For the luv of god just keep Gomez on pencils and stop with the rotating artists! Finally get some quality work
I don't think it's about him being weak, Felicia talks like his technique is wack, like he's an amateur, and that's just stupid, guy has been doing this for years, and the one time I remember a problem with his web swinging technique beng mentioned was in Slott's run after he lost the Spider-Sense, and even then, that was just the Spider-Sense subtly guiding him into not shooting a building's weaker parts, so after he lost Spider-Sense, that happened a few times, and that's it really lol.
So yeah, this is stupid, it'd be like if Supergirl tried to teach Superman how to fly, after Supes has already been flying for years lol.
Would have been amazing if this was a real arc, and the Peter and Ben stories had been layered on top of each other. And if some care had gone into showing literally ANY of Ben's successes to justify the "He's Spider-man" now.
Instead we get this pacing abomination where the frankly uninteresting and badly written Peter recovery adventures play out. I love Peter, but as sure as the sun will rise he will be fully recovered and operating as Spider-Man sooner than later. So I am bored to death by his recovery and retraining. Never mind that the Gleason issue was very much not a comic I consider good.
Well’p, they’ve messed with Ben again.

I liked this issue, very entertaining and loved seeing Steve interact with Pete out of costume. spoilers:end of spoilers
The parts with Ben are very interesting, wonder if this is how they’re setting him up to fight Pete in the final Beyond chapter. We’ve seen in most story’s where Peter does not remember that quote (such as Spencer’s first arc), Spidey begins to behave irrationally. Interested to see where this will go. Also the suit Peter wants back from MJ is canonically a knock-off he bought online, so is he going to be canonically wearing a bootleg outfit for a while lol? (Even though Gleason drew it indistinguishable from Peter’s own sewed suits.)
