Marvel Team-Up #92Issue(s): Marvel Team-Up #92 Review/plot: ![]() ...and helps him snap out of it. It turns out that he was attacked by a new Mr. Fear at his job at Cross Technological Enterprises. CTE is not happy about the fact that their chief security officer has allowed someone to walk off with a radioactive isotope, and Spider-Man decides to help him get it back. ![]() The fear potion seems to have given Hawkeye a little brain damage ("he thinks I'm too sure of yourself"?) but luckily before Mr. Fear's raid he "had a hunch something was going to happen" and bugged the isotope. ![]() The new Mr. Fear is a nephew of Larry Cranston, and has inherited his uncle's equipment. His uncle will eventually return and it looks like both Mr. Fears are active in later years. ![]() Hawkeye's pride is hurt by Mr. Fear's attack, so i was pretty sure that Spider-Man was faking it when he allowed Mr. Fear to hit him with the poison needle that injects the fear poison, so that Hawkeye could regain his confidence. I mean, you'd think his spider sense would let him know not to let himself get hit. But he turns out to not be faking it. ![]() ![]() Hawkeye similarly doesn't have any tricks up his sleeves. The two of them just seem really unprepared going up against Mr. Fear. ![]() Granted neither has fought a Mr. Fear before, but they already saw what he did to Hawkeye the first time. It would be cool if Grant was deliberately writing them as a bunch of irresponsible goofballs, but that doesn't seem to be the intention. They only overcome their Fear when Hawkeye is thrown out a window, which shocks them to their senses, but at least it's a quick mop-up. There was a lot of opportunity here to play up the joker aspect of both of these characters; they could have been a lot of fun together. But Grant plays it straight. His script is fine, just very straightforward and not what you'd hope for. Quality Rating: C+ Chronological Placement Considerations: Spider-Man avoids the police and lets Hawkeye take full credit for the capture of Mr. Fear's gang because he "just got out of trouble with the police"; that actually happened a little while ago but it's all relative. The MCP places this between Amazing Spider-Man #200-201. Hawkeye appears after he was removed from the Avengers and while he's working at Cross; the MCP has him here between his appearances in Avengers #189 and #198. References:

Posted by: Max_Spider | July 3, 2013 2:36 PM Wow, there are a lot of Mr. Fears. You know, sometimes I think there are only two hair colours in the MU. Unrealistic red (MJ, Medusa, Marvel girl, DD, etc). and pre-mature gray (Mr Fear, Black cat, Clea, Silver sable, etc.) (To M: A joke. Please don't feel the need to point out other colours) Posted by: kveto | April 20, 2016 8:49 AM Comments are now closed. |
