BEST OF THE STACK - SPIDERMAN #600

It's been quite a whiles since anything happened here. I've been busy and running around with not much time/gumption to write about comics. Reading them, sure. But writing about them hasn't been top priority. But I hear rumblings from the bullpen of slackers at TUN that some sweet posts are set to appear in the very near future. I look forward to seeing that a reality. I break the silence now!

This past week was an easy-peasy BoTS because Spiderman #600 ruled faces. The thing was a brick of a book containing easily a month's worth of story plus a pile of back 'em up shorts. And, Doc Ock finally made his post OMD appearance. The guy has been sneaking around off panel for a while now, but no more. He's a bit banged up and ready to die, but that just means he's now an irradiated creepy crawly mummy machine with mechanical tentacles. Snap. Oh and he has an army of mechanical spiders that end up taking over NYC. Classic, action packed, fun comic.

Romita Jr. on art, a Ross cover, a Romita Sr. cover, an FF appearance. Hell, this thing was dope. Plus there was a Stan Lee/ Marcos Martin short in there. Gah. This coming week has a lot to live up to...
