Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman #16 - Marvel


This series is getting better. We're still getting some of the fallout from Peter going public. Deb Whitman wrote a tell all book about what is was like to be Spider-man's girlfriend. The problem is that it turned out to be a Peter bashing book. Well, last issue Peter decides to go and confront her at her book signing. Turns out a lot of people wanted to go and stick up for Peter. Betty Brandt and Flash showed up also. As did the Vulture, knowing that Peter couldn't pass this up. Well we ended up last issue with the Vulture dosing Spider-man, and Spidey falling to his death. Well of course he swings out of it, but on the way back up he runs in to, literally, the Vulture. He had a cardiac arrest while in the air. Spider-man takes him to the hospital, but all the Vulture wants to do is die. He says he would rather die than live as half a man. I gave Peter David some shit during the Goblin storyline. But ever since that arc, this book has been on a definite upswing. This book may still be able to join the ranks of the other esteemed Spidey titles. Congratulations.
