Kaine\u2019s logo seemingly being just a random typeface is kinda disappointing. Does that font really say \u201cKaine?\u201d Certainly not to me. So. He looks like he\u2019s covered in webs. He has some kind of insect-themed mechanism on one hand. He\u2019s got brown hair. He knows all about Peter Parker\u2019s life and is desperate to save Mary Jane from certain death. In a story full of Peter Parker clones, who could Kaine be??? For us to find out, he\u2019s gotta survive being choke slammed into a wall by Stunner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Momentarily free of judgment (Where\u2019d Raven go?), Stunner is about to kill Kaine when he distracts her by trying to \u201cmark\u201d her. That gives Spider-Man time to get back and break them up. Spidey tries to appeal to her better nature by saying they have to save the life of an innocent man, but Kaine says he won\u2019t help and Stunner doesn\u2019t care, anyway, and starts throwing industrial equipment at them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If Kaine\u2019s so eager for Peter to live his life, why would he force him to adopt some fake identity after \u201che\u201d was executed for murder? Is that any way for his unborn child to grow up? Anyway, the building collapses on just Stunner, which is weirder, since they were all standing together and she seemed pretty aware of what was going on. Spidey tries to dig her out, Kaine refusing to help, but then she vanishes again. So now it\u2019s just the 2 of them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Um\u2026 ok. Kaine has been portrayed as SO much  more powerful, and yet.. Wham. At the courthouse Tower seems to be making his closing arguments, saying Peter Parker deserves the death penalty. Spider-Man is right outside the building with Kaine, saying it\u2019s time the world knew the truth. Then Kaine just bursts loose and says Spidey would not like the truth. I guess he could\u2019ve been faking, but then why allow himself to be brought here? They start fighting again, smashing into the building. The judge gets word and pauses the trial, telling everyone to stay seated for their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to know how Tom Lyle decided where to put random lines on Spider-Man\u2019s face. IS he glowing? Metallic? Is he in light and shadow at once? This is a common thing with Lyle, and it\u2019s very confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How did he pull that mask off that way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spidey\u2019s total lack of reaction at first is weird. But in the end, he\u2019s outsmarted Kaine with his inherent sense of responsibility, and of all villains, Kaine should\u2019ve seen this coming. Kaine is furious, but Peter is committed. He\u2019s gonna go in there and tell the world he\u2019s Spider-Man and that he\u2019s been cloned at least 3 times. That would\u2019ve been something. But as he kicks his way into the court room, Kaine at his heels, the situation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since when does he have to take the glove off??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Gotta play the hits, I guess. Well, there\u2019s that. This whole dopey trial thing is nearly over and Kaine is revealed. You might think\u2026 especially if you happened to be me reading this as it came out\u2026 that this leaves no use for Kaine in the future. But as we\u2019ve seen elsewhere, they just kept bringing him back. Come back next time for perhaps the single most awful, most unforgivable page in the history of Spider-Man comics.
