Curious that they list Kaare Andrews on the credits.
It could just be a back-up story or something.

In honor of 616 Peter's current status quo -
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I'm ... not sure you know what that means.
I mean, the scene I described would just be the subtext of Wells' run fully realized.
Think of the kinds of subtext you get in cuckold porn. Same ones you get in the Peter/MJ/Paul love triangle, right? The latest issue even has MJ crack a joke on how Paul has better underwear (read:better penis ... and yeah, Kelly wrote it, but he was undeniably working off Wells' notes).
Except that when the guys in porn call the guy in the corner a loser, it's an act. When Wells implies Peter is a loser for it, he means it.
This weird conversation oriented around Peter being 'cucked' by Paul is pretty gross, IMO.
