I think I like the direction that this book is taking so far. Yes they're going after some of the good guys. Spider-man in particular, this issue. But we're going to get to see a lot more heroes. A much greater variety. And we're going to see some of their training and orientation. Plus we'll get a glimpse as the new teams are formed, and new alliances made. Like I said, this issue they decide to go after Spider-man. Really though, it's just the War Machine and Komodo. But they have some very high tech devices at their disposal. The super-prisons that they've built, with the inhibitor collars for the inmates? Well they've got that same tech is some bullets. Basically, if they're shot, the bullets go into their bloodstream and cut off their powers. They're called Super-Power-Inhibiting-Nanobots. Or SPIN tech, for short. And they have to be calibrated for an individuals specific DNA. So they're not cheap. And they'll probably only be used in extreme cases. But they also have some other tech at their disposal, that we haven't found out about until this issue. They have copies of Spider-man's armored costume. You know the one that Tony made for him? My guess is that the whole time Peter was using it, Tony was monitoring him and cataloging his reactions to situations to train other people to use them also. They're called the Scarlet Spiders. Yes there's more than one. And as War Machine eludes to Peter during their frakus, " . . . you've been using your powers irresponsibly. And we're here to take them away from you. That's what our weapons do. Parker. That's their sole purpose. But don't worry, we have no intention of leaving the world without a Spider-man . . ." Pretty cool stuff. Only 3 issues in to this and we're already dealing with some of the big guns. Can't wait to see where they go from here.
