We get yet another artist this issue . . Marco Chechetto. He's not nearly as good as the last 2 . . Phil Jimenez and Paulo Siqueira, but . . I guess with this story-arc, it's the story that is more important. Don't get me wrong, Marco's work isn't terrible . . it's actually ok. It shows a whole lot of potential. But, being stacked against Phil and Paulo's work is a hard thing to do. However, Phil does still do the cover. Anyways, we find out some more about Norman's plans this issue. Remember, Peter has now infiltrated the Avengers headquarters and is posing as, well . . himself. Or I should say, the the slimmed down Venom, Gargan, version of himself. Anyways, Norman is working on a way of combining his 'Goblin-juice' with the Super-soldier formula. He's testing it on various subjects in the Avengers labs, breeding a whole bunch of monsters. But . . "Monsters breed miracles. We have stabilized the formula, finally. All that remains are a few practical tests and then we'll be ready. Harry is more than capable of rising to the challenge . . once he's properly motivated." It appears that Harry actually is in love with Lily, Malice. But he has to figure out how to help Lily soon because the Menace persona is already changing her body, and . . there's no telling what it's doing to thier baby. Peter goes up to the 25th floor to for 'monitor duty' when he's confronted by Daken. It appears that Peter's fooled everybody else, but Daken says he doesn't smell right . . "You forgot to do something about the smell. You're too clean for Gargan." There's a great fight scene between them, and surprisingly Peter takes him out. Then Harry shows up. Peter tries to explain things to Harry . . fill him in on his father's plans really quick, but then Norman and the rest of the Avengers show up. Peter doesn't know that Harry is trying to protect Lily so he doesn't understand what's going on when Harry betrays him to his father. The issue ends with Norman shooting Peter, and then . . it looks like Norman's going to perform another test with his 'Goblin-juice'/Super-soldier formula . . on Spider-man. Also this issue, it appears that there's another new menace starting to pop up around town. Could this be the beginning of Dr Octopus' return? Joe Kelly is doing a fantastic job with this story-line. I really like the idea of Spider-man infiltrating the Avengers like this. We'll see everybody's true colors because I can't believe all these guys would let Norman follow through with his plans here. But there's 2 issues left in this story-arc, so . . .
