Ben felt more like Ben in this issue. Him and Peter where the highlights for me.
As a big MJ fan it feels weird to say but I would like less of her. Same with May but that is not the first time I have felt so. I wonder why Wells is struggling so much with MJ. He's a good writer but with MJ it feels like he is off. Perhaps he has some opinions and feelings(doesn't have to be "bad" ones) regarding the character that is throwing him off.
I'm hoping for more focus on Ben and Janine now going forward. The whole beyond plot feels very obvious atm and It's not drawing me in. The more Ben ignores them and does what he wants(like he did with vissiting Peter) will make the story more enjoyable as it allows Ben to be more of the old Ben instead of this part of the beyond intrigue.

He's already back on track though.Now if they can 1)keep it that way 2)get good writers(for their bestseller it's the least they can do) 3)Stop taking him out of his own comics we'll be good
Also Miles is growing up way too fast as compared to everyone else in the MU, from 13 to 18 in like 10 years.And his role in 616 is teen Spidey at best, they better stop aging him otherwise his entire existence in 616 will be moot.Heck even in 1610 his young age was a big factor.
He's mid 20's now:
(ASM#14 vol 5)
So yeah, Marve de-aged him lol.
Editors stop getting so much in the way too.
On the 5 minutes he was that young lol.Also Miles is growing up way too fast as compared to everyone else in the MU, from 13 to 18 in like 10 years.And his role in 616 is teen Spidey at best, they better stop aging him otherwise his entire existence in 616 will be moot.Heck even in 1610 his young age was a big factor.
Kinda funny Ultimate refused to let Peter go over 15, only when he died he got to be 16, then Miles' aging is basically a speedrun...

He has on his late twenties post superior:
(ASM#1 vol 3)
But at some point after this, Marvel seems to have changed their minds about when those earliest stories happened, and not just in Spider-Man too, 'cause for example, Powers of X#1 says that it's currently "Year 10":

(Kinda funny the link has "LoX" at the end, new book confirmed? )
So if anything, it's consistent with them for Spidey to be on his mid 20's and not late 20's, it's just completely lame to make such a change for the characters to become a few years younger lol.
At this point, I would believe that fucking up is part of the job lol.Facts, like you have one job and it's literally to stop f*cking up
Nah, I wanna see Miles inexplicably becoming older than PeterAgreed, they need to stop/slow that down
Question is who would call them out? Higher ups decided to change the time scale so the beginning only happened 10 years ago, meaning they really want those characters to be younger lol.
This is from ASM#546 (I deduced it was the case 'cause it was trying too hard to mock marriage fans, and that's something BND really did on the first issue lol.), so yeah, it's Slott.
They want it to be stuck at 10 years since the MU started indefinitely. I choose to ignore all that. Peter is 29-31 in my book and the MU started 15 years ago or so. I don’t care what some new flavor-of-the-month writer tells me in his cringe dialogue.
