Spider-view: “Hometown Boy” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 12) A supervillain character study gets surprisingly deep in this one-off Spidey/Iron Man issue
Spider-view: “My Sword I Lay Down” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 11) This standalone issue raises and explores some engaging questions, yet only scratches the surface in answering them
Spider-view: “A Hot Time in the Old Morgue Tonight” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 10) Tension flits through this issue, some of it decently inserted, some of it misplaced, as Milgrom wrestles with the Spidey/Cat dyanmic of the series
Spider-view: “Even a Ghost Can Fear the Night” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 9) Interwoven subplots take a back seat to a one-off filler issue that ends up being more fun that it appears at first glance
Spider-view: “And the Answer Is…” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 8) Al Milgrom's chronology might still be broken, but he works to make up for it with the addition of a great new villain
Spider-view: “With Great Power…” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 7) Spidey's most famous mantra powerfully hangs over him in this DeFalco/Leonardi issue
Spider-view: “Foiled!” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 6) Good and poor characterizations abound in this David Micheline two-parter, creating an unbalanced but entertaining tale
Spider-view: “If It Wasn’t for Bad Luck…” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 5) A well-told Spider-Man/Black Cat tale is hampered only by chronological inconsistencies
Spider-view: “By Myself Betrayed” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 4) Tom DeFalco gives Peter, and readers, ideas to mull over even as a supposedly impactful revelation falls flat
Spider-view: “Where, Oh, Where has My Spider-Man Gone?” (Alien Costume Saga, Part 3) This Secret Wars tie-in tells a fun tale about the Black Cat but suffers from some chronological and character issues
