This book seems to be with the times the imagination line was intresting

Kaine and Layton work well together as a mismatched anti-hero/cop team. This issue has some of the best dialogue yet. The action flows nicely, even though I miss Stegman. My only real complaint is the spoilers:

Kaine can now talk to spiders

end of spoilers deus ex machina.

But all in all, still an A+ in my book!

He's been able to do that since Spider Island hasn't he?

Great issue, only I, unlike most, did not like the art too much. Kaine looked too skinny, and his arms looked disproportionally tiny in some frames. I guess I'm just going to really miss Stegman on this.

Well, I guess that's what happens when you murder your girlfriend - she had it coming, admittedly, but still...

Also: Peter had the ability to talk to spiders after his rebirth at the hands of the Queen in her introductory arc, but apparently doesn't have it anymore. Kaine seems to have acquired it as well.

How come Daisy Johnson is Director of SHIELD and Nick Fury is black in 616? What did I've missed?

I hate him. So much.

I'm largely ambivalent to him. I will give Marvel credit for how they introduced him without erasing the adventures of the original Fury.

Welp...it was okay. I love how the cover and the main plot is the bomb but the bomb isn't even an issue. Kind of silly really. Kind of why i didn't recommend it in my reviews. Oh well.

but...Kaine did find the bomb and ripped the wires out. the bomb was in the book

I"m not saying it wasn't. I'm just saying it didn't seem to be the main point. First off he stopped it so easily it was silly, and second that wasn't the biggest moment. It was one panel. The spiders and iron man got more play.

The whole plot was to find the bomb
