Yeah, Slott himself has often cited the reason Marvel don't put Peter with women long-term very often is because fans will never let go of the "big three" MJ, Felicia, or even Gwen (which is why she's cloned fifteen billion times)
It doesn't help that Slott is a polarizing figure with the Spidey fanbase and his writing of Peter is often heavily scrutinized overall, not just with relationships.
One idea about this issue is it may be a swerve...the story could begin with their break-up, but the lunch date saves it somehow, and that keeps Bobbi in the picture right 'till Slott leaves.
I'm going to make it my business to collect Bobbi's entire run in Amazing Spidey. I think Slott nailed her "voice" and the art was some of the better renditions of the latest Mockingbird look - though not a fan of the energy wings - prefer the sleeves as SHIELD tech gliders.
I don't mind Mock as a substantial supporting character outside of headlining her own title. I do wish they hadn't gone the romantic route and much preferred them as professional with some underlying chemistry that goes unconsummated. Makes for the best story tension.
I've been playing Avengers Academy for the past few weeks and I wasn't sure whether i would get a chance to get Mockingbird or if she was a limited-time offer that I had missed... but with yesterday's update to the game, she popped right up and I had her in five minutes! I'm so excited!

She's gorgeous.
I loved Immonen's version in New Avengers.

"Who wouldn't go out with the Black Widow? I'd strangle a litter of kittens for one dinner with her!"

"Natasha Romanoff, A.K.A. Black Widow - ex-KGB, formerly with S.H.I.E.L.D...Probably the brains of this operation.I have followed her career, and she has been consistently UNDERRATED."
Yes to Immonen’s work in general and his Bobbi. It’s probably the best she’s ever looked.
Sweet, I've never seen that variant before, not even on my usual haunts that help to promote 'con variants.
The inevitable occurred in Amazing Spider-Man today...but I liked it because it was so ordinary and uncomplicated. Just two people realizing they shared little interests together, and Bobbi hung around when Peter finally turned up for lunch. Nothing messy for once.

Oooh she's doing something new on the West Coast?
I hope that the thing Bobbi mentions actually pans out to be something.
This was expected, and while I did think they were cute together, I'm glad they at least still seem to have a rapport with one another. Nice to see Bobbi forming some bonds with the greater Marvel universe. I think Slott really managed to make the most of Bobbi's supporting role, and I appreciate that.
