Yeah, this issue is cover dated \u201cMid Dec.\u201d All the Spidey titles shipped twice this month. Did other Marvel titles? I\u2019m not sure. Same team as last issue as we and Mary Jane find Peter sitting up on the roof of their building, saying he thinks he\u2019s losing his mind. He recaps TAC 158 and then says he doesn\u2019t dare use his new powers until he understands them. MJ suggests he come downstairs and talk, but he says he\u2019s got a meeting with Thomas Fireheart in 10 minutes, and takes off as Spider-Man, even tho it looks like the middle of the night. Then we cut to Dr. Doom watching Titania work out. Doom created Titania by giving a regular woman tremendous strength in the original Secret Wars, and she\u2019s been on several misadventures since, often in the company of longtime boyfriend and Hulk foe The Absorbing Man. She says if Doom will let her into his Acts of Vengeance thing, she can\u2019t wait to go after She-Hulk, but Doom explains that\u2019s the last person she\u2019d be sent after since she\u2019s lost to She-Hulk a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Doom sends her raging on her way, a condition he created by planting a machine on her shoulder to alter her mood, knowing she won\u2019t win her fight. After what happened to Trapster, Doom is as keen to find out what\u2019s going on with Spider-Man as he is, so this is a test. Meanwhile, Thomas Fireheart presents his newspaper staff with their new mandate: positive Spider-Man coverage. He says JJJ\u2019s bias has ruined this paper for too long, so we\u2019re doing this. Kate Cushing points out that a pro-Spider-Man editorial bent is just as biased as an anti-Spider-Man editorial bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Titania smashes into the city room more or less exactly the way Spider-Man is on the cover, demanding to know where \u201che\u201d is, so enraged people have to ask who she\u2019s looking for. As a very confused Peter ducks out to give her what she wants, Thomas Fireheart makes the unusual choice to sneak attack Kate Cushing and knock her out so he can turn into The Puma. I guess that\u2019s one way to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Good job, Puma! Spider-Man catches an unconscious Puam in a web and drops him on a nearby roof. He worries that saving him will only make Fireheart more convinced he owes Spidey a debt, but he\u2019s got bigger problems, as Titania reaches out the window and grabs him by the throat. Soon they\u2019re both plunging toward the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spidey once again thinks he should have died as he flies out of that hole, and again as Titania throws a big chunk of the street at him that hardly hurts. He\u2019s really confused and freaked out as she presses the attack. But then Puma gets back in the game, and accidentally claws Doom\u2019s control device off her shoulder, so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He really botched that one. She leaps on him and begins pummeling his face, an attack that absolutely would\u2019ve crushed his skull 2 days ago, but as Doom notes, it doesn\u2019t seem like that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go today. He also notes, however, that Spidey is refusing to use his newfound power, and wonders how long that can last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well now. That energy visual seems awfully specific, doesn\u2019t it? But what does it mean? Spidey\u2019s no closer to any answers. Maybe he\u2019ll find some next post. So far, he\u2019s only fought a couple of jobbers with his new powers, but that changes next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
