the Amazing Spider-man #587 - Marvel


This is another story by Marc Guggenheim that I really liked. Everything is starting to come to a head here, and . . it doesn't look good for 'ol Spidey. First of all, it turns out that Harry's girlfriend, Lily, is actually Menace. She beat up Spider-man last issue, and while unconscious he got arrested. Not to mention, when Harry finds out about Lily, it sends him to a whole 'nother place. I think he might finally be off the wagon. Secondly, Carlie finds out that Vin and his partner are in on the Spider-tracer killings. So she goes to the Chief to report it. However, it looks like he's in on it also because next thing we know Vin and Carlie are getting arrested for conspiracy. Whoever else is in on it is trying to lay the whole thing on them. Matt comes to Peter's aid as his attorney. And brings him a web-shooter so that he can help protect Vin when he gets sent to prison. As I said with issue #545 . . #546 was basically a fill-in issue . . this title is starting to seem more like the good 'ol Spidey books of old. It seems like we're finally getting a feel back to this title that is hasn't had ever since A Brand New Day started. Don't get me wrong, there's been a few good issues during that time period. But really . . no consistency. By the way I loved John Romita Jr's pencils in this issue also. Spot on!
