019s house? Why is he not dead, seriously? Whatever, I guess. Felicia\u2019s not in her room, of course, having passed out in that alley.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not how the Spider Sense works!!!

99% of the time, Felicia is the one being awful in their relationship, but disappearing into your own thoughts and then just jumping out the window is not cool, man. He swings off worrying about the idea of Cat being his crime fighting partner as we turn our attention to The Daily Bugle. JJJ has called a meeting of Peter Parker, Ben Urich, Joe Robertson and Glory Grant to strategize about covering The Punisher\u2019s trial. They\u2019ve heard Frank\u2019s lawyer is going to plead insanity, something Ben says makes sense, but JJJ isn\u2019t sure. Ben recaps Punisher\u2019s origin, told here only for the 2nd time ever, how he and his family were witness to a mob killing, so they were also all shot, but Frank survived, and put his past as a soldier to work going to war with criminals.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You\u2019d think that conversation would continue on the next page, but it does not. Weird. We cut abruptly to the hearing instead. The state argues he is methodical in his actions and not crazy, while the defense tries the insanity plea. But Frank himself can\u2019t stomach that, interrupting the judge saying he\u2019s not fit to stand trial to declare that he\u2019s not crazy.

Seems like an absurd question Peter\u2019s asking himself down there, but that\u2019s pretty much what happened during the grimdark nonsense of the mid-90s. Behind the scenes, Tom DeFalco has been promoted to Marvel\u2019s first-ever Executive Editor, and Danny Fingroth has taken over as editor of the Spider-Titles. Thus, the tight continuity the books have been enjoying will give way to the irreconcilable mess of the black costume era soon. They can\u2019t all be winners.
