Superior Foes of Spider-Man #9 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

As usual, Spencer and Lieber paint a pretty grim picture of our gang.  Boomerang plays all tough when it comes to his "rivalry" with Bullseye, except that he seemingly offers Bullseye his new girlfriend's life in exchange for his own.  Shocker is honestly befuddled over the prospects that lay before him as a result of possessing the Head of Silvermane, and I don't really want to know why Hydro-Man is worried about returning to a life where he was in the back of a truck in an alleyway being asked to dance in front of a camera.  But, once again, Fred proves how resourceful he is, using his camera-rang to set up Chameleon to make it seem like he impersonated Fred to seal the Dr. Doom painting.  As a result, Owl transfer the hit (and, presumably, his LMD Bullseye) from Fred to Chameleon, and Fred is free to do...well, whatever it is Fred does.  But, he has to get through a pretty pissed Beetle and Overdrive to do it.  Once again, frying pan, fire.

*** (three of five stars)
