Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 277
Release Date: June 1986
Highlights
- In the wake of Flash Thompson's arrest, framed by Hobgoblin to take a fall, Peter wants to doubt the fact, but struggles with it
- Reference is made to Daredevil 227, and 228
- Matt Murdock calls Peter at home, and asks him for help
- For those not reading Daredevil, we learn that Kingpin has discovered that Matt is the hero, and used his power to disbar him, turn the IRS on him, frozen his assets, and blown up his home
- Matt worries that Kingpin might know Peter is Spider-Man
- Matt makes Peter promise that he won't go after Kingpin, and instead will leave it to Daredevil to deal with it
- Despite his promise, Spider-Man does the opposite, and confronts Kingpin
- Kingpin mocks Spider-Man, informing him that he has no evidence, and that as a hero, as long as he, the Kingpin, makes no move of attack Spider-Man won't strike first
- Conceding to the stalemate, Spider-Man leaves, but not before webbing Kingpin to his chair as a petty victory which Kingpin acknowledges annoys him
- The issue is split into two separate stories, but the second story acknowledges the events of the previous one
- Spider-Man chases after some kidnappers, causing their vehicle to wreck in the deep snow
- As Spider-Man carries the child away, he acknowledges that he needs to rest from being thrown from the roof of the vehicle
- The little girl pleads with him not to rest because it will draw out the wendigo
- The kidnapper's catch up, but are taken out by Spider-Man
- As he leads the girl to safety, the wendigo takes his victims, the kidnappers
- Spider-Man returns the little girl to her family, neither of them aware of the horrors that occurred in their absence to the kidnappers
- First story is relatively short and pointless
- Second story is a horror story disguised as a Spider-Man backup story, and equally pointless
- Whole issue feels like a series of throw away events
Oddities
- Mary Jane bursts into Peter's apartment, and leaving the door wide open begins to should about how he's Spider-Man
