4.0
in the past few volumes of tams there have been two major mysteries which served as a general background: who is leaving the spider-tracers on murdered people? and who is this "menace" really? both are solved in the issues collected here
- about the spider tracers: so we find out that vin, aka peter's roomie, has been the one tampering crime scenes, helped by one of his colleagues. i think it made enough sense, cops have always hated our beloved wall-crawler and on top of that they have proven more than once (both in fiction and in real life) how corrupt they can get. especially consdering this last point, i loved carlie! now /that/ is how a person who's supposedely responsable for holding up the laws should act. i do however feel like she forgave vin way too quickly, and in general his redemption was too fast-paced
- about menace's real identity: i was kinda shocked when it was revealed that lily was menace. i don't think they gave her good enough reasons to become like that though? idk i wasn't really convinced with her backstory and with her revealing the truth to harry, being outed on live television and being arrested all in a few issues if felt like everything went by too quickly
+ loved the final speech between peter and harry. their friendship really is quite dear to me :)
