Amazing Spider-Man #22 Plot: Senator Ward captures Venom (you have no idea how painful it was for me to write that) in an effort to help him understand his own relationship with an alien virus the Z'Nox have infected him with. Likes: Not much. The only cool part was when Spidey dropped a water tower on some Iron Man types. Well, okay, the part where Arthur Stacy boosted the power output on Spidey's tracers to REALLY get his attention was cool, too! Dislikes: Howard Mackie is one of the best Spider-Writers of all time, but he has had his share of lame issues since the relaunch, and this is one of the worst. The whole alien virus thing was just plain gross...Venom getting sacked by a politician was just plain SAD. And Spidey wandering around clueless in this issue doesn't exactly boost his image, either. Rating: web-heads out of four.
