I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

In the previous comics, the F.E.A.S.T. community center opened by Aunt Mae was wrecked twice before it could open. Once by crime Syndicate lawyer Janice Lincoln in her Beetle form, though she is trying to make it up to her boyfriend Randy Robertson who is a friend of the Parkers.  Meanwhile, Mary Jane saved theatergoers from Electro by impersonating his real target and wound up with an incredible job offer. 

He helps MJ pack and then goes to help Aunt Mae paint and has a heart to heart with her about how do you know if that person is the love of your love and the one you marry.  Then his newfound sister and S.H.I.E.L.D. superspy drops by and asks for his help. It seems that someone she cares deeply for has been taken and she needs his help getting him back. This will probably mean that he won't see MJ off at the airport like he promised, but he does it anyway.

The last comic is about Norman Osbourne as Carnage and how he tells the symbiote that he can have one kill a night and when he has that kill there are witnesses so he kills them too and soon he's burning down an apartment building and Norman feels bad for like one second.  Then he runs into an old college friend that screwed him over and he gets revenge.  Then they show a young boy out trick or treating who goes to the wrong house. 

The middle comic makes no sense whatsoever.  It seems to be two dream sequences at the same time and reality thrown in there.  The reality seems to be Norman locked up in a mental ward but you're not sure if he's the one having the dreams or not.  There's a creature, Kindred who's outside Norman's cell and seems to be controlling the dreams which involve Carnage fighting Spider-Man and Peter Parker protecting his friends, some of who are dead. 

Overall, this comic was okay, but not great.  The first comic was rather boring, the second one was confusing as hell, and the third one was okay.  It was interesting to see Norman and others as Carnage and to see Peter Parker with a sister.  This wasn't a bad comic, it just wasn't great.  I give it two and a half stars out of five.
