This wasn’t a bad book. I’m glad the whole situation with Kingpin, the Tablets and Boomerang is finally done. Wasn’t expecting the Boomerang swerve.
Question; isn’t Boomerang Australian? If so, when did he lose his accent?

If I remember right, he initially pretended to have an accent as part of his gimmick.
This was a great issue.
A foot dropped today, something Spencer has been building since issue #1.
Non-Spoiler Take, it's a twist that could easily have fallen flat given how popular the deception was but somehow Spencer made it in-character for everyone and everything, and didn't make us hate the person as well.
This entire series has been a stealth status quo reversal under the pretense of new stories.
-Peter and MJ dating
-Peter a broke student working for media Corp
-Lizard turned back into a sympathetic villian
-Rhino turned back into a villian
-Kraven turned back into a generic hunter
-JJJ working in media again
-Norman becoming classic Gobbie
-Harry turned into(literal) mentally ill monster
-Otto leading the Sinister Six(also reverted to classic Ock)
-Boomerang becoming a villian again
-JJJ inevitably holding a grudge against Parker for embarrassing him onstage and live
The moral of this giant sized issue, and perhaps this entire run, seems to he more or less "dont be idealistic and believe people can change for the better", with the exception of Fisk, who actually came out of this whole ordeal at least learning a lesson, but that might be more or less because Chip's DD run shields him from any significant change here.
If the Chameleon storyline ends up being JJJ teaming up with Chameleon and Smythee to pilot the new spider slayers to get revenge on Parker, itd be a seriously bummer way for this series to take the most predictable route.
