My nephew liked Spider-Man Versus the Lizard, but this book was very familiar. The story is the same as an episode that he and I watched from the 1967 Spiderman cartoon series, so we were already quite familiar with the plot of this one. My nephew did enjoy this book, but he really seemed to be against the idea of lizard monsters running around in purple pants and lab coats. After all, lizards don't wear clothes. What can I say? Apparently the boy likes his superhero books to be realistic. :-)
