Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman #15 - Marvel


We get some flashbacks this issue, into what made Toomes who he is today, the Vulture. He's out to get some revenge on Peter, for what he's put him through in the past, and also because he was dispatched to do so by the govt.. You know. He's a refugee now. Anyways he figures he'll show up at Deb Whitman's book signed. The tell all about how Peter screwed her over when they were younger, lied to her, and took advantage of her. Boo frickin' hoo! And he's right, Peter does want to confront her. He doesn't understand how they could once date, and now she's going to stab him in the back. But he can't go as himself, he has to use his new secret id of Ben Reilly. But before he can get there, Betty Brant has showed up to confront Deb herself. We also see a little of Flash and Arrow, the secretive school nurse, this issue. There's something about her, but we don't know what it is just yet. But before Peter gets a chance to say anything, the Vulture shows up and takes Deb hostage. Well, for a couple of minutes anyways, until Peter gets in costume and takes the fight to the air. Well, the Vultures fighting smarter now, and pegs Peter with a strong hallucinogen. Peter's falling to his demise, and just then something strikes the Vulture. So you see what's going to happen next issue. Peter's going to have to save him too. Anyways, nice book, and good art by Scott Eaton.
