Yes, I know this should have been up yesterday, but I got distracted. Also this will be the last review of 2010 because I had a short pull list.
So broke was Aunt May that month that Peter decided to try out for Chippendale's.
Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man Vol. 2 #9
(and now I can call it Volume 2 since Marvel has started to in solicitations)
WRITER: Paul Tobin PENCILER: Matteo Lolli INKER: Terry Pallot COLORS: Sotocolor LETTERER: Dave Sharpe COVER: Patrick Scherberger & Edgar Delgado PRODUCTION: Mayela Gutierrez ASSISTANT EDITOR: Michael Horwitz EDITORS: Jordan D. White & Nathan Cosby SENIOR EDITOR: Mark Panicca I think we’re out of editors
Peter tries out a new identity, Agent Nine, but that doesn’t go over well. Then he teams with Wolverine to stop the Vulture’s attacks on mob money carriers that could start a mob war. Meanwhile, Chat gets Emma a job at the detective agency.
What they got right: Continuing the sub-plot of Peter trying out new identities is better than some of the junk in the main title (which granted I’m biased against for external reasons (OMD)).
What they got wrong: Wolverine again? Really? Just give Tobin the “Marvel Adventures: Wolverine” he wants so we can get my least favorite mutant out of this book for more than two issues?
Recommendation: Not the strongest issue, but good enough if you’ve been following all this time.
Officially New York's dumbest criminal. This week.
Up Next: Best Scene of the Week in Sunday’s Weekly Wrap-Up. And having a Happy New Year.
