As dark as things got in "Hunted" and its immediate aftermath, The Amazing Spider-Man could probably do with a little palate cleanser. That's just what this latest story arc has to offer. With an emphasis on C-List villains and goofy plot twists, the series is back to capturing the charm of the short-lived but much-loved Superior Foes of Spider-Man.
Given how much this series has focused on characters like Boomerang and Beetle over the past year, the Superior Foes comparisons are basically inevitable. It's been great to see that, even as writer Nick Spencer has set about crafting the next big chapter in Peter Parker's life, he's also carved out time to continue the ongoing struggles of Janice Lincoln and Fred Myers as well. Like Peter, both these characters have to decide what they want out of life and if they're going to keep being defined by their failures. That all comes to a head for Janice and Fred in this issue as both Kingpin and the new Sinister Syndicate seek vengeance on Boomerang.
