I hated this run back when it was being published. And yet in hindsight this issue shows a competency that I don't think I've seen in Spider-Man comics (and even some other Marvel comics) in a long time now.

from what I understand they're just trying to do "new/different" things. whether those things are good plots is another story

I have high hopes for the new volume of specatcular spider man street level pete is where its at

>>94939118
Scott Hanna is actually keeping Byrne's linework from being a sloppy mess. Good on him, this is Byrne's best stuff I've seen since, maybe She-Hulk/Namor?

And I dont think it was ever clarified what the hell scorpions deal was, who he worked for, or why they were after Peter.

I think that was my problem with Mackie's tenure. Mystery after mystery that never got resolved.

>>94939561
whatever happened to Jill Stacy anyway?

also i think you're gonna run into a problem considering half of these storylines cross over into the Peter Parker comics

>>94939720
Dropped off the face of the Earth after her romantic subplot with Peter was canned when MJ came back.

>>94939824
I forgot she had that suit to hide the female body

also so glad we get to keep in all the baggage of the GATHERING OF THE FIVE nonsense

>>94940058
>why are you telling me everything I already know?

>>94939983
>Maddie

Did they say her name in another book?

>>94940089
I dont remember
maybe Peter knew which five characters partook in the Gathering of the Five?

my question is how did Pete not know she was a girl when she speaks when fighting scorpion in front of him

>>94939941
>I forgot she had that suit to hide the female body

I wonder if Bendis got the idea for Echo-as-Ronin from here.

>>94940154
How did Scorpion not know?

>>94939264
It's insane because back when this was getting published it started making me look more fondly at the Clone Saga. And now here we are.

I dread the future.

>>94940213
What the hell is up with Iceman's speech balloons?

>>94940154

>>94940239
It was back when they were trying to do distinguishing speech bubbles and fonts for characters.

>>94940397

Is it bad that this was the storyline that got me to start reading spidermen?

Died on the way to her home planet.
She could've had a chance to be an interesting character, but she was a nuisance plot device.

That she hit on Peter while he was on denial from MJ's "death"/trying to find his wife didn't do her any favors.

>>94941598
Pity
she was cute

Aunt May really should have put 2 and 2 together with Peter running away from her pretty much every day of his life

Why is it that of all the solid, punch clock, workhorse writers Jurgens gets the most heat? The industry's full of "good-but-not-great" writers, but Jurgens is the guy who always takes it on the chin. Is it The Death of Superman?

This isn't comfy. THIS IS PAIN!

>>94943579
Thanks, OP. I ought to read the clone saga aftermath someday.

>>94941375

Bryne hated Sandman as a hero because he was on the Most Wanted list once in the MU so Bryne thought that meant he had to be EVIL again.

>>94940862

And they were never seen again.

>>94941015

>"The probes alone give me nightmares for weeks!"
>"Annual physical exam"
>"It seems to keep him humble"

Is this going where I think it is?

If so, what is wrong with Byrne?

>>94941384

In the late 1980s, Byrne broke the Vision and the Scarlet Witch in just a few issues, and almost every subsequent Avengers writer just accepted it. Anyone who seemed to want to fix them never stuck around to finish the job.

In the late 1990s, Byrne broke the Sandman, and every Spider-Man writer to follow him just accepted that he's a villain and never even tried to undo it.

We're lucky that Byrne ragequit Marvel around 2001 when they cancelled X-Men Hidden Years, or he'd have probably ruined someone else by now, and once again, no-one would dare fix it.
