The book opens with Queen Goblin…
…sprung on NYC by the Beyond Corporation.
We then pivot to the end of last issue with Mary Jane Watson in peril and…
…the revelation of Queen Goblin’s “goblin gaze” power.
However, before we can see the gaze in action, MJ breaks her gaze…
…with Black Cat coming to her aid, but being overmatched.
With the Black Cat we see the goblin gaze in action…
…leading to the mental nudge for Black Cat to commit suicide which is averted by Peter Parker not Ben Reilly.
MJ gives him his costume and we’re off to the races.
The story continues in Amazing Spider-Man #90 in stores on February 23, 2022.
The Pulse:
I am intrigued by what will come of Ben Reilly as Peter Parker comes back to the fore. Also would like to see Queen Goblin interact with a classic Goblin villain in this arc or elsewhere. Solid art. 8 out of 10.
