This cover isn't particulerly well drawn or impressively thought out (better than anything I could do, but that's not saying much). However, it features a concept so odd that you can't help but be intrigued and pick up the book, 'Spider-Man turning into The Lizard.' This is the sort of thing I love about comic books and the sort of cover I love.
As for the storyline inside, we are unfortunately not treated to the Reptilarachnid featured on the cover. Luckily the story is quite well written, features an art style I can finally enjoy, and is surprisingly brutal. 'Ha, how brutal can Spider-Man possibly be?' Well I'll tell you...The Lizard kills Conners son. Pre teen son.
Much like Savage Dragon 160, this is one of few comics to actually get a true emotional reaction from me.
I hate it when children die in any media. It's slightly better if its offscreen and we get a discretion shot, but I'm still not a fan. In this case, we were given the discretion shot, so things aren't too bad. It has also made me genuinely want Spider-Man to beat the shit out of Lizard. Here's hoping the story concludes as such.
