Overview
Story 1:
“Power Without Responsibility!”
Story & Art: Howard Mackie / John Romita Jr / Scott Hanna
Peter Parker is taking pics of a new Spider-Man in action against some men in iron suits who attempt to free a criminal known as The Ranger. They succeed.
Peter and Jill go to the airport to pick up MJ who is coming home from a fashion shoot. Senator Ward also arrives and The Ranger confronts him. The Ranger himself is then confronted by the new Spider-Man.
The Ranger subdues Spider-Man and the secret service agents protecting Senator Ward. The on-looking Peter Parker, battling his own inner demons, weighs up whether or not he should become involved.
He gets involved just as The Ranger is about to strike Senator Ward. This gives Spider-Man the chance to subdue The Ranger.
Story 2:
“Memories”
Story & Art: Howard Mackie / Andy Smith / Brad Vancata
Quaint little story reinforcing the strong bond that Peter shared with his Uncle Ben.
Rating: 5/10
I am not a big fan of JRJR’s artwork .. he gets the job done but it’s just not my taste.
