First things first, if you're buying this issue to see Ben Grimm as one of the Serpent's Worthy then save the $3.99. In this issue Ben is still the ever lovin' blue eyed thing.

This issue is all about Mockingbird and the events of the previous issues. She was given a combination of the Infinity Formula and Super Soldier serum to save her life.

Another main plot of this issue is possible dissension between Spider-Man and Victoria Hand. He still doesn't trust her for sending them to battle HAMMER in the previous arc. It also doesn't help her cause that she worked for his greatest enemy Norman Osborn during her tenure with HAMMER. Spidey threatens to leave the team and the situation is left unresolved.

Finally, see see Mockingbird swing into action against Sin's forces that are assaulting NYC. She doesn't seem to skip a beat as her newfound abilities are put on full display.

Thoughts:
The action in this one is limited and only at the end of the book. The dissension between Spidey & Victoria Hand has me interested. This issue is all about Mockingbird and much of it focuses on her near death experience and her thoughts on how she was saved.

6.5/10

I have fallen behind on my issues. About 2 weeks worth of issues are sitting on my desk. Shame on me indeed.

Please tell me its not JUST Spidey acting that way? They all have every right to be incredibly pissed at her.

Wolverine seems to think the same, he just isn't nearly as vocal about it.

I was glad to see the Spidey/Hand situation. I think that's going to result in something much bigger. I don't trust Hand either.

Never trust a beautiful woman.
