Nine weeks and a walk up and we are done! In Spider-Man 68, Blood Brothers part 3, just in case we didn’t hammer home how cool Cell-12 are: John Romita Jr has his work cut out for him! Over in Spectacular Spider-Man 234, it looks like making a deal with a mystery man named GAUNT isn’t all it’s cracked up to be Over in Jonah Hex 59, we are introduced to a more problematic, but equally as mysterious antagonist And new artist Brian Stelfreeze gives us some interesting sound effects in Jonah Hex 60 If you want to help the show, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, Spotify Player FM, TuneIn, Beyond Pod, Castbox or Amazon Music and leave a comment.

I wanna compliment myself how nicely these two cover images lined up. First, in Jonah Hex 57, which the cover would get us cancelled, has Jonah gained super powers? Then, in Jonah Hex 58, looks like Hex is trying to keep his facial legacy alive! As we wind down the Spider-Clone Saga, first in Sensational Spider-Man 4, Blood Brothers part 1, it seems as though Ben’s life is starting to take a turn for the worse! Then, in what I’m sure is completely unrelated, in Amazing Spider-Man 411, Seward Trainer, recently freed from cyberspace, is helping a nefarious looking character with something…nefarious?

Tying up loose ends for the Spider-Clone Saga, here in Spectacular Spider-Man 232, we attempt to wrap up the Seward Trainer/Lady Doc Ock stuff, my question, though is why last issue she wasn’t wearing a wig to cover up her very noticeable purple hair? And a biggie from Jonah Hex this week, the hardcover original graphic novel, No Way Back, set to be on shelves next to the Jonah Hex movie (shudder) and featuring tons of scantily clad ladies and violence!

As we head towards the end of this project, I feel as though Jonah Hex is getting more and more violent, take this panel from issue 55: Now, don’t let that Darwyne Cooke cover mislead, he does not draw issue 56 of Jonah Hex, but Phil Winslade is no slouch himself: Over in Amazing Spider-Man 409, a rare newly introduced villain from this run that sticks (pun intended) around longer than the one to four issue run their featured in And lastly, kudos to John Romita Jr and Kevin Tinsley, the colorist, because, MAN does Kaine look cool here is Spider-Man 66 If you want to help the show, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, Spotify Player FM, TuneIn, Beyond Pod, Castbox or Amazon Music and leave a comment.

After a month of giving you a feel for each different Spidey book, what better way to shake that up than do a multi issue crossover, first in Spectacular Spider-Man 231, look who’s back! As our story rolls on, in Sensational Spider-Man 2, just when you thought we were done with this clone nonsense Two issues of Jonah Hex this week, first in issue 53, Billy Tucci draws a very pretty Jonah Then, in issue 54, I have a feeling we may have a bit of double entendre going throughout out this one, a rarity for Jonah Hex!

Then, over in Spectacular Spider-Man #228, part one of Time Bomb hopefully returns things back to normal Maybe this is a dream or just an imaginary tale?

While I may have had some issues with John Romita Jr.’s art in this series, I do love the way he draws pre-costume Kaine, like here in Spider-Man the Lost Years #2 And here, in Spider-Man the Lost Years #3, the moment of truth, the impetus for the whole trial of Peter Parker!

I’m glad I called an audible this week! So, even though I moved a book up in the order, the first offering, the Jackal Files, features at least four pages of actual story, the rest of the issue is filled with stuff like this: So, we get Spider-Man the Lost Years #1, featuring an early encounter between Ben and Kaine, looking coll as hell And over in Jonah Hex 334, new artist Mark Spacacio brings an interesting, almost pretty take on our favorite outlaw If you want to help the show, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, Spotify Player FM, TuneIn, Overcast, Beyond Pod or Castbox and leave a comment.
