Ramos is just doing the covers. The interior art is by Paco Diaz.
Ramos kinda does big boobs. I chalk it up to his exaggerated style. At least they're not static.
Anyway, good to see Flash getting the top spot in the first story.
I'm ashamed at those 2 or 3 posters who mistook skimpy MJ for May Day. tsk tsk
The outfit MJ is wearing on the cover is what she wore on one of the original Spider-Island's covers.
But that wasn't her outfit in-universe during that story.
That was such a practical outfit. It really allowed for alot of mobility and those thigh-high stockings provide a good degree of leg protection.
I've really missed Mayday Spider-Girl and the world of MC2. In some ways, yeah, it was old school writing and a bit more all-ages but in another it felt a little more mature: superheroes were an active part of daily life for more than a generation and incorporated into society as the norm (similar reasons to why I liked pre-New 52 JSA, Astro City, and Top 10).
Considering the social media buzz that tries to pit Millennial values versus Baby Boomers, I can see Mayday's story being even more relevant today than when she debuted. So much of Peter Parker's heroism and anxiety still carries his Silver Age concerns, the kind of 1960s neurosis around guilt and him being a nerd against lunk-headed machismo. From her first adventure onward her heroism is based off of inclusion and empathy, someone that is best friends with the nerds and the jocks and sought to bring Normie Osborn back into a loving community. Like the real world millennials she deals with the good and bad legacies of her parents' generation and tries to establish that while she can honor the past but she's the one that's going to be shaping the future, not her dad.
So, yeah, picking this up for DeFalco's Spider-Girl/Spider-Woman. Voting with the pocketbook for more stories like this in the new Marvel Universe.
To be fair and unbiased, I think even a professional soccer player will be jealous of Peter's legs as depicted on that cover...

Definitely getting this for Mayday. Would prefer it was stand-alone but that's alright since the Spider-Verse story looks interesting with CapWolf and Lizard Hulk.
