Review/plot:
I couldn't believe that anyone would bother to bring back the Mindworm...

...even for a fill-in story, and i was prepared to hate this. Then i got to this guy and i was like, well, ok, at least there's that.

But in the end, the story turns out to be that the Mindworm was just having a psychic dream where he accidentally involved Spider-Man and his nurse, and the ending actually turns out to be kind of cool.

It's nice to see a villain get a relatively happy ending.

Too bad Paul Jenkins brought back the Mindworm years later just to kill him.
