The Rundown: Richard has a dangerous run in with Kingpin as Mary Jane seeks the truth from her husband.
After finding a way to return to the city, Richard is tricked into a meeting with Kingpin and his associates by Black Cat. Giving his will over to the suit, the symbiote takes over and shows them how dangerous it can be before Richard finds a way to escape. Months later, Kingpin meets with his associates to discuss not only the missing Kraven, but possible dissention in the ranks.
Mole Man breaks into Peter’s apartment and is confronted by Spider-Man who also learns that Kingpin’s men might not be as loyal as he thinks before returning to his family and confronting Richard about his sneaking out. As Peter and Mary Jane deal with the growing danger to themselves and their children, Mary Jane decides that it time she learns everything.
The Story: Hickman continues to deliver thrills and surprises throughout this series and this issue has both in spades. I love the reveal in the beginning of the story and how it will have ripple effects for all the characters going forward. I continue to love the intrigue in this series and there are some great moments for Peter and MJ towards the end and I love the amount of agency Mary Jane is given.
The Art: Checchetto delivers stunning art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of this series and how beautifully detailed every page is.
