Ah Doc Ock makes his appearance. Not a huge fan of the character and this story is a bit convoluted for the sake of it.

We learn why Doc Ock doesn't like Hammer and his family. Peter is just trying to live his daily life but now a crazy guy with 4 octopus arms is out to get him. If that's not bad enough you have Kraven the Hunter now claiming he will murder Spider-man. I mean, the guy just can't catch a break. But wait, one of his classmates knows who he is too? And who is this Gwen person?

Overall, this is a lot in one volume but some of it doesn't work for me. Doc Ock is just okay villain, kraven a throwaway, and all the Hammer stuff is kind of dull. On the flipside everything with Peter's school life, MJ, Gwen, and more is amazing. I also thought the ending was great stuff and shows how much Peter is growing.

A weaker volume but still good. A 3 out of 5.
