Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 86

     

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 86
Release Date: July 1970

Highlights

• Black Widow makes her first appearance in a Spider-Man title, and debuts her all new costume
• Peter thinks he's losing his Spider-Man powers, and even draws his own blood to check it under a microscope, and that's where the cliffhanger ending leaves you on the edge of your seat
  

Low Points

• Black Widow's appearance is nothing more than a comic length advertisement for her own appearance in the upcoming Amazing Tales title
  

Oddities

• Black Widow attacks Spider-Man for no other reason than she wants to find out about his powers and copy them - Um...Can you just ask? Nobody in the Marvel Universe uses their big boy words
