Following the new series about Weaver and clawed in the Spider-Man # 134 released today . The Vulture and Rhino are also party.
We first Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine a new title que nous avions pu découvrir le mois dernier. Jason Aaron ( Scalped , Black Panther , Wolverine : Weapon X ) est au scénario, Adam Kubert s'occupe des dessins.
Alors que les deux héros tentent de s'opposer au braquage d'une banque, ils se retrouvent expédiés dans le passé, à une époque reculée où Logan devient le leader d'un peuple d'hommes-singes alors que Parker se morfond en solitaire et tente de trouver un moyen de sauver ce monde de la chute imminente d'un astéroïde. Un début rather surprising and quite dark then, playing lots of conflicting reports and the contrast between the two protagonists.
This second chapter plunges this time in a heavily modified future where mankind has been exterminated and that a new danger threatens the descendants of the famous ape-men (the latter having survived thanks to the valuable advice of Wolves). Living Planet gun that uses ammunition based Force Phoenix, mechanical dinosaur, the environment is rather strange and disturbing story loses the side of the first boards to move towards a disproportion that is not always easy to handle.
It is however still a bit early to really have an opinion on this arc settled.
It then passes three episodes from Amazing Spider-Man . The first two are written by Mark Waid ( Ruse , Fatal ) & Tom Peyer and drawn by Paul Azaceta . Spidey faces to the Vulture, the latter having escaped from the Raft with Electro. Beware though, it is not the Vulture "Classic" (Adrian Toomes), but a new version, played by Jimmy Natale, a henchman of the mafia that his bosses have turned into a monster. His powers are also somewhat different, it is especially capable of generating an acid that ... spit at the head of his enemies. Ah, a small rise in gastric juice as an offensive weapon, he was thinking.
short, our great piaf blames J. Jonah Jameson (also Mayor of New York) he holds responsible for his condition. Parker is of course to rescue his boss, but he will be thanked in a way 
very strange. A story finally classic but not unpleasant. Graphically, we may note a small problem with Parker is proving repeatedly swollen and almost unrecognizable (perhaps also because of the inking seems quite thick).

The last episode is a one-shot featuring the confrontation between the old Rhino, repentant and ready to begin a new life, and his successor, determined to defeat him to "earn" his title. Scenario Joe Kelly, Max Fiumara drawings . A plot actually quite simple but relatively moving (a little, for short, in the tradition of the miniseries where the Rhino became highly intelligent and even discovered, by inference, the actual identity of the weaver).
Visually, the impression of power and brute strength of the Rhino is very well made and this time Parker finds a more usual, but what are his fingers, strangely elongated (and flat, it looks like Reed), who give an impression of extreme fragility and even a short side of precious. Nothing too serious, but hard to pass by without noticing.
A batch average, with many nice moments that small defects.
ps: at the end of the review, Grasse talk of a new series Spider-Girl , I do not know if it will be published by Panini, according his comments, it seems so, but it's not really explicit. To see ... the idea is certainly not displease me.
