Pin-up art! There were quite a few good ones.
I liked the one where it had Spidey’s classic suit on one side and the black suit on the other (by McFarlane and Larsen).
There is also one with the Sinister Six (by Kammel) which looks so cool and classic.
And the Sinister Six back cover art for the premier HC (which is also this CEs back-cover)! That felt a bit more modern and the colours just popped.

Spider-Man versus Doctor Doom!
I don’t know if they’ve ever battled before. And it's interesting, considering an upcoming film…
Anyway, Spidey makes a deal to retrieve the dragon egg for Doom.
All’s well that ends well, though Black Fox lost his retirement fund…
Not that he needs it in prison!
I liked how they included Uncle Ben; in a way that didn’t change his story.

A setting up issue for the next. I didn’t read this too closely.
It is kind of funny how Peter always lets the Black Fox go.
But not this time! And somehow the older man has incurred the ire of Doctor Doom!

IS Jonah back at the Daily Bugle? Maybe I missed something!
Both Sandman and Spider-Man feel like they don’t belong…
Maybe being a reserve Avenger isn’t all that great.
They both get a tip and deal with a domestic threat… Which is against current charter rules.
Thinking he was getting fired, Sandman quits.
Peter realises he’s got a lot going for him in his life.

Venom unfreezes Spider-Man on a deserted island.
He wants no interrupts and no heroes bailing Peter out.
Interestingly, Venom is shown to have some camouflage abilities.
Anyway, Peter realises to survive, he needs to give the madman what he wants; Spider-Man's death!
After Peter's plan works, Eddie decides to stay on the island, finally feeling free.

Venom is out for one thing and one thing only, the death of Spider-Man!
MJ really didn't like being shuffled off to her sisters but the way that Venom comes after Spidey, it was the only option.
Though again, we see Venom save innocents.
The issue ends with Spider-Man falling for Venom's trap!

Silver Sable works as the middle person between Spidey and Sapirdyne Chemicals.
Spidey agrees to get paid to do what he was gonna do anyway; search for Cardiac.
We learn why Cardiac has the powers he does and see him use them to sink an entire container ship!
(After a pointless Boomerang appearance.)
We also witness the return of Venom!
And a piece of symbiote is left with Cletus…

Cardiac and Spidey have a bit of a conflict when Cardiac wants to blow up chemical warehouses.
Rhino is hired to stop Cardiac but Spidey interrupts their fight.
Cardiac accomplishing his goal means another explosion in a warehouse.
The owner of Sapirdyne Chem. is informed that Spidey tried to stop the unknown hero... and wants to hire him?!
Also Eddie Brock is cellmates with... Cletus Kasidy!

Spider-Man and Black Cat team-up once again to crash a meeting of villains.
The mastermind is… Chameleon!
BC does quite well though, there’s too many for her to deal with alone.
Luckily, Peter regains his powers!
Of course, Chameleon gets away while his grunts are arrested.
Side effect, Felicia was partially exposed to the machine and her powers are gone (weird)!

Peter struggles adjusting to being only a bystander.
Not that he’s given much opportunity to sit on the side-lines when Scorpion attacks!
Of course Peter can’t take on the enhanced menace alone and calls in Black Cat (who knew Pete lost his powers).
I liked the talk the ex-couple had but this was really a fight-centred comic.
Peter gets a clue to who Turner really is.

Peter actually did it! He stripped himself of his powers (so much for his responsibility).
Dr Turner, who is not a kind man, contacts Tarantula to inform him of the web-slingers' new weakened status.
Lucky Spidey’s got some good friends in Flash and Felicia who help him.
Flash ends up in hospital and Felicia is suspicious of Spider-Man’s poor form.
