    Nobody's Non-Video Review of the Amazing Spider-Man #592

    So in the last issue, Spider-Man just got back from the Macroverse to find that two months had past on Earth. A lot of things had changed since Spider-Man was gone, and he doesn't know what all of them are. The main one he does know is that J. Jonah Jameson is now Mayor of New York City. Also he has found that while he was gone for two months all of his bills has been paid, but he doesn't know by who. Swinging out of his apparent, it appears a mysterious woman was watching him, possibly the person who paid his bills. Knowing tthat JJJ being Mayor is trouble for Spider-Man, he heads to the Mayors office where he finds that JJJ Sr. Is defending Spider-Man from his son.

    When Spider-Man shows up he tells Jonah he is offering him a truce since nothing else in the past had worked. JJJ refuses and calls in a S.W.A.T team he hired just for stopping Spider-Man. He tells him that he will be hunted 24/7 until he is caught. Peter knowing that is would bug Jameson, decides to not stop being Spider-Man for a few days. So he goes rescuing people non stop, just to get on Jameson's nerves. The S.W.A.T team he has hire has had no luck in capturing Spider-Man and all his deeds.

    Meanwhile, while Spider-Man is saving people out on the docks a group of criminals are making a run for it. Oh of them says he has been shot, so the others sacrifice him, by tie him to the docks so that they can make their escape. While they ride off in a boat the injured criminal says, "That he is only a urban legend." But as he looks up you can see the out line of what looks like the Vulture. This new guy sweeps in on the criminal and appears to maul him to death.

    Back to Spider-Man a boy is about to run out into the street chasing after his ball. Spider-Man swings in and saves him just in time, and the boy imforms him that he "reeks". Realizing that he hadn't bathed in three days and hadn't eaten since yesturday he goes to Aunt May's house since she is supposed to be working at F.E.A.S.T. Taking of his uniform he throws it in in the wash. Peter thinks he hears his stomach grumbling but then realizes that it was not his stomach, but coming from Aunt May's room. Checking to see what the noise is, Peter opens the door and walks in on J. Jonah Jameson Sr. and Aunt May!

    So I found this to be a fun issue, some major plot changes for Spider-Man. The writing was fun, and the art pretty good too. I can tell that this issue is just to lead into something much bigger.

    Highlights:

    • Mayor Jameson - With Jameson in charge of New York City, he has hired a special S.W.A.T team just to track down Spider-Man 24/7. This could be a major problem for Spider-Man in the future if they show up at the wrong time during and important battle.
    • Vulture - So the new guy is obviously the New Vulture. We know this cause at the end of the last issue they said there would be a new Vulture. But who is this new guy or gal? Why are they killing criminals? And is it going to be friend or foe for Spider-Man?
    • Mystery Woman - Who is the mystery woman who was spying on Peter Parker? Was she the one paying his bills while he was gone? Why would she do that? And does she know that he is Spider-Man? I have a feeling she might turn out to be this new Vulture.
    • Aunt May - EWWWWW! Ok in al seriousness this could be huge for Peter Parker! I mean he walked in on Aunt May and JJJ Sr. How is this going to effect him mentally? If Aunt May and JJJ Sr. got married, that would make Jolly Jonah and Peter Parker related! Not only that they would be close to brothers! This could be major for Peter Parker.
