This book proves to be awesome just by looking at it with its awesome Simone Bianchi cover and it just continues to be awesome as you turn the pages. The gauntlet has been okay so far, nothing spectacular and I think its because they tend to drag the story on for too many issues; two issues for electro, sandman and mysterio. The stories I have liked the best so far are the one with morbius in this issue and the one with Rhino back in issue 617. Anyways, back to this issue. I thought they did a great job setting up this story and tying it into the overlying story with Mr. Negative. The best thing is that the Mr. Negative story line wasnt overly intrusive like it has been in these past gauntlet issues (which I thought took away from the story line, as well as prolonged the conclusion of some of the other gauntlet opponents). Another reason why I think I enjoyed this issue, is because Morius has kind of reformed himself as a criminal and is trying to turn his life around just like Rhino had been trying to do as well in his issue. Also, it was pretty funny when it had Peter dressed up as a "Vampire" going into the the vampire kid hang out place. Kinda made me think of the horrible emo Peter Parker from Spiderman 3 and then it got me thinking about how much I loathe that movie.
