Web of Spider-Man #44Issue(s): Web of Spider-Man #44 Review/plot: Spidey is in Las Vegas as part of Peter Parker's photobook tour. Swinging around town as Spider-Man, his spider-sense briefly goes off, indicating to him that he is in a gunner's sights. He doesn't see the gunner, but we do: Delta, talking about the Warzone survival games. ![]() We meet the other players of the game too, including Puck's big brother. ![]() Marlo's in this issue too... ![]() ...but the Hulk isn't interested in seeing her right now. ![]() I include this scan to show Peter David's nod to an old Stan Lee flub of Peter Parker's name. ![]() And this is pretty funny too. ![]() With "Joe Fixit" having given her the brush off, Marlo decides to go meet Peter, who is taken from his television interview to a book signing. ![]() But before she gets there, the Warzone games start up. ![]() ![]() And these guys turn out to be more than just Mad Max refugees with weapons. ![]() Marlo gets knocked out during the fighting, and Spider-Man rushes her to a hospital where her friend Mona is a nurse. Mona calls Mr. Fixit, who initially says he doesn't care. ![]() But he does show up to help Spider-Man. ![]() Actually, he's really just interested in the woman that hurt Marlo, and is ready to let another one of the Warzone players shoot her. But of course Spider-Man isn't ok with that, and intervenes, only to find out that Mr. Fixit is the Hulk. ![]() The Warzone stuff is pretty outlandish, but there's a lot of humor here and a good lead in for those "confused" or "excited" enough to follow the story over to the Hulk side. Quality Rating: B Chronological Placement Considerations: Continues directly in Hulk #349. References: N/A Crossover: N/A Continuity Insert? N My Reprint: N/A Inbound References (5): showCharacters Appearing: Hulk, Marlo Chandler, Mona (Marlo's friend), Spider-Man CommentsThat "Who?" comment by Peter may be Peter David taking a backhanded swipe at Byrne, considering they'd been having issues ever since Alpha Flight #12.
