275. Web of Spider Man vol 1 #2 ... Marvel ...

A looooooong time ago, launching a new series for an existing character is important and not to be taken lightly especially for a popular character. Amongst some of the issues to be considered would include over-saturation

So from Amazing Spider-Man, we had Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man and Marvel Team-Up. And then after 150 issues, it was time to call it a day before the team launches a new title called Web of Spider-Man (this is not counting reprints like Marvel Tales) ... so basically it was a decision made to have had enough tales of Spider-Man always meeting other heroes every month and going back to a proper Spider title that has a focus on the supporting team in his life

And the first issue dealt with some heavy stuff - Venom (at that time known as the black costume!)

So for issue 2?

We have the Vulturions. This is a group of cons who met the Vulture in the slammer and copied his tech. Then they got out of prison and decided to use the tech to commit crimes. The only challenge is that they are stupid to fight Spidey and decided to carry weapons for the next encounter. Why next encounter? Because they think they now want to be Kingpin's assassin

So they actually call up Kingpin to view as they attacked Spider-Man. Talk about losers! What's next? Their timing because Kingpin is not in a good mood and they did the show in front of him! This is quite a sweet turn in storyline

About the only thing that works is the costumes look better than the Vulch's!
