Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 189

  

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 189
Release Date: February 1979

Highlights

• Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 18, 187, and 188
• Last issue I learned J. Jonah Jameson's wife was dead, now I know her name, Joan - Seriously, did I miss this for over 100 issues, or is this the first time all of this has been mentioned?
• A mysterious mummy? Who is it - Man-Wolf, AKA John Jameson
• A mysterious mastermind behind it all? Who is that? - TBD

Low Points

• Peter chokes Doctor Tompkins for saying that he bets Peter is relieved knowing he'll never have to see his Aunt May again
• Betty Brant throws herself at Peter Parker - Remember, she's still married to Ned Leeds, who she ditched abroad

Oddities

• They're transferring Aunt May to a nursing home from the hospital on a gurney? Doesn't seem like she's well enough to be out of the hospital at that rate
• I haven't mentioned this before, but a lot of unknown people in the Spider-Man universe have pigeon coups on their roofs - What's that all about?
