Fist of teh Internets.
Anyways.....#112 was good. Pretty good. Not really good. But better than average good.
But then again most first issues to a new arc are like that.
Synopsis
So we open with a car chase. The Shocker has a partner or wheelman if you will. For a brief moment it looks as if they're gonna get away with the robbery. But then Spiderman shows up and puts a pause on that idea. Chaos ensues thru the street and in the midst of the trouble Kitty shows up and does her phasy thing thru the car. The car dies and the wheelman hits his head on the steering wheel and gets knocked out.
Kitty and Spidey kinda argue. Cops show up...Spidey leaves. Kitty just stands there with that "ZOMG! U broke mah :heart:!
" look.
We then cut to a scene featuring Demo-She-Wolf-MJ-Goblin. According to Immonen.....she is insanely huge compared to the 7ft tall hairy monster Bagley gave us. We are then lucky to find out that it is merely a dream sequence. MJ is dreaming during class.
She is abruptly woken up and all of a sudden Peter runs into class 15 minutes late. Not even 10 seconds later---before he can get out the doorway---Kitty comes running in. Let the teenage gossip and specualtion run wild. MJ is not pleased by this.
The class finds out that they have fallen victim to the most tried and true cliche high school project-----Carry the Fake Baby For A Week Because It Is Worth Half Your Grade! DUN DUN DUN! The class is paired off. Kitty and Peter are now parents together. DUN DUN DUN!
Meanwhile at Triskelion, Fury is nowhere to be found. Carol Danvers is in charge for the time being. One of the prisoners is getting rowdy. Guess which one it is? Go on.......I'll wait.
Still waiting.
Got it? Good. You guessed it....Osborn. Bendis you sly dog.
Osborn says he's ready to make a deal. The deal Fury promised him. Danvers says no deal. They trade a few mysonginistic quips and part ways.
Bak at High School----MJ and Peter are talking about the awkwardness of the whole assignment pairing. Kitty walks up and interjects herself into the convo. They all agree that it is weird and promise to work past it. Flash walks by and insults Kitty by calling the baby a half-mutie or something. Kong then donkey punches Flash in the back of the head and makes him apologize. Flash does. Kong then apologizes to Kitty for all that. They share a tender moment. Love is in the air. Kitty and Kong walk off talking to each other.
Back at Triskelion, Danvers is running thru the security schedule of the prsioners and all of a sudden they learn that there is a problem in Osborn's cell.
Then a big boom.
To be continued......
So all in all...not a bad issue. There was a few things of note:
-- Kitty and KongBendis possibly getting together.
-- A new and deadlier Shocker.
-- The possible return of Hairy MJ.
-- This is all taking place after the events of U3 for certain since you could see the repair construction of Triskelion as the boom at the end.
So yeah....
3.5/5 ---- Nothing great. But still a lot better than before. Mostly because of the shiny new Immonen look.
