Wow so Spencer is just taking this book bigger and bigger in terms of scope. Wasn’t expecting the final page at all. Wonder how it all fits together?

Damn won’t be able to get my hands on this book until later today. Hopefully we get a few more OMD teases.
Ha!! This just keeps getting better.

Overall, this issue didn't do much in terms of driving the plot forward, but I didn't expect it to. We know that Dr. Strange recruited Black Cat to save Spider-Man, and that Mary Jane is still on her press tour for the movie (really wish they included an editor's note about where the events of that story happened).
Also, this issue barely had the Order of the Web, so the solicits lied once again lol Not surprised: I usually don't trust solicits for the most part. But hot dang I did not expect Carter to try and "cleanse" freaking MORLUN!! And why was Morlun in the sewers acting like Vermin? I thought he was in jail?
Overall, this was a good issue, though not as much as the last three! But still a solid issue overall!
Morlun is interesting. Why? It means that almost every bad Spider-Man issue is being referred to in Spencer’s run: Shed, OMD/BND, Sins Past, Silk and The Other ( all we need is Clone Saga and Year One). What do I think happens? One of these stories ( likely OMD or The Other ( or both) get erased ( just like Shed)), and someone has to die. If you go through great Spider-Man stories, death is often prevalent. Amazing Fantasy 15, Death of Jean DeWolffe, Death of Gwen, Kid Who Collected Spider-Man etc.
F#CK!!!! (I really shouted it when I saw the last page)
So why cleanse him?
Chances are it’s going to go terribly wrong.
There is a tremendously ironic but satisfying moment in a way

Norman Osborn saves MJ from a collapsing bridge. Well done, Spencer.
Damn! That tease in the astral plane turned out to be alot sooner than I thought, Morlun is back!
Did Sin-Eater lose all the powers he gained when the sins left him? Kinda funny how it seems like Kindred's overconfidence of his plan of forsaking a zealot is now gonna contribute to his undoing.
Seeing the art in this book makes me wish that Federico Vicentini was on the main book like right now. Dang it looks good!
I'm thinking and it really fits. In One More Day there were two facts that were not explained until much later: Peter lost the powers of The Other and Harry Osborn resurrected.

This is just my takeaway, but I guess Spencer is working under the idea that what would've been the second arc of her solo didn't happen and she just now got back to New York for the press tour instead of like she did in issue #6 of her book.
Either that or we assume this is her getting back to New York after all the Montana business.
