Highlights

  • Mongoose stands in a dark hotel room, a room which he hasn't left in a few months, waiting for his prey, who he says has just returned to the city
  • Reference is made to The Mighty Thor 351, and The Amazing Spider-Man 283
  • Thor returns to Earth, and though he plans to return to the building he used to live in, he finds it's been torn down
  • Thor resumes his Earthly identity of Siguard Jarlson, and finds his friend Jerry Saprisiti, who gives him a job working construction with him
  • Despite being halfway built, Aloysius R. Jamesly tells the construction workers that it doesn't meet with his vision, so they should tear it down, and start over
  • Mongoose attacks Siguard, and knocks him off the building, luckily Spider-Man is swinging by, and catches him
  • As Spider-Man confronts Mongoose, Siguard runs for Jerry's trailer, retrieves his hammer, and transforms into Thor
  • Thor and Spider-Man tag team Mongoose, but the villain disengages, telling him his master didn't hire a fool
  • As he retreats, Mongoose knocks out the supports of the building under construction, sending it toppling
    • Thor catches the building, and mustering all his strength manages to hold it up as Spider-Man jams girders underneath it
Low Points
  • It's an unnecessary cameo
    • You could pretty much replace Spider-Man with any other hero cameo, and the story would have played out the same
Oddities
  • None
