Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #2

Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #2

Another anthology issue offers three more stories of Spider-Man wearing the black suit which looks terrific in each of the stories presented here. Still new to the suit, in “The Edge of Rage” Spider-Man loses control with Morbius, beating him unconscious, and also later threatening Flash Thompson. We witness his recognition and shame for events but we also see the symbiote’s interest in Peter giving into his darker impulses.

Ultimate Spider-Man #8 offers a birthday party for the Parker family, allowing some normalcy to bleed through in Peter‘s increasingly complicated life, and serious conversations between heroes and villains building out this world of Spider-Man a bit more. As the cover suggests, we do get Iron Lad filling in Spider-Man and the Green Goblin on the state of the world and Spidey’s importance to it. While Stark and Osborne clash, Peter welcomes any help he can get.

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. The three-parter introduces the alien symbiote (here found on the moon by astronauts in search of precious elements), gives us Spider-Man‘s (Christopher Daniel Barnes) run in the costume, and plays out one of the series’ long-running threads in the creation of Venom (Hank Azaria). The arc also gives us a pair of Spidey villains in the Rhino (Don Stark) and the Shocker (Jim Cummings), both working for the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Brown) in retrieving the valuable moon rock which J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) wrongly believes Spider-Man stole.
