Waiting for the Trade By Bill Miller   Spider-man/Lizard: No Turning Back by Dan Slott & Giuseppe Camuncoli Collects Amazing Spider-man 688-691 plus Untold Tales of Spider-man #9   Why I bought this: The Lizard is one of my two favorite Silver Age Spidey foes so I had wanted to read this since it came out around the time of the Spidey reboot film. At Free Comic Book Day this year one of my local shops ran a buy one, get one free sale on all trades making it an ideal time to finally pick this up.   The Plot: Spider-man captures Lizard and takes him to Horizon labs in an attempt to cure him but Morbius’s presence there soon leads to events spinning out of control as the Spidey mythos takes a rare foray into the horror genre.   As always spoilers after the break.

Waiting for the Trade By Bill Miller Sensation Spider-man: Feral by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Angel Medina and Clayton Crain Collects Sensational Spider-man 23 – 27. Why I bought this: It is exactly the kind of timeless high concept super hero story that appeals to me; in this case a meteor affects several characters with animal-based powers causing them to run amok in New York . Also among those characters are both Black Cat and Lizard, who are two of my favorites.
