Spider-Man Family #8 (2008)

The first non-reprint story in this anthology has two kids accidentally remote-activating the old Arsenal robot.  Thinking it’s a video game, they direct it to smash New York City until Spider-Man and Iron Man can stop it.  Kind of a dopey and pointless story with serviceable art.  It felt like an “all ages” story.  We all need stories to read our 8-year-old kids, so I give this one a “C”.

This is followed by a brief Iceman team up by a writer who goes by “Blambot’s Nate Piekos.”  The art is by another one I’ve never heard of, Zach Howard.  It’s also mediocre but it does have a random Thing panel that I liked…

The rest of this overstuffed issue is reprints.
