Now THIS is what an anthology title is supposed to be about! Big Wheel joins “Vil-Anon,” a 12-step program for D-list villains, and makes amends by following Spider-Man around to help him defeat Stilt-Man and Shocker.
A ton of other villains appear that we haven’t seen in a long time, as Gage and McKone pay tribute to the zany side of Spidey’s rogue’s gallery.
Sadly, this is only half-a-comic long. I would’ve dug a whole miniseries.
But story #2 is good, too! It’s more serious and touching: Spider-Man helps a kid deal with the loss of his parents by introducing him to a bunch of people who share the same loss and became heroes.
Why can’t ever issue of SU have this kind of care and quality?
