It seems that the Kingpin had a little hand in Jenkins being released on parole after only a couple of months of his sentence. Meanwhile, Kingpin knows Abner is being let out, and plans to offer him the choice of working for Fisk Corp, or being dead. But Schultz is terrified of Punisher, Scourge, Spidey, and all those good guys, and can't face heading back to the super-villain schtick. Schultz talks about Abner Jenkins (The Beetle, natch) being released on parole, and being expected to go back to his life of crime.
I didn't know they had those, but hey, I'm not from those parts, so maybe they do. Herman is in "The Tombs Prison" which seems to be an inner-city tower-block prison, smack in the heart of New York. In fact, counting ads, we're on page eight before he wakes up. Yeah, the first five pages of story say "The Shocker is having a nightmare". But then Spidey turns up, and wants to kill him too! Yep, Spidey, with a big green demonic tongue! Oh, heck, it's just a dream! But anyhow, both Punny and Scourge wanna kill Schultz.
I thought he was called the "Scourge of the Underworld". Seems like The Punisher has him cornered, and is gonna shoot him. First up, we have Herman Schultz, AKA "The Shocker". Instead, let's have a look and see what's happening. Even more disturbing, the Editor is Terry Kavanagh! So I really don't think we can expect too much positive editorial influence from the guy who is often considered to be the worst Spider-Man writer ever!īut let's not pre-judge. The writer is Danny Fingeroth, who already starred in a "Worst of the Worst" feature for his "Spider-Man: Friends and Enemies" limited series. Instead, let's flip open the cover and check the splash page. but now they've joined forces!" Of course this omits one key point, that in fact the last time they joined forces they were also defeated! But let's not quibble over marketing details. The cover boldly claims: "Alone they were defeated. Perhaps things will be different this time? Thanks to Sandman coming to the aid of the White Hats, the Syndicate was defeated on that first meeting. At that time, their aim was to eliminate Silver Sable, who had co-incidentally just employed Spider-Man to assist her. These guys first came together under the name "The Sinister Syndicate", in Amazing Spider-Man #280. The four-part limited series, "Deadly Foes of Spider-Man" re-unites Boomerang, Beetle, Speed Demon, Rhino, and Hydro-Man. A Spidey story…as remembered by the villains! The Beetle is back, and he's joining forces with some of Spidey's most notorious foes - Rhino! Boomerang! Hydro-Man! Speed Demon! Introducing the SINISTER SYNDICATE!
