I
borrowed this book from my local library.
All
of the dangling subplots from the last three volumes are beginning to
wrap up. Like one of Dan Slott's long-winded, virtue-signaling
Twitter temper tantrums (before he quit Twitter in a temper tantrum),
it has taken us forever for the point to be made.
There
is a new Jackal, and he is behind the groundbreaking cloning company
New U. New U is trying to get Parker Industries to back them, so you
get the gist of this fresh coat of paint on an old rivalry.
The
Peter Parker as CEO angle is stale and boring, something that should
have been put to bed some time ago. There is some nice intrigue going
on here, with Parker Industries employee The Prowler going on a recon
mission at New U.
The
stage is set. Dead No More is next. The artwork is a notch
better than the last three books, so that's a plus. The price is
right since this is a free read from the library, so I'll continue
reading.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 3 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
This
is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials used in
physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or
women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest
convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.
Library
copies are fascinating studies in the durability of these books. I
look at them like science experiments, as the average human handles
their books like the Samsonite Gorilla when compared to how I handle
my books.
