We don't really find out much more about these Mayan warriors this issue. But, the good doctor does explain the situation a little better. " . . I spear-headed the development of a computational operating system using multi-dimensional algorithms as base code. Y-you see, reality consists of much more than the four space / time dimensions that we can perceive. Mathematics proves other realms exist . . but our brains lack the sophistication to incorporate them into our model of "reality". My operating system works from a model of the universe that contains over ten dimensions. An interesting side effect of this is that binary input commands become useless. Instead of 1's and 0's , we input abstract shapes and symbols . . ", which he shows them a picture of. That's when they make the connection that these same symbols are tattooed all of the the bodies of the warriors. Meanwhile, Spidey is trying to work his way across town to save the scientist's comrades who are locking in a delivery truck . . in the middle of a snowstorm. On his way there, he comes across some kind of being . . I'm guessing a Mayan god-creature. It's looking for blood for it's sacrifice. Spider-man convinces it that he's a priest, not a victim, and it let's him go. After finding the rest of them, it appears that Rabin, the scientist, summoned this being forth by killing Dave, one of their group, and offering his blood up as a sacrifice. I'm guessing, that's when the Mayan's showed up, stopping him. So now, apparently, this being is loose, but since Rabin didn't finish the sacrifice, it's running around without a purpose until Rabin can offer up another to tell him what to do. At least, that's my guess. Also, this is confirmed, because back at the station, we find out that Rabin is also covered with these symbols, and now he's trying to kill one of the Mayans. When one of the officers notices the commotion, he looks at her and says, "Hello, officer. You're just in time for church." I have to say, I like this particular chapter of this book better than the previous two. Of course part of that could be the incredible artwork of Chris Bachalo. He really turns in an incredible issue this time. There are some pages in here that are absolutely stunning. I also really enjoyed the story by Zeb Wells. This was truly an excellent issue . . all around.
