Amazing Spider-Man #15
Plot: The story opens with Peter packing his bags and heading off to Latveria. Peter had received a phone call telling him that Mary Jane is still alive, and in Doctor Doom’s country. So he stows away on an airliner and heads off.
Spidey then tries to brake into Dooms castle, but witnesses a Civil War with the citizens. He rescues one of the young gals fighting and she’s trying to find her father. The young lady then hides Spidey in her humble HUD housing as the Doom-Bots fly off when they can’t find the two . Meanwhile we find out this young girl is a big fan of superheroes.
Likes: Byrne turns in some better than average pencils. The guy draws a cool looking Dr. Doom, even if we know it’s not the real deal.
Dislikes: Besides Byrne’s pencils, there is nothing good about this issue. What is Spidey doing off in Latveria? Also what happened to Spidey’ so called plan that he has to find MJ? He states he has one in the beginning of the issue, but abandons it to help find this poor girls parents. This girl was a cheap throw away character and added nothing to the story. Also Spider-Man didn’t even fight the real Doom, he fought his robot clones. …whoops, I mean doubles. Mackie reached a new low with this issue. Rating:One lonely Spider-head out of four. You didn’t miss a thing if you skipped this issue.
