Marvel Comics Presents #39

 An overall forgettable issue of the anthology series. 

The only thing that sets this issue truly apart is that finally after 39 issues, Spider-Man appears! It's regrettable that Spidey's story is a one-and-done tale of only 8 pages. I guess the wall-crawler wasn't as big as a draw in the late 80s as opposed to the plethora of mutants that have starred in this series. 

The story is simple. Peter Parker is struggling to balance his personal life, marriage and career as a superhero. Trouble arises thanks to a warning from the Spidey-sense. It's not a super villain this time but a bunch of eco-terrorists with good intentions. They want to save a bunch of lab animals being mistreated. 

Being devoted to truth and justice, Spider-Man has to apprehend them since these animal lovers are breaking the law despite the goodness in their hearts. How can Spider-Man be true to himself while in the middle of a crime scene that is very much a gray area ethically?

One oh too short, heartwarming tale. 3 forgettable fillers.

Not Worth Consuming!

Rating: 3 out of 10 stars.
