This book has really gotten good. Of course the artwork of Angel Medina doesn't hurt. Also the Clayton Crain covers are fantabulous. This issue wraps up the "Deadly Foes of Peter Parker" storyline. Lately, Peter, and anyone he's close to, has been attacked by any and all of his foes. They seem to be random, and for no apparent reason, but, come to find out, the Chameleon has been orchestrating the whole thing. All these people that already didn't like the Spider-man, seem to hate him even more now that they know who he is. So the Chameleon trys to set up a trap for SM with Liz and Normie Osborne. He trys to take him down with the Molten Man, Will-O-Wisp and the Scarecrow. While he goes after Aunt May on his own. Well, you just know that those 3 lunk heads aren't going to be able to do the job. Especially with SM's cool new outfit. So he beats them up, finds out from Molten Man that the Chameleon is behind the whole thing, and that he is going after aunt May even as they speak. Actually, SM wins because the Black Cat shows up to help him out a little bit. So he, and she, take off for Avenger tower, because that's where they live now. But what he doesn't know is that old Aunt May is pretty good at protecting herself. As they're going up the elevator, and into their apartment, May has been testing him. She bakes him some cookies, and convinces him that she has poisoned him with arsenic. Actually she's ground up some Ambien and put them in to knock him out. So when Peter shows up, he's already taken care of. But, Peter is still upset that his decision to out himself has put everyone in his life in danger. Good book, good art, and fantastic characters. I don't see any down side to buying this book.
