He\u2019s back! This could be weird. It opens with a pretty striking minimalist splash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, former Spidey group editor Danny Fingroth is the\u00a0 new writer for now. Vince Colletta and J. Ferriter round out the art team as Greg LaRocque hangs on a couple more months. Spider-Man has followed some goons who stole \u201c3 truck loads of furs\u201d back to their hideout. Three? That seems excessive. Spidey launches into the superheroics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet Vince Colletta, notorious for erasing backgrounds he didn\u2019t want to ink on Kirby\u2019s classic Thor pages, is really into this darkness. Our guy makes quick work of all but one goon, who almost runs him down in one of their trucks before smashing through a wall and trying to escape. But he tries to drive under an overpass that\u2019s too low, so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

LaRocque\u2019s Spidey has a clean, classic look without aping Romita. That\u2019s very rare. It\u2019s a shame he didn\u2019t get to do more. Spidey tells the cops where to find the other guys and takes off, so Peter Parker can deliver his photos from the warehouse. But Robbie\u2019s not interested, saying the public is tired of these kind of shots and the low lighting makes them too weird to print properly. But when Peter literally bumps into JJJ, Jonah sees them and thinks they\u2019d be perfect for his oft-mentioned new venture, a revival of \u201cNow Magazine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Hey, it\u2019s the debut of Doc Ock\u2019s utterly delusional psychiatrist! We\u2019ve seen him before, but that took place after this, because confusion is fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Otto wakes from a nightmare to see a spider on his ceiling, which makes him flashback to his brutal defeat in TAC 79<\/a> and also to the rather insane way he got home from Secret Wars, all positioned as part of his breakdown. He gets so agitated his arms break loose from \u201ca facility deep underground in another part of the city\u201d to come protect him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The arms smash through cops and sophisticated SHIELD tech alike searching for their master. Peter Parker hears a news bulletin about it while he\u2019s shopping for camera equipment, and soon Spider-Man is on the case. He doesn\u2019t catch up before the arms more or less kidnap an unconscious Doc Ock. He tries to talk to them, but feels silly, and it doesn\u2019t seem to help. They smash around until Spider-Man is left Lifting A Very Heavy Thing, as he is wont to do, to protect people from the building collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet that psychiatrist still thinks he can rehab Ock next time we see him. Some people never learn. This month\u2019s Bullpen Bulletins is not written by Jim Shooter as normal, because he\u2019s writing Secret Wars II, and Roger Stern fills in. Over the course of his column, he says, \u201cNo, I will not tell you who Hobgoblin is!\u201d Funny that he didn\u2019t even know at this time. At least, according to what was ultimately published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
