Highlights

  • Reference is made to Giant-Size Spider-Man 5, and The Amazing Spider-Man 135

  • Peter learns that Gwen is a clone
  • Jackal reveals that he created the Gwen clone

Low Points
  • Odd comedic moments take you out of the flow of the story (see below)
Oddities
  • Tarantula is able to craft two spike tipped shoes while in prison, using the prison's grinders, but no guards ever bothered to check in on this?
