Written by J. Michael Strazynski, pencils and cover by Tommy Lee Edwards.
With military policeman Ben Parker killed during the assassination of Dr. Abraham Erskine (the developer of the Super Soldier serum), Peter Parker has become a disenchanted teen, angry at the world. After he wanders in front of the path of a gamma bomb test, how dangerous does the combination of a lonely, angry boy and the lethal power of a rampaging Hulk-ish monster become? Steve Rogers, the WWII hero known as Iron Man, is about to find out.
BONUS REVIEW by DAL BUSH
It's great to see Straczynski settle into a routine with this book so quickly. Most writers would wait a few more issues to abandon shocking, unpredictable story ideas for basic a-to-b-to-c connect the dots plotting, but not JMS! He's telling EXACTLY the story you saw in your head at the end of #1, so there's no fear of being surprised or unsettled as you read this issue. Perfect with a glass of warm milk to help you drift off to sleep. 5 Grahams
