The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 5: Unintended Consequences by J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr.
3.0

This was a weaker volume but still with great character moments.

The first story is about a bunch of mobsters killed in the 50's, but buried where the Gamma explosions went off, creating them all into one body of a monster similar to the Hulk. Peter than has to protect another mobster from this creature wanting to exact revenge. It's a pretty cool story cause show's Peter's smart side of how to deal with situations but drags on a bit too long and didn't care about the Mobsters. I will say the final two issues are a lot stronger, with Peter again helping one of his students with her family issues. Really wholesome and some great detective vibes for Spider-Man that I enjoy.

Overall solid, a 3.5 out of 5, but not as good as the last 4 volumes.
