Well, this issue kind of wraps up the whole Harry Osborne, Liz Allan and the Molten Man thing. Last issue Harry and Peter took a road trip to Jersey to visit Liz and little Normie. But things soon escalated out of hand as Liz's brother, the Molten Man, realized the Harry was there and went into an uncontrollable rage. Which, as you can imagine, is not a good thing to happen to someone who calls himself . . the Molten Man. Anyways, Peter, as Spider-man, tries to keep things a little under control, and Harry reveals to Liz that in the time since he's been back he's been trying to find a cure for Mark. Liz thought Harry was trying to shoot him, but actually it's the delivery system for his antidote. One thing leads to another and Harry does indeed end up shooting him with the experimental stuff and . . he seems to be cured. But, we've had 'bad-guys' cured before, so . . who knows if we'll see the Molten Man again or not. But Liz and Harry seem to be getting along better, and Peter and Harry seem to have buried the hatchet. So . . all in all . . it turns out to be a happy ending. Well . . except for Liz's house being pretty much destroyed. Oh yeah, and in the epilogue . . . the Bookie has figured out who the Spider-tracer killer is. He's planning on making a fortune off of it, by selling it to someone. But before he can figure out what to do, someone breaks into his offices, plants a tracer on him, and is then in the process of killing him. "You?! How'd you know I . . . wha? NO! I-I was right! I finally got it right!" But I don't think the man in the gray gloves really cares. Dan Slott wrote this one. It was ok. I think it was a little single minded, but . . it was ok. This story took up the whole issue. Nothing else was covered or even discussed. And that's the one complaint I have about this new Spidey format. I think it's a bit to single minded. But if the price goes up to $3.99 . . I won't be buying this book much longer anyways. Hasta la vista! Baby! By the way, Mike McKone did a fantastic job on the art this issue. As always.
