A Great Package
This, for any reader's information, was my first Lizard comic and has more in it too, good deal. Spider-Man #1-5, which was referred to, got me on expanding my collection and so on. I really liked this story, it's a little mushy, but the idea behind it is a good one. They needed to do something about Billy, he had to show involvment in his father's "curse" and he got a chance to. I love this Lizard look, it's the best one I've seen. Not like the McFarlane stuff, but it's a nice way to bring The Lizard back into the spotlight. It still bothers me that Billy looks like Johnny Quest and that he looks older now then even the comics after this one! Also, what did Curt turn himself in for and how did he pay for it? Geez, it kinds of lacks a close. Overall, I would of seen this as a last Lizard appearance, but they haven't decided to do that yet. It's a good story and is off that old boring storyline. This is one to add to your collection (plus, it has a poster with Carnage and Venom, sweet!)
If only more stories had this kind of plot to them, I'm kind of a sucker for it. I like Billy and his interaction with his father, which before had been limited to holding his mom, saying he's scared and stuff like that. He grew up a bit, but got younger afterwards, like a second childhood, not a good sign. Plus, a couple from the McFarlane stories return to do colors and letters, giving it a feel of a sequel. Ending is a bit different, much better than the "How can we ever thank you" crap, but it left me wondering what happened after. It's one of the best, even if you aren't one that likes this mushy stuff, the battle scenes are good.
