I don't dislike him myself but he definitely feels like he's just kind of there compared to May.
Although now I wonder if Hickman wanted to write siblings again after his FF run.
Same.
I'm fine with his panel time. We are only 3 issues in. That's only half of the first trade volume.
A lot of the "this character hasn't done much" talk I see strikes me as way too premature. Almost like we are so desperate for a good Spider-Man book we forgot Hickman is still setting things up.
It's actually amazing how many characters Hickman explored in just 3 issues (Peter, May, Jonah, Ben, and parts of Harry and MJ). I'm sure they'll all get their due. Most writers aren't this economical with just 3 issues. Bendis was still on the origin.

I hope Ben doesn't die, simply because Ben being alive is a big part of what makes this version distinct. There are other things, of course, but to me having a version of Spider-Man where Uncle Ben is alive is something I think is interesting to explore.
It's also a version of Spider-man where Peter wasn't actually that close to Aunt May.

It's weird. Like he was with his parents longer even if he still got raised by Ben and May but also May's loss still feels like it's hit Peter the least (though it's still only a 3rd issue).
