    The Big Red One

    This is a pretty mediocre issue in every way imaginable. It introduces an obnoxious dull pseudo-villain, the teen jock/jerk "Red 9," who inexplicably is cruising around with a tech suit he can barely handle, throw in a paper thin plot about Spidey doing his best to prove to the state of NY that a cantankerous old man declared by the state to be dead, is in fact alive and about to be made homeless by the clerical error. The art is ok, but this is the epitome of a bad "filler" issue. I love "camp" and cheesy stuff as much as the next guy, but this doesn't even extend into "so bad it's good" territory. It's simply uninteresting and I seriously doubt that readers will encounter anything even remotely memorable here. Skip this one, folks.
