Amazing Spider-Man #45

Much of Amazing Spider-Man #45, which kicks off a new arc, takes place inside the walls of the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane. We start with Spider-Man sneaking into the cell of Anna Watson to provide her a cure for her insanity. Having helped her, but not able to convince her to leave, Peter returns with Mary Jane to check-in on her improved state and also runs into an old frenemy in the form of the Sandman who has a warning for Spider-Man.

Spidey Super-Stories #32

Spidey Sunday takes us back to the late 70s and the first time Spider-Man met Spider-Woman. The two-part story is a bit bonkers, following the basic formula of a super-hero misunderstanding when Peter and Aunt May arrive in London and Peter discovers a Spider-Woman is on a crime-spree. Suiting up, he tracks down and fights Spider-Woman until he discovers it’s not the same woman committing the crimes, and that an imposter is working for Doc Ock. Teaming up, the pair take down the fake, although Doc Ock gets away (along with any rationale for this bizarre scheme).

Spider-Man - Return of the Spider Slayer

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The show wastes no time in bringing back the Spider Slayers. In an obvious attempt to create (pretty crappy) toys to sell, “Return of the Spider-Slayers” gives us not one, not two, but three different Spider Slayers with the new ones apparently designed off the shittiest run of Transformers ever (they even combine together to… well, do nothing really except make them infinitely easier to beat when stacked on top of each other – even though the bomb’s explosion doesn’t appear to touch the bottom Slayer). In every way, the Slayers are even less impressive a second time around.

As with the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man, this new comic offers an alternate history to Peter Parker‘s life in a separate dimension. Here, 20 years ago, a villain known as the Maker prevented heroes from being born. Peter Parker, now a father and husband, has been offered a chance to reclaim a legacy lost by Tony Stark. Choosing to let himself be bitten, and wearing a suit provided by Stark, Peter Parker has become the not-yet-amazing Spider-Man.
