That artwork is so nice! I wish Cinar was the main artist on this book.

As for the preview, I hope there's more to it than just a couple of pages of those two.

Well this was stupid. Don’t make any threats you can’t follow through with, Marvel!

Sorry, but how can I take this seriously when she’s already died and come back a couple times?

Follow through and kill her off for real this time. Marvel lost their balls in the 90s and death has been a joke ever since.

All I'll say is this. I will reserve further comment until I see how this storyline (the Aunt May one) plays out. I don't trust myself to remain level headed about the subject matter (a real-life potentially fatal illness being used for another possible Aunt May fake out death) until I see where this one goes and how it gets there.

I demand death!

Same. I will say that I'm not happy about May having yet another brush with death.

I think grave illnesses can be utilized in comic book storylines and be done tastefully but in the case of May, a character who's cheated death on more than one occasion, it runs the heavy risk of being cheap and exploitative.

I'm just hoping that the writers and editors would not commit to this storyline unless the end game was worth it.

If all we're going to get out of this, though, is months of angst and then a miracle cure, that puts a sour taste in my mouth.

But...we'll see where they take it.

I certainly hope Cancer is not simply being used as a plot device to sell comic books, and tease Spider-Man fans with the possible end of OMD, without it happening. But of course Marvel has been known to use distasteful storylines before ( see Sins Past as one example). Not to mention, storylines of Aunt May dying or in extreme peril, have been going on since the 'Master Planner Saga' ( ASM 31-33), so I will believe she is joining Uncle Ben and Captain Stacy in Heaven and never coming back, in around 2050 ( assuming I live that long).

It's nice, but the current Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is kinda like a Spectacular Spider-Man or Peter Parker: Spider-Man: a B-title, with the B-team that provides B-stories, apart from the main A-team and A-stories. Not to say B-teams and stories are not great, but for instance, I've consistently loved Paul Jenkins over J Michael Straczynski, but due to writing traditional, light hearted Spider-Man stories over edgier events, Jenkins will most likely get the less attention from the readers.

Well well well! This was a great issue! Love the character work. My only wish was that it was longer, and dealt a little more with Aunt May and her headspace.

Great issue with one huge shit moment for me. Peter Parker, science genius, only know chemo is boring after doing research. And he brings coffee... Fucking coffee. Man, I try, I try to find something in this that makes some kind of sense. Like, maybe the writer had a moment in time where he was directly involved with cancer, like a loved one or even himself, and this situation made them just want to bring some kind of light to cancer. But Fuck... wow. Peter says he researched, and chemo is boring, and Aunt May, I want you to get better, here’s some coffee. Wow.
Obviously I have some knowledge on the matter, that’s why I’m so emotionally connected. I love Spider-Man, Peter Parker, I’ve followed his stories for a long time. I’ve read a lot of great material and some bad. Some of what I read was a bit distasteful, like Sins Past. Pero coño. Double mierda and carajo.

Fucking coffee... Que hijueputa.

No typos at the end.That’s Spanish.

You say it's great, but then you just talk about why it's not. If it were truly "great" it would've handled the cancer subplot with a bit more finesse, instead of Peter acting more concerned with stealing cars than his Aunt's chemo.

Ok. Yeah. Something like that. You hustle is truly hypnotizing. Thank you for the lesson.
