Not too sure about that art -- but otherwise a promising start to the arc, I think.

Thats suppose to be Betty Brant

I thought it was Michelle for sure........It takes alot to put me off of something artistically but this is really not my cup of tea

Nice job with the villians (though it looks like Lizard's back to his old look----and why is he there anyway??

) but his Peter/Betty are U-G-L-Y.....I actually thought it was Michelle at first. Cannot wait for the consistent art team to start.

SHIT man...and I really wanted to see that Sinister 666. But not like this...*shakes head in disappointment*

THAT said, the story reads well!

So is there any question that the guy who is asking alll the villans to retrieve whatever it is (presumably Lilly and her unborn baby) Doc Ock? Seems pretty obvious to me but just thought I'd check with everyone else.

No, I agree, I think that's got to be Ock.

No, that's definitely him. I knew it was gonna be him as soon as Electro said "What happened to his face!?" (Speak for yourself, Dillion

)

But WTF @ Lizard being back to generic one-note self.

what is up with that art?!

**Earmites** · 07-30-2010, 07:56 AM

Yeah the art is too crappy to excited about that issue. Bring on Humberto Ramos already.

**shadowchaser** · 07-30-2010, 07:59 AM

And why is the Lizard back to his old look?? He has the new look given to him just a month ago. How did this slip by the editors?

**Tonyd117** · 07-30-2010, 07:59 AM

The art is awful. That's Betty?! Oh well, its only one more arc until the new artists take over.

And yeah, that's Doc Ock wanting the baby.

Probably for the Goblin Serum in its veins. His promise of cures and "upgrades" made me think he'll use the baby's blood to cure himself and help the others.(A least whomever brings him the baby)
