Here's an issue that's an interesting mash-up of several different stories, mostly lighthearted, and then taking a sudden turn into serious territory at the end.Much of the issue focuses on the Ultimate Spider-Man clone, Spider-Woman, and the aftereffects of her team-up with the Human Torch.
The issue also has some fun with artist David Lafuente's round-headed version of Spidey, and comes up with an interesting (if rather silly) explanation for it. I'm still enjoying his art, although there are a few panels here and there where it gets just a little too cartoonish. But there's a great splash page of Spider-Man in action around the city.
But this issue is mostly setup for the next story, so it's just a slightly above-average outing this time. Of course, this comic usually operates at a higher level, so even an average issue is better than most other comics on the stands.
Grade: B+
