This was an interesting issue. It appears that something is going around Manhattan and taking out some of the 'old' key players. And they're doing major damage in the process. So far this issue it's gone after Roxxon . . which is witnessed by Pete's female clone, Spider-woman, Jessica Drew . . Reed Richards and his family . . his paternal family, not the FF since they're no longer together . . Sue Richards and the Baxter Building, and finally Nick Fury. We don't know exactly who it is yet, but it appears to be some kind of golem type of creature, with energy blasting powers. It also appears to be able to adjust it's shape, size and mass. When it takes out Roxxon and the Baxter building it pretty much envelopes the whole site. And it looks like a giant octopus, or amoeba as it attacks. However, when it confronts Nick it takes on a more human form. As he blows up the building and the street around him, he tells Nick, 'You have no one to blame but yourself, Nick Fury.' Also, he knew who, and where, Nick was even though he was in disguise. Even looking through the previews of this 4 issue series . . chapter 1, by the way . . I still have no clues as to who this may be. So far though . . besides attacking Roxxon, it seems to be after the former members of the FF. Well . . and Nick Fury. So I imagine it's only a matter of time until Peter is drawn into this as Johnny Storm is staying with him at Aunt May's now. This seems to be another shake-up for this line of comics by creator Brian Bendis. Ultimatum wasn't enough? Now they have to go through this also? I'm not sure where this story is going, but . . it looks to be an interesting ride. I really enjoyed the whole book, and I thought Rafa Sandoval did a terrific job on the art. I can't wait to see what happens next.
