The Rundown: The Electro’s return and Juliet’s training could lead to disaster.
Juliet continues to receive training in using her powers from everyone including the Thing and the Human Torch. As she continues to grow in her abilities, her confidence increases as well. At the same time, Curt Connors and his wife plead for help when they discover that their son is missing.
As Juliet’s confidence rises, her arrogance prompts Peter and Miles to bring in someone to teach her a lesson in the dangers of being a hero from someone who lost one and paid the price for being with one. When the Electros return, a battle breaks out that Juliet tries to aid in, but her interference could cost her someone she cares about.
The Story: Weisman crafts a thrilling and engaging story in this issue. There are some great emotional layers to the story and all of the characters have interesting and compelling moments. The story continues to find a fun mixture of humor and heart with all of the characters and I continue to enjoy the cameos from other heroes trying to help Juliet become a hero. The story has a great narrative flow and then hits the reader in the gut with the cliffhanger at the end and I appreciate the drama of that moment.
The Art: Laiso delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. I love the beautifully detailed pages and panels as well as the character designs and action.
