Peter Parker: Spider-Man #31:
Summary: Some villain with a grudge against Spider-Man named Fusion managed to beat up on Spidey last issue and then blow up a building, killing 300 people. The next day Fusion demands to face Spidey again via a video to the media, leaving some cryptic hints, hints that tell Spidey who Fusion was and why he hated Spidey so... After some research, Spidey discovers that Fusion's 9 year old son died trying to emulate Spidey's web-swinging, so Spidey heads to the warehouse where the boy died, and sure enough finds Fusion waiting. It seems Fusion has just about every super-power under the sun(seriously!), AND can manage to fool Spidey's spider-sense. Spidey makes a gallant stand against Fusion, but is ultimately caught with a massive punch from Fusion which breaks Spidey's neck, ending this issue.
Thoughts: Huh, you know, I remember NOTHING about this comic! I mean I KNOW I read it because it's filed away in my comic collection and all, but I can't recall a thing about the way the story ends... Anyway, it's always kind of hard to have a lot of thoughts on a comic that's in the middle of a three part story... I didn't remember the events of PP:SM #30, nor do I remember the events of PP:SM#32, so I can only base my score on this one issue and not the storyline as a whole(which actually seems pretty good...). As a single issue, this comic wasn't that bad. It wasn't great, but it was a good, satisfying read. It was good enough to make me pull out the issues before and after this comic just to see how it ends, so you can't get much better than that I'd say!
Score: 7 1/2 out of 10.
What do you do? If you're me you curl into a ball and cry probably... I'd be a terrible hero...
