This issue actually seemed more like the normal Amazing books, than some of the others did. Peter's bad luck is back, and it seems like he goes from one bad situation to the next. He starts out on a roof having just been blinded by this new Vulture character. He's beat up pretty badly until he calms down and tries to use his 'spider-sense' to locate the guy . . before he hits him again. He webs up his face and the guy finally takes off. This Vulture usually goes after the weak or downtrodden, so Spidey probably put up more of a fight than he's used to. Then, when he goes back to his apartment, he finds out that he's got a guest staying there . . Vin's sister, Michelle. Unfortunately since his costume has been torn to shreds he's wandering around naked when he comes across her. So now, she thinks he's a pervert. Then, when he lays a trap for this new Vulture, by webbing up a mugger, he ends up destroying his new-found public image. In the alley the Vulture takes to the air, but Spidey has the brilliant idea of tailing along by attaching himself to his feet. So now he's flailing around in the air behind him. Unfortunately, they end up at Yankee stadium during Legends day. So they're packed. He comes swinging in and takes out the press-box because of his momentum. He ends up beating the Vulture by breaking his arms and webbing him up, but . . he's still blamed by all the fans for ruining their beautiful day of baseball. The next day the headline of the DB reads, "Yankees game called on account of Bug! City to Spider-man: Drop Dead!" Ouch! That's a blow to someones ego. Poor Peter. He can never catch a break. But what really has Peter upset is that when he smashed into the press-box, he saw Norman Osborn standing there. He's upset because he can't believe that the man he's fought so much has risen to this height of power. Oh yeah, and JJ's dad proposes to Aunt May. All in all, I thought it was a pretty good issue. Mark Waid, Mike McKone and Barry Kitson did a really good job with this one. Next month Phil Jimenez is finally back. I can't wait. Also, this month's cover is by Joe Quesada . . again.
