Comics : Spider-Man Family (Vol. 2) #6 (Story 5)
In Detail...
The Spotted Cat, a great thief, is after the fossil of an ancient bug known as
the insect king. Spider-Man J pulls himself away from a magic show he
desperately wanted to see to try and stop her, but his victory ends up as
nothing more than illusion. And little does he realize the Spotted Cat is the
very person whose show he wanted to see!
In General...
Confusing panels galore. With art styles like this, it's a wonder more manga
readers don't go insane trying to determine what the hell is going on with the
action. The story, however, this time around was actually very clear. Not
much was lost in translation this time, it seems. However, the ending could
have been seen coming from a mile away. The Spotted Cat, though actually seems
like she could be an interesting character if developed for an American comic
market.
1.5 Webs. A clearer story with a predictable ending, but gains points for
introducing the most interesting character since these reprints began.
