Avenging Spider-Man #7

avenging-spider-man-7-coverThis comic was a hell of a lot of fun. I haven’t been picking up Marvel’s new version of Marvel Team-Up featuring Spider-Man and a current and former Avenger co-stars but the pair of Spidey and She-Hulk in this issue was too good to pass up.

After the pair take down a giant sewer monster Spidey follows She-Hulk to the Egyptian Exhibit of a local museum hoping for a free meal and some nerdy fun. When he sees some mysterious hooded figures entering the museum the wall-crawler springs into action. And that’s where the fun really begins.

The story has to do with a mystical cat statue, a cult of cat worshipers, and Bastet (the goddess of cats). It also includes She-Hulk growing a tail and Spidey putting on a cow’s head and impersonating a god. Yeah, you gotta pick this one up.

She-Hulk has been far underused in the Marvel Universe of late and any time she’s game to show for another issue here I’ll be sure to pick it up. Must-read.
