Amazing Spider-Man #660

amazing-spider-man-660-coverAs the Future Foundation battle the Sinister Six on pirate island (or whatever you want to call it) a little misdirection lets other members of the team sneak into the Baxter Building to steal one of Reed Richards‘ pet projects. I’m going to go out on a limb and say whatever use Doc Ock has for whatever he stole isn’t going to be good for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Interesting moments (even if they are borrowed from a lackluster movie plot) as the FF find themselves shifting through each others powers (and Spidey gets a temporary makeover sure to give you nightmares). There’s also a nice scene of the FF showing old Web-Head some love and positive reinforcement after the battle (which, as he says, he’s unaccustomed to).

And, finally, the Carlie Cooper tattoo fiasco in a switcheroo that makes no sense whatsoever and yet is still better than what was shown in last issue with her brilliant idea of branding her body with the image of the man who threw Peter Parker’s first love off a bridge. Worth a look.
