Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 106
Release Date: September 1985

Highlights

  • First appearance of Dirk, Daphne, and Granetti's henchmen, Chester, and Jackson
  • Janet tells Spider-Man that they can't protect all of NEVELL their entire lives - Then quickly corrects herself, and says that even if they could, she won't
  • Spider-Man heads to the dock to stop Granetti's men, but it's a ruse - The crates only have grapefruits in them
  • Before the fight, Spider-Man tells two kids to break up their date, and head home - They don't listen, and the boy gets shot
  • Spider-Man races the wounded kid to the hospital, while Paladin follows suit with his uninjured date on foot
  • Wasp heads to the airport to stop Granetti's second wave of men, but this too is a ruse - The teddy bears are stuffed full of plain sugar
Low Points
  • Spider-Man heads to Avenger's headquarters, and proceeds to act like a baby throwing a temper tantrum because Janet, AKA Wasp, hasn't come come since their run in with Paladin last issue
  • I don't understand why people tout Peter David's era of Spider-Man to be so great - I haven't read one yet that's wowed me
Oddities
  • None
