The Rundown: Spider-Man discovers a dangerous conspiracy connected to his current case.

After losing his powers to a walking Nazi experiment, Peter returns to Gwen’s apartment right before the creature using his costume and powers bursts in. Peter manages to fight off the threat without his abilities and Gwen takes him down with her father’s gun only to discover something truly upsetting about the man’s identity.
At the funeral, Peter overhears some crooked cops talking about a meeting. After donning his suit and sneaking in, Peter discovers the extent of the Nazi plan in his city. As a rival gang moves in for revenge, Peter gets his powers back just in time to save his life and learn the truth about his new enemy.
The Story: Larsen brings this story to a satisfying and fun conclusion. There is great action throughout the story and I loved every one of the reveals in the issue. Each one added something interesting and exciting to the final moments of the story and the ending was pitch perfect in its depiction of Peter and his world. I would love to revisit this world again.
The Art: Broccardo delivers stunning art throughout the issue. I love the visual style and how visually dynamic the action is throughout the issue.
