In part one of Invasion of the Spider-Slayers, Spider-Man is attacked by a killer robot at the very beginning, and struggles with it, eventually ripping its head off after it was attacked by a construction worker with a jackhammer. During the fight, even though he doesn't see it, he is being recorded by tiny robot spiders that are clinging to walls and lamp posts.

Later on, Spider-Man returns home to find Felicia Hardy, AKA the Black Cat. They discuss Peter Parker's parents, who have apparently returned from the dead issues earlier. Later still, Peter Parker goes out for a night on the town with his apparently returned parents and his wife when another giant robot attacks, this time a giant robot bird. A change to Spider-Man, and our hero tussles with the robot baddie until it threatens civilians and his family, then Spider-Man promptly demolishes the robot bird. Chapter 1 ends with Spider-Man wondering who is sending the robots.

In General...

I don't much care for bi-weekly sagas. They are rushed and really too simple for me sometimes. This one is fun, I guess. Spider-Man is basically going to be fighting robot after robot for the next couple issues. Bagley's pencils are great though.

Overall Rating...

Not too bad. Not too good. I like the art though.
