We really need a Spidey board.

That was the spoiler space..."
Wow, an issue by Straczynski that didn't suck.
Now, aside from the fact that:
a) as anyone who has seen an autopsy knows, it is very easy to tell the difference between someone being cut open and desecrated from the outside and something cutting its way out from the inside
b) Tony Stark doesn't recognise something as simple as the fact that if there is a smashed window and there is no glass inside, the window was smashed FROM the inside
c) Jarvis' dialogue had a definite neo-BENDIS! sense about it
... the issue was kinda cool. Especially the schoolteacher referring to 'redback' spiders instead of 'black widow' spiders (I only learned a few weeks ago that they were the same; in Australia we ONLY call them redbacks. We even have a song about them
).
So... JMS not sucking. Who'da thought? Maybe Mark Millar might write a semi-decent issue one day!

When I went there last night.
I didn't see it in the dark
But lord I felt its bite!
