The Rundown: A war begins in the city as the Goblin returns to the skies.
Peter Parker and his family are still on the run after what happened with Kraven and Harry Osborn pays a visit to Ben to determine if his friend and his family are safe. After learning that they are, Harry returns to the office to witness Gwen meeting with another member of the Mysterio council before her meeting with Wilson Fisk and his assistant Wesley.
In the aftermath of their meeting, both Harry and Gwen suit up to take direct action against the Kingpin and his allies. As Harry deals with the disapproving AI of his father within his suit, Gwen shows him that she is prepared to take decisive action to bring Fisk to his knees.
The Story: Hickman continues to deliver thrills, suspense and surprises throughout this issue. I continue to love the pacing of this story and how Hickman is allowing time for character development and world building. The story has beautifully detailed layers between the characters and some twists and surprises that I was not expecting but am giddy to see explored as the story progresses. A truly masterful piece of storytelling.
The Art: Messina delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The visuals do a fantastic job of capturing the dark tone of the story.
