Another great cover by J Scott Campbell. Meeooww! This issue, and last, was kind of a long complicated story. But, in the end . . I think the pay-off was worth it. Last issue when Spidey was following the Cat around, she lead him to Dexter Bennett's apartment. There, in his safe, they found Bernie Mayer. He turns out to be an old business associate of Bennett's. About 20 years ago, they owned a development company together. Bennett ended up getting out because he thought Mayer made to many shady deals. Anyways, it end up the one of the deals he made was for some steel from the Diablo. Who also ends up being an amateur alchemist. Anyways, everything he makes eventually turns to dust. But some take longer than others. Bennett didn't know where Mayer got the steel from. But when Spidey is fighting Diablo he figures it out. That's why Diablo was at Mayer's construction offices. He didn't want anyone to find the records of where he got the steel from. Anyways, long story short . . when the building was new Diablo, under various shell corporations, took out more than a few insurance policies for the business' that resided in the building. Because it was a new building, and he was insuring against 'acts of god', the policies were pretty cheap. But they amounted to billions of dollars. Luckily Spidey and Cat figure it all out and bring his plans down around his ears. However, when he realizes what he's lost, he's confronted by Ana Kravinov. Kraven's daughter. As she recruited Mysterio a few issues, for her and her mother's plans, she now recruits Diablo. She's building up some kind of group here to take down Spider-man. But those plans will have to wait for a few issues, I imagine, because next issue we get to the question . . Who was Ben Reilly? This issue was brought to us by Joe Kelly and Mike McKone. I thought it was neat to see Spidey let loose a little bit and have some fun. Cat seems to have missed him . . a lot. But she's not looking for a relationship. She just wants to have some fun. While it lasts. Spidey seems to have loosened up and gone along for the ride . . literally. I wonder when we're going to find out what MJ thinks about all of this? Great book. This is the kind of Spider-issue I like. Maybe we'll get back to it after the clone-saga. Are you ready?
