Sensational Spider-man #27 - Marvel

I like the direction this book is going in. Of course it helps that I love Angel Medina's artwork. We find out in this issue that all the feral commotion going on is because someone brought back to New York a piece of the Rock of Life. It supposed to be, "The prime asteroid from which all life sprang. Whose physical properties changed over time, eventually triggering the great ice age. Pieces of it still exist and give off radiation that disrupts the very laws of nature and science. That can, in fact, reverse the evolutionary process." Do I smell the Evolutionary hanging around somewhere. Not really, but, this rock being in New York, around a potpourri of human and mutant oddities, has begun to take an effect. The only ones even capable of keeping a semi cool head is Black Cat, Puma and of course Spider-man. They eventually stop the process by negating the radiation with a piece of Spider-man's new outfit. He also learns about a new power of camouflage that his suit is capable of. Everything goes back to normal, except for, I think, the guy who originally brought the rock. And life goes on. For now. There's an ominous warning at the end from Madame Web. Peter tells Mary Jane that, "things still feel very, very wrong in the world." To which Madame Web replys, "As well they should, Spider-man . . . . your life, such that it is . . . . is about to get much, much more complicated. " Ohhh, scary. Seriously though, I like this Madame Web character. She's been around for awhile now, but we still don't know much more about her now than we did in the beginning. Does she remind anyone else, besides me, of Aunt May? Cool book!!!
