Spider-Girl #59

  Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciller: Ron Frenz Synopsis: It's death and life as Spider-Girl has her showdown with Seth and a new character is born.  Comments: Spider-Girl's fight with Seth takes its cues from Amazing Spider-Man #229-230, written by Roger Stern and drawn by John Romita Jr. where Spider-Man fought the Juggernaut and Amazing Spider-Man #269-70 by DeFalco/Frenz, where he fought Firelord. These stories deal with a fight against a much stronger foe on a construction site and in all three instances the hero thinks they've killed the bad guy, but is mistaken.  I have re-read this comic multiple times, but I never noticed Spider-Girl kicking Seth in the groin until frogoat pointed it out . It's juxtaposed with Mary Jane giving birth, so there's a lot going down there.  Seth definitely overcompensates for Spider-Girl kicking in the groin by turning into his giant snake form, calling it his "unfettered glory." May isn't impressed. Seth does have a...

Avengers Unlimited Infinity Comic #38

  Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciler: Ron Frenz Synopsis: A foe from the Avengers first battle comes back to seek revenge.  Comments: Uroc was first appeared in Thor #408 and was created by Tom DeFalco and Mike Mignola. In Thor #450, Uroc's left hand was frozen and destroyed by the special forces police team of Code: Blue. In Wolverine #137, written by Eric Larsen and drawn by Jeff Matsuda (designer on The Jackie Chan Adventures and The Batman ), Uroc had both hands intact, so Uroc's history on Earth 982 must diverge from Thor #450 and the events of Wolverine #137 did not happen. Uroc was created before Hellboy (Mignola's most famous creation), but shares a resemblance to him with the filed down horns on his head. Frenz has strengthened the resemblance by giving Uroc a presumably prosthetic uru left hand that resembles Hellboy's right hand as a tribute to his creator.  Sabreclaw looks like the trolls. I thought it might result in a friendly fire incident.  There's a ...

Spider-Girl #15

 Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciller: Pat Olliffe Synopsis: Spider-Girl teams up with Speedball against Mister Abnormal.  Comments: May has a big black eye from her fight with Kaine.  May is finally spelling "Kaine" the correct way.  The "pulling a Clinton" line makes me uncomfortable. Not that I think it's untrue, just seems weirdly inappropriate for a comic marketed to youngsters. That's just me. Today, it might be changed to "pulling a Trump."  Everyone seems to know Moose thinks Courtney is Spider-Girl, except Courtney.  Hat tip to frogoat for seeing the connection of Mister Abnormal to Plastic Man when he is trying to steal Police Comics , which had the first appearance of Plastic Man.
