Tales of the Marvel Universe takes place in that quiet time between when the heroes were believed dead and when they would make their inevitable return. This one-shot title contains a variety of stories wherein those that remain take care of old business. Ka-Zar feels the loss even in the Savage Land; the friends of the Fantastic Four hatch a scheme to keep their equipment from being impounded by the government; Rhodey (War Machine) hatches a similar scheme to prevent Fujikawa from learning all of Tony Stark’s secrets; and Doctor Strange learns that the heroes are not truly dead.

This is an entertaining comic for regular Spidey readers, with a fairly deep knowledge of Spidey's background, and a decent understanding of the clone saga. As I said, there are a lot of inside jokes. It is worth zippo to anybody that is new to Spider-man. The script is clever, and the art was acceptable, although not great. Many people were not satisfied by the revelations in Spider-man 75 and the Osborn Journal, but this issue proves that it could have been a lot worse. Mary Jane's a hologram?!
