And so another potentially good story ends on a lackluster note. Warning: there will be spoilers.
So apparently the death of Kaine and Mattie Franklin drive Spider-Man to the point where he is ready to kill. He even rips off a woman's face. You read that right, Spider-Man uses his sticky fingers to pull the skin off of Mrs. Kraven's face. He doesn't kill her though. He does almost kill Kraven, but the new Madame Web (previously Spider-Woman II) talks him out of it.
Yes. Having the Kingpin order a hit that almost kills Aunt May doesn't cause Spidey to kill, but seeing his evil clone die sends him into a psychotic rage. On occasion I wonder if the writers have ever read another Spider-Man book before.
The art is inconsistent, as the regular artists needed an assist (again the problem of having a book out almost every week).
This is a great example of how the story could have really built up over the last 4 months. Instead we got it in a single month. I would only pick up this book if you have already invested in the first 3 parts.
Tale of the Tape
Cost: $4
Length: 20 minutes.
Is it worth it?: Um. Sort of? Unless you bought parts 1-3 just read the wikipedia entry.
