Review/plot:
In a sub-plot from the last arc, a pair of criminals were trying to uncover some British treasury plates, and wound up getting zapped by a mystical light when they opened the box. We now find that they had released some demons.

The Thing and Alicia run into the demons while visiting Stonehenge, and the Thing fights them back with the help of Modred the Mystic and Spider-Woman (who had been stalking Ben since the end of last issue).

    

Modred also reveals to Spider-Woman that she's human-born. She wasn't evolved from a spider. She and Modred stay together at the end of this issue so he can investigate her origin further, and we're given a solicitation for Spider-Woman's own series, coming soon.

Modred also casts a spell that apparently removes Alica's and possibly the Thing's memory of Alicia turning into a spider monster in the last arc. This is done over Alicia's protestations that she can handle the memories. It's apparently Ben who can't stand the idea that his girl had been a monster, which i suppose is unintentionally ironic.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 3 - revised origin for Spider-Woman.

Chronological Placement Considerations: See the Considerations section for Fantastic Four #176; this takes place during that issue. Takes place while the Thing and Alicia are still in London, so no other appearances by these characters should take place between this issue and Marvel Two-In-One #32.

The title comes from the James Bond book/film "From Russia With Love".
