Went down and read it myself today...
Nevermind about working with SHIELD. It might be possible but from the looks of the issue he's workin' for himself. Question is who is his girlfriend? Shall I check the archives to find any marvel heroine with the first name Marlene? Didn't anyone else mention this in the thread? Moon Knight does not seem crazy or schizo at all, thank god.
I don't like how Black Cat is written she's coming off as a huge ditz. I do like how she's not "taking sides" but her feelings for Peter really have no substance. Pete's initial reaction bothered me. I'm sure I have the agreement of all of you since half this site seems obsessed with this comic character. But If we (any of you) were Parker and you were single there's no way in hell that you wouldn't take that right then and there.
I totally agree. The one redeeming aspect of that was that at least when he swung home he pondered Black Cat and considered giving in. So at least he's not a total moron. Still though, I don't care if I had a Presidential Adress to give, some incredibly hot, somewhat older chick is throwing herself at me, you better believe I'm going to show her the extent of my "spider powers".
DeWolff was a great great character. I love her in this book. I don't care if she stays good or bad or who she's working for or if she's straight. But Bendis does an awesome job with her.
Kingpin/Dini/Elektra.... Who could ask for better **** than that.
Strong issue.
4.5/5
Agree with these points. Liked DeWolff's take charge attitude, and it was good to see Dini getting knocked off under Kingpin's orders, especially since he's been Wilson's right hand man for so long (been around since the second arc) but he could no longer be trusted to keep quiet. I'm really interested to see how the last few issues of this arc play out...hopefully Black Cat doesn't "supposedly" get killed off again.

I though more could have been doen with each character. Black Cat, Sheng Chi, Iron Fist, Hammerhead, Moon Knight, Elektra, even Spider-Man. The issue had more potential than what was done, but the way it was done was done well.
I gotta disagree, we already saw plenty of Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, Hammerhead, and Elektra in the earlier issues of the arc, and I'm sure we'll see plenty more before the arc wraps up. Its a heavy cast Bendis is using in this arc, so not every character will get lots of page time without making the title seem like its losing focus. I liked how we got to explore Black Cat's and Peter's relationship (or lack thereof), and it was very cool to see Pete actually consider something with her. Trust me, the last few issues of this arc will be a drag-out, kick-***, gang fight, probably with Spider-Man, Black Cat, Iron Fist, and Shang-Chi on one side, Kingpin, Elektra on another, and Hammerhead and his goons on another. It'll be interesting to say the least. Where Moon Knight will play into this is still up in the air, but I have a feeling he isn't necessarily working for a particular side, just his own goals.
