Spider-man escapes from prison with his roommate, Vin
Gonzales. But Menace attacks again, wanting to exact vengeance on the police
officers that framed her best friend Carly. This time it’s up to Harry Osborn
to save the day. But will Harry Osborne give in to his addictions to be the Green
Goblin again
This issue was rushed and it’s easy to see in the large
panels used by Romita in latter pages. Tom Palmer, a good inker takes over
these pages, but it’s quite easy to see the difference with Janson. Although
Romita’s style stays the same, the width of the inked line is vastly different
and causes some weirdness overall.
As for the plot, it too was rushed, but it was
good enough and good wrap up of a long storyline. The ending with Menace and
Norman Osborn is particularly interesting.
