The Pulse:
An action-packed issue, but the promise of the main cover and solicit do not come to pass. Although, I suspect what happened between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson will be explained at some point. Nonetheless, the Tombstone play in the issue was intriguing as is Spider-Man’s efforts that place him in the middle of the gang war. The art works for this issue due to its dark overtones story-wise. 7.5 out of 10.
