Oh hey, Otto's here. And he's asking for Spider-man's help. Maybe they'll throw us SpOck fans a bone--wait, no. He's a full blown blustering idiot again. Fun.
Oh hey it's Flash. Wait...this is how you reveal that Flash is alive again to Peter? As a throwaway line? Soooooo much wasted potential. Also I find it REALLY hard to believe that his symbiote could be nullified so easily.
Oh Hey, Anna Maria. People remember you exist. Wait, your only contribution to this issue is to state that you essentially want to jump Otto's bones? To hell with all the character development and the genuinine friendship you developed with him in Superior Vol 2? To the point that you encouraged him to hook up with Emma? Remember that marvel??
Oh hey Bobbi. We haven't seen you in Spider-man in.....what...five or so years? You sure as hell haven't been his bodyguard in a while. Seems like you're only there to create friction with Felicia. And speaking of...
Oh hey, Peter and Felicia? Okay. Fine. While I don't mind the pairing, it LITERALLY came out of left field. At least give us a reason. Show the two of them growing closer in the wake of whatever happened with MJ. Make it mean something instead of "Oh hey, Peter and Felicia are a thing now.". It's also hard to get invested when 1) they seem to be hinting that Peter and MJ are going to get back together AGAIN and 2) Even if they aren't hinting at it, it's REALLY hard to get invested in a relationship when Marvel has shown an absolute willingness to disregard any type of character and relationship building on a whim. |
