Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-man # 44
(writer Marv Wolfman, art Steve Leialona & Al Gordon)
For me the cover to this issue is the best thing about it.
I read this issue and issue #45 just before we left to go on holiday last week and they weren't particularly good.
The story features the New York crime lords all of which are trying to fill the role vacated by the Kingpin in Amazing #197. The Vulture (revealed as the villain at the end of the issue) assumes the role and asks the other ganglords to prove their worth by doing tasks for him. It's an OK premise but gangland stories were never my favourite Spidey stories (much better in Daredevil). The main thing that spoilt this is the poor art job - it just looks too rushed.
Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-man #45
(writer Roger Stern, art Marie Severin)
The conclusion to the story is written by Roger Stern and mainly features a long battle between Spidey and the Vulture. The art lets this issue down even more that the previous. It's just too cartoony (if you get my drift).
Not one to recommend. Rating 3/10
