Y'know, I seriously thought I was done with Spider-Man after Slott's run. There were a lot of great stories and Slott's last story seemed like the perfect end. I wasn't impressed with the previews of Spencer's run. Yeah, it seemed fun and cool, but hey, I had nearly 10 yrs. worth of fun and cool stories to keep me occupied. If it was more of the same, eh, you could have counted me out.
HOWEVER, I got the issue. Man, that was a great, GREAT issue! To keep it short, it has a lot of the elements of a good Spider-Man issue, while acknowledging the past, while having the hallmarks of Spencer's writing (deep emotional moments, sucker punch moments during the deep emotional moments, and fantastic villain characterization). So yeah, holy crap, I'll continue to read this series.
As for the big reveal, c'mon, we all know this won't last, right? Now, I know there will be some cool moments and storytelling elements. I'm all for it as well. But seriously, how many times have writers teased this?
In any case, okay Marvel, I'll play along
