“Wanted for Murder: Spider-Man!”
We open with JJJ going nuts about Spider-Man killing his son. He ends his conversation with Robbie by firing Parker. Robbie still hires Peter as photographer at the Egypt exhibition and he decides to ask MJ to go there on a date with him.
While web-swinging Spidey saves an old lady and a speeding driver from crashing into a wall. They appear frightened of him due to the Bugle’s headline “Spider-Man Killer”.
Meanwhile JJJ visits Spencer Smythe who has built mechanical Spider Slayer’s in the past in an attempt to destroy Spider-Man. Unfortunately this has exposed Spencer to radioactive materials and he is dying. When Jonah walks in he sees it as an opportunity to destroy both Spidey and Jonah.
Smythe shows Jonah Spider Slayer V and then he tricks Jameson by handcuffing him. The Spider Slayer V captures Spidey and he wakes up handcuffed to Jonah.
Rating: 8/10
Great to see JJJ’s blood boiling!! He is very entertaining. Very nice artwork.
