He’s a hoot, making Jon and Lex both look the fool enough times to have his foot end up in his own mouth. I can’t wait for the first real throw down between the super sons, where Damion has to decide that if there’s even a 1% chance that Jon might turn evil that he has to take is as an absolute certitude to stop him. I sure hope Jon’s mom’s name is secretly Talia ‘Lois’ Lane.

Content wise, this is no better or worse than an average issue of ASM (at least for the main story). \u00a0Art wise, having Stuart Immonen back on a spider book is a cause for joy. \u00a0You may not remember, but he took over for Mark Bagley on Ultimate Spider-Man when Bagley’s amazingly long run ended. \u00a0I like Bagley-going back to the Marvel Try Out Book pages- he’s got a great emotional feel for faces, his layouts are clear, and his pencils are consistent enough to basically look the same under any inker. Its a rare talent these days. \u00a0When I tell you the Immonen issues were the best of any of the USM until Sara Pichelli came on, I hope that gives some context for what I’m talking about here.<br><br> \u00a0That’s the best of the issue. \u00a0The worst is the 9.99 price tag. \u00a0There a whole gaggle of stories here. \u00a0Dan Slott is on the record somewhere saying that none of it is intended to be filler. \u00a0He’s a liar at least twice over, as there are a Tsum Tsum story and a ‘Pete gets a pet’ story.
\nHe’s also gone on record saying that the final story will be huge moving forward in ASM and Secret Empire. \u00a0That checks out as ‘true’ at Politifact, the superior fact checking site. \u00a0I can see \u00a0skipping this issue for the price, but not w\/ the content running first and last.

Bendis’ run on GOTG is coming to an end. \u00a0That’s a good thing. \u00a0This is another single character story after the team is trapped and separated on Earth. Here we get Angela. She fights a guy. \u00a0The guy is powerful. \u00a0He has information that presented clearly would have left the last 4 pages for additional story OR ads. \u00a0The ads might have been better. \u00a0The best thing about the issue is Valerio Schiti’s art. \u00a0It seems to have some Joe Quesada seeping into it. \u00a0It reminded me of the Daredevil work he did w\/ Jimmy Palmiotti. \u00a0Surprising to see that here, but Angela lends herself to that art style. \u00a0It might be a stylistic choice for this character, but it worked. \u00a0Look for a big ‘JAM!’ issue to come along and send this series out with a whimper next month.<\/p>\n

I’m sure its a coincidence that Super Sons has the hero boys tracking down a villain boy. There’s just no way that could be a metaphor to show what could happen with great power and a responsibility to put dad’s head through an air conditioner.<\/p>\n
