Amazing Spider-man #225 by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr.Another good issue by this creative team. Although not quite as good as the previous issue featuring the vulture this story still was very enjoyable.
If I was trying to pick any faults, it would only be that yet again, somebody in Pete's life turns out to have super powers. But that's dramatic license I suppose.
I also had a little trouble believing the Foolkiller's motivations - but he was mad.
Still an excellent Spidey tale and a great cover! Rating 8/10
Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-man #63 by Bill Mantlo and Greg Larocque
Speaking of people in Pete's life with super powers, this issue had a number of examples! First there's Harry Osbourn, who's Dad was the original Green Goblin and had previously taken the role himself. Next there's Liz Allen, her step brother is Mark Raxton, the Molten Man.
Now I've always been partial to a Molten Man story as he featured in some of the first Spidey stories that I ever read. But this one wasn't a classic.In fact it was a bit of a re-hash of the last few MM stories which featured in Amazing (#173 was the latest).
I wasn't really satisfied with the way MM was defeated but it was nice to see Harry and Liz get a happy ending for once (even if their house burned down).
Rating 6./10
