Story: We open with Peter and May making web-fuild. This is life in the May Parker House, and Mayday decides to take a new direction possibly, we find out who exactly our stalker is, and we have two new items, which of course I’ll discuss below.

When I read the last sequence, I literally dropped my jaw, in a ‘Oh he is going THERE?!” There Being the subject of Clones. Clones are the second-most touchiest subject of Spiderlore, and Tommy D and Ron Frenz Pulled it all out to ramp up this five Part Storyline, which gives a SHOT to the Arm that I think myself and others have wanted to feel since the end of the last volume, something important happens. The Second run felt a tad sluggish thoughout the first 19 issues, which exceptions to being the Carnage storyline. But still, this is the type of thing that needs to be hyped, to be sung to high heaven. I’m really stoked about this overall direction. Seeing Normie after a too-long absence is great. Peter’s initial reaction to this was good to see too. (Looks like we’ll see more next ish.

The Second main point in this story is the revelation that Sara the Mutant is the stalker, and that makes complete sense, considering that May revealed her secret somewhat to her. But again, while this has been building for several issues, I can’t stress this enough: This point has gone on too long. And we get the Reincarnation of the Friends of Humanity storyline that ran though the X-Books and notably the Peter Parker book in the late nineties with Paul Stacy, Shocker, and Trapster. Something I liked back then, but I’m not too enthused this go around. We’ll see.

The Art is Superb, as always, and Only looks to maintain the consistencies that it’s had since the reluanch.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
