Highlights

  • First appearance of S.U.L.T.A.N. (systematic ultimate lawless takeover of all nations), and Biotron Constructs
  • First appearance of the location S.U.L.T.A.N.'s Floating/Detachable Island
  • John Beatty and Mike Zeck at the help of Captain America - I may have to check out more issues
  • I learned from this issue that Steve Rogers works as a struggling artist - I never knew that about the character
  • Peter Parker sees Steve Rogers get pulled into an alley by a bunch of punks, and quickly reacts thinking he needs to help the poor citizen in trouble
  • Peter sees Steve beating the stuffing out of the punks, and quickly snaps pictures, thinking this is the story J. Jonah Jameson has wanted for a long time - an average citizen standing up to crime
  • Steve Rogers demands the film from Peter Parker after the fighting is over
  • Puns...Spider-Man follows Steve back to his home, and says, "There's my plainclothes avenger now!"
  • The Biotron Constructs can rebuild themselves from the parts of their fallen counterparts
  • Spider-Man swings himself and Captain America up and out of the mountaintop, thinking they'll be able to hit the water, and swim away - There's only one problem, the mountain has thrusters built into it, and it's launched into the sky
Low Points
  • S.U.L.T.A.N.'s name is really dumb...well, when spelled out for what it stands for
Oddities
  • S.U.L.T.A.N. built a giant metal wall in the middle of the highway, using it to stop Nick Fury and Spider-Man from driving any further - Um...What about the other drivers on the road?
  • Nick Fury tells Spidey that the plan is to surrender quietly, and then attack when they're brought to where Captain America is - except he says this secret plan right in front of the Biotron Constructs
  • S.U.L.A.T.A.N.'s taken Captain America as a prisoner, but left him with his shield?
  • Wait...how does a mountain have thrusters built into it?
