“The Gathering of Five, Part 4”
John Byrne (w) / Luke Ross (a)
The Gathering of Five rolls on with… well,
a bunch of filler… in which John Byrne delivers some cringy dialogue, and has Spidey aggressively best some kids on the basketball court.

“The Gathering of Five, Part 5”
Todd DeZago (w) / Joe Bennett (a)

“The Final Chapter, Part 1”
John Byrne (w) / Rafael Kayanan (a)
Kicking off the Final Chapter with the final issue

“The Final Chapter, Part 2”
Howard Mackie (w) / John Romita, Jr. (a)
Not even the arrival of John Romita, Jr. can
save this story. Oh, and the other shoe drops on that “May lives” thing.

Jim Nastics #1 (1984)
Revisiting an old favorite, in which Reggie and I
discussed a very weird small-press black and white book. Added commentary as well as feedback we received from the creator of Jim Nastics himself!
