Last issue we jumped into this whole Character Assassination story-line . . Peter's been arrested, we find out that the Police may actually be behind framing him for the Spider-tracer killings, and Menace is actually a friend of his, Lily. Then this issue? Marc Guggenheim puts on the brakes for an interlude. Aaargghh! I hate it when they do things like this. This issue is all about showing us what happened to Lily and why. I don't care. Show me this in a back-up story over the next couple of issues. Everybody's got a rough life. Everybody has daddy issues. But not all of us steal Norman's formula and turn ourselves into psychotic raving villains. And then? Then we have to watch and listen to her and Harry try to work it out. She tells Harry that she kissed Peter. It turns out that the secret room that she found in Norman's office . . it's activated by a book on the shelves. Peter was about to pick up that book, so . . in order to stop him, she kissed him to distract him. Who cares? It was a kiss. Anyways it all turns out that Harry will become submissive to a more dominating personality. Again! These are the types of people that always end up running his life. In the end, Lily tells Harry that they're going to be married in 6 months. And, in typical Harry fashion, in response to all of this drama . . and being pushed around by yet another alpha-personality . . he goes into the room, gets a glider, a costume and some formula. This is Harry dealing with Harry's inadequacies. Ok. It wasn't a terrible issue. We did get to see Barry Kitson's pencils after all. But . . just when the story got started rolling last issue . . we go in a different direction this issue. Now that it's over . . I'm ok with it. Lets get on with the story. Please!
