Alright Connors and Spider-Man are talking about what needs to be done to capture Freak. Connors at one point says he'll track him down, but blames his missing arm for not being able to track him to What? Anyways they wanna find him before he hatches from his coccoon and they have this powder called ultralime or something to put on him and keep him in stasis.
There's a subplot of Mr. Hollister running for mayor still, and his opponent in the race watches his speech on TV. He says if Hollister can't be bought out, then he's going on the list. This scene was meant to establish the guy as either being Menace or connected to him...Two pages later Menace attacks Hollister, and Peter's taking pictures of the speech so he's there to fight Menace. Hollister's rival in the mayoral election is outraged that Menace is attacking because of bad publicity if people think he's associated with a supervillain. So he's not Menace.
Spider-Man's fighting him till Connors calls and let's him know he found Freak. Since Freak's been burned and shot he can be killed from strangleation or drowning, since once something hurts him he becomes immune.
So Spider-Man fight's Freak and Connors has the Turbo Lime or whatever that crap's called in the trunk of his car. Spider-Man remembering Freak's a junkie tells Connor that moving all those drugs won't be easy. Freak then snorts the happy lime and turns in to a coccoon. Spider-Man dumps what wasn't snorted to be safe, and a HAZMAT team is called to pick him up.
After he's loaded in the truck by the guys in biohazard suits, immediately the HAZMAT sign is pulled off the van to reveal an Oscorp logo. Seriously they do this within seconds of loading him up. There is absolutely no reason to do this in broad daylight unless you're showing comicbook readers who you are. STUPID.
From reading this arc it felt like it was moved up the schedule prematurely. Probably to make the book suit the "big changes" coming up. You know the half assed compromises that'll probably just dig them deeper with the fans. The story was just bad, all over the place, and Spider-Man shouted puns that sounded like they were written by a six year old. I swear anyone that can say they like this book with a straight face needs an Oscar.
