Reviews

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very early Spidey (S) crossover - nice fight! S and the Wasp (W) seem to have it in for each other; it is kind of a funny side fight that seems to be based on their personas (spider and wasp). In my opinion this is a very good early 'ranking' of S power; he is pretty much able to run rings around Giant-Man (GM) and W. GM never seems (in my opinion) to be able to live this encounter down.

The Wasp is a delight!

Spider-Man and Giant man are tricked into fighting each other. The wasp goes on an adventure by herself. Not a fan of how even female superheroes are still portrayed as damsels to be saved and not strong.

Spidey just can't catch a break
