#447 was a battle-fest and also included a rare appearance by Spidey in
Thor's title.
The storyline concluded in Thor #448 which also included Titania...Thor has fought The Absorbing Man more than any other hero in the Marvel Universe with many appearances in Journey Into Mystery and Thor...The most recent meeting between Spidey and Crusher has been ion the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #429...The Absorbing Man has been one of those Marvel Villains that NEVER seem to go away!
