Summary: Surprisingly good.
Comment: Usually these "Somebody Vs. Somebody" One-shot specials that Marvel does have boring plots, inconsistancies in character behavior, and over-the-top meaningless fight scenes.

This one was surprisingly well done. Both Wolverine and Spidey's characters are true to form. Spidey cracks jokes and, as usual, gets in a little over his head by trying to do what's right. Wolverine proves just how much of a [tough-guy] he is, and also says and does things that show that inside he is a very intelligent man who also understands how to manipulate people.

The story is an entertaining and self-contained one, yet still one that manages to have far-reaching implications in the Marvel Universe; traits that all Marvel comics creative teams should try to emulate.

The dialogue and art are well done. Chronologically, this story takes place soon before the "Wedding of Spiderman" storyline.

Rating: 4
Summary: A sleeper that made for a big change in the Spidey-Books
Comment: Writer James Owsley, now known for writing books such as Quantum & Woody and Black Panther under the name Christopher Priest, and frequent collaborator Mark Bright present a tale of intrigue and espionage that sees Wolverine and Spider-Man in Germany, trying to stop a rogue spy on a murderous mission.

The story has a few neat twists, and the art is well-done, but it's most memorable for the death of a long-time supporting character, who, as it later turned out, was the Villain known as The Hobgoblin.

A well-told story that's worth a look.
