    We learned that Rhonda's Inhuman powers are a little... weird, to say the least.

She's also completely batsh!t crazy and nearly kills dozens of innocents while on a rampage at St. Patrick's cathedral (I bet that destruction won't improve Nueva York back in 2099!), even hurting her own girlfriend Jasmine in the process! She disappeared to a remote mountaintop, while Miguel rushes Jasmine to the hospital. During all of this, we also got to see more boiling over of that inner struggle between Roberta and Captain America 2099! Next issue promises Miguel will discover the truth about Tempest, but regardless of the outcome, I suspect Miguel still might not get the happy ending he truly deserves.

    So, did anyone else enjoy this week's issue? If so, what parts did you like most? And did you like the introduction of Glorianna?

    The anticipation for #8 is gonna be killer!
    I liked the issue. Glorianna was that kinda bat-s%&t crazy you don't see alot. But hope Migguy contacts Attila about this. Can't have crazy inhumans running around.

    And Tempest comes back next month? Yes!

    As much as I love this series and writer, I'm a little surprised it's still going. Anyone know how it's been selling? Really hoping it gets the deluxe hardcover treatment.

    Hmm, the plot reminds me of what happened in Superior Spider-Man Team-Up's Infinity tie-in issues. Same basic premise of a Spider-Man contending with a newly empowered Inhuman with potentially godlike abilities that decides to use her newfound power to rule over the world and cure it of what she sees as its great ills, only to be painfully brought back down to Earth when the Spider-Man of the title makes her realize that her actions are doing far more to harm than help the world like she believes she's doing. In Superior Spider-Man Team-Up's case, it ended with the newly empowered Inhuman sacrificing her life through a maximal exertion of her power to protect the world, and in 2099's case, it seems like "Glorianna" just has some hard thinking to do, having hurt probably the one person she still cares about from her former life.

    As for the other developments, am looking forward to Tempest's return, though also fearing that Miguel won't get his happy ending, anyway, and hoping that Roberta and Captain America 2099 can find a way to reconcile before their personality clash does one or both of them permanent damage.

    It's sales have already dropped below the previous run, I blame marvel for their mediocre and unnecessary relaunch plus editorial mandates.

    So how'd we enjoy Spider-Man 2099 #8?!

    I loved when the rage (or rather, passion) hit Miguel and the fangs coming out before he raced to the hospital. And the "Thor movie" pun really cracked me up. I'm greatly anticipating #9 because it looks like we're gonna get some resolution with Tempest's story. I wonder if she's still pregnant? Or even fully alive? And what is her mother's motive in all of this, were her actions out of some genuine care for her daughter, something more sinister, or perhaps a mixture of both? I just can't wait to see where this arc ends up!

    Overall, I thought it was an amazing issue and just another current example of PAD proving he's one of the best writers in the business!

    This issue was vastly superior to the last couple, I'm glad we're back on the Tempest story line. Also, I feel that Miguel is actually being smart about his problems, and looking at them strategically/logically, even when he's enraged. This is something I've been missing in Slott's ASM run.

    From what I remember of Spider-Man 2099 #3's epilogue, Tempest's mother was just a selfish gold digger who married Tempest's father to secure herself financially and set up Tempest with someone she hoped would keep her financially secure via said arranged marriage, and was pissed off when Tempest went against her wishes to be with Miguel. This was just her being a controlling c-word who looked at marriage as chiefly a meal ticket, love being completely irrelevant to her.

    Hmm, I think what Slott gets right, however poorly he might depict it at times, is that Peter is a guy who ultimately goes with his heart and not his head, which is sometimes a good thing in that his compassion leads him to go softer on villains or criminals he believes aren't completely irredeemable or purely selfishly motivated. By that same token, as could be inferred, it also makes him easier to sucker into letting a villain or criminal go if he feels sorry for them or personally attached to them in some way, which can and does backfire horribly sometimes. When he's morally outraged, though, pragmatism can be a hard concept for him to grasp in dealing with the object of his outrage, or acknowledging that the person he's defending may not be a blameless innocent like he's inclined to think.

    In that same regard, Peter David did make Miguel O'Hara as an inversion of many of Peter Parker's best-known traits. We all know that Miguel is talkative and snarky out of costume and terse and serious in costume while Peter is quiet and unassuming out of costume and talkative and snarky in costume, but like you indicated, it's also that Peter is a lot more emotional in his approach to situations while Miguel is a lot more cerebral and calculative, which allows him to be comparatively more ruthless and pragmatic than Peter.

    Just caught up with the last two issues. Good good stuff. Interesting to see Tempest's mother seems to have some criminal ties. Still wondering if she's related to Storm, given the family name.

    While I'm enjoying all this, I'd still like more actual, you know, 2099 in the 2099 title. More of Miggy's rogues popping up would be nice. Maybe they can bring in Vulture next?

    And that her daughter's name is Tempest, which is another word for storm. And yes, seeing more 2099 in Spider-Man 2099 would be cool. Maybe that VR entity Discord can hop back in time, piggybacking on Lyla.

    Wondering if she'll once again be able to go full spider-wasp sometime down the road as well.

    Part of me hopes so, but I seriously doubt it.
