drive-by readings

so much for the Chameleon. over the past few issues, the Spidey Brain Trust thought it best to up the ante in the game of "how much more can we make a lovable loser out of Peter Parker" by bringing back Mary Jane, right smack in the middle of Peter having platonic-bordering-on-something friendships with like half the female cast (the other half is Aunt May, and that's off-limits). and now they throw Felicia Hardy into the mix. last thing i saw of Spidey and Black Cat being a couple was her being shot up and there's him carrying her to the hospital (ah, nostalgia - anybody remember what issue in the '80s that was?). its okay that the Spidey Brain Trust provides overall direction, but the rotating cast of writers and artists (since Brand New Day) kinda makes the whole thing a bit disjointed, y'know?
and wow, if Peter can do splits like that ... look out, Olympics!

drive-by readings: Amazing Spider-Man #599
 | Amazing Spider-Man #599 (Marvel) "American Son, Part 5 of 5" Joe Kelly Stephen Segovia Paulo Siquiera Marco Checchetto Amilton Santos Jeromy Cox Chris Chuckry Joe Caramagna Phil Jimenez/Andy Lanning (cover) |
you can't say Norman Osborn's a waffler. once its decidedly apparent that Harry doesn't want to play the role of his American Son (after the big reveal of last issue), he takes him off the will and focuses on his yet-unborn child with Lily the Menace (gaaaaahhhh!). this means Harry is pretty much useless to him as a flower in a firefight. but Peter's best friend (seriously? all my years i never saw Harry give to Peter as much as Peter gave to him) has other ideas and narrowly defeats his pyscho pop. only Peter saves him from delivering the final blow (sorry, Logan), ensuring that the Dark Reign will continue well till the end of the year. take a bow, Joe Kelly.

drive-by readings: Amazing Spider-Man #598

gaaaaahhhhh! my eyes!! i need an industrial-strength eyeball washer after that ghastly cover. now i don't wanna be a daddy no more. damn you, Phil Jimenez!
last issue, we were made to understand that Norman Osborn shot Spider-Man (dressed as Venom) in the head, after getting caught infiltrating Avengers Tower. turns out here that the Venom costume as provided by Reed Richards is much tougher than most and saves Peter from another embarrassing unmasking (see: War, Civil). however, Osborn figures out the way to beat the unstable molecules based on Tony Stark's notes (the loser mandated the use of Oscorp technology post-Skrull Invasion, but here he is copping from StarkTech. tch. loser.). good thing Harry comes in to save the day ...
speaking of Harry ... well, what can i say? either he's the most unstable, unreliable dude in the world or he's just naive like its 1999. there's no room for any other characterization. somehow the revelation that that "Menacing" baby is not Harry's is thumbs up in my book, as Marvel puts the adult spin on these stories responsibly and not coyly like Ultimates 3. whether we can admit it or not, the Spidey brain-trust has slowly righted the ship (post-Mephisto deal).

drive-by readings: Amazing Spider-Man #597

the thing i like about Dark Reign, being more of a theme rather than a crossover event, is that it can work on so many levels of the Marvel U. and with Norman Osborn taking charge, the largest impact should be on the Wall Crawler's life, with that being the injury while the ascension of JJJ as NYC mayor as the insult.
trying to save his bestest friend Harry (who as history shows, isn't worth saving most of the time) from his psycho dad, Peter masquerades as Venom to penetrate Avengers Tower, all by himself. before you say "how stupid is that??", believe me, he already knows, judging by the two arrows protruding from his calves, courtesy of Bullseye/Hawkeye. this title has had its fair share of great cliffhangers and this is no exception.
the whole premise of American Son is that Norman wants his own "Captain America" or symbolic figure to legitimize his reign, so to speak. the problem is whether ultimately, Harry would take the job anyway, regardless of the gun his dad is holding to his head. Spider-Man just goes in anyway. you gotta give the man props.
hang on, Spidey; Captain America's coming back. or so they say.
so is Otto Octavius. i think. with some recruits from the Minority Report.
