Highlights

First appearance of the Manfredi Family, Silvermane, Man Mountain Marko and Caesar Cicero

Low Points

How much longer is this tablet story going to be drawn out? I really hope the payoff is worth the wait
The drawing of the airplane on page four. You have to see it for yourself
Too inconsistent in drawing - The tablet, for example, changes shape and size from panel to panel

Oddities

Spider-Man makes an uninvited appearance through Captain Stacy's bedroom window. After the man chastises our hero for "breaking into his home," Spidey apologize, to which Captain Stacy basically says, "Aright then."
Spider-Man makes a joke about how expensive the chair Man Mountain Marko just ripped in half will be to replace while he himself his bursting through the glass pane of a window
