“Back to some good stuff here!
One of the few Spider-Man comics that isn’t based around Peter Parker being miserable.
Two villains feature heavily in this one, a Hobgoblin and Alestair Smythe.
Hobgoblin is the kind of bad guy I enjoy. He has actual plans and reasons for being a bad guy. Those reasons are very stupid on his part, but they make a sort of sense, at least. He’s not just putting on a weird glove and then saying, “Finally I’ll catch that wretched wall-crawler in a web of my own making!” while standing in a dockside warehouse somewhere.
Hey guys? If you own a dockside warehouse, I’d advise you check it out every so often. Because there’s probably someone who has installed a handprint security pad that opens up a hatch into a lair of some sort.
Alestair Smythe is also back. Has there ever been a more evil sounding name than that? Alestair. Smythe. His middle name must be something like Villainington.”
