I'm trying to give this storyline a fair shake I really am but Marvel Creative is making it harder and harder to do so with each passing issue. Still, I'll reserve final judgment until I see where this is going.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Being fairly old, I'm betting I'm more of a "long time" Spidey fan than you. So I will that that while this Spidey fan is very leery about where this is going but there's no storyline that will ever make me so mad that I'll stop reading my back issues!
They could make Peter into a serial killer and at the very least I'd still be like "Well, at least I've got the Lee/Ditko run!"
That said, I just really hope they've put some real thought and care into where this storyline with May is going.
If they intend this to be her swan song, fine. I respect that (even if I think it's mistake to lose the character). And if they want to have her go through this only to make a recovery and remission through treatment, ok. I think it's a bit cheap to have a character that cheats death so often threatened with a disease that kills so many in real life but, fine...I'll just pass on reading it without actually being offended by it.
But if, as some fear, it's going to be another magic fix at the end...I would not blame anyone for being pissed. I mean, come on.
For what it's worth, though, I'm pretty sure that's not the route they're going to take.
Yes! That was a whole other thing that made me throw my hands up in disgust! I couldn't believe it.
And Spidey really doesn't take any responsibility for breaking the kid's wrist. He takes him to Dr. Strange for help but pretty much lets himself off the hook.
If it's any consolation, I don't see this title making it too much farther.
Better luck with the next Spidey satellite book.
...One good thing I will say about this issue is that Yildiray Cinar's art was top-notch. I hope the Spider Office offers him some more work.

What the hell guys?! It wasn't even the worst Spider-Man book! Oh my goodness.

I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
In addition to what's already been said about this development, I'm annoyed that the current canon has Aunt May STILL in the dark about Peter as Spider-Man.
What story mileage are we getting out of that?? My only guess is it's leading to an "I always knew" as in the PS4 game, which only works if May actually dies, which won't happen.
