I happen to agree with you. Characters become more relatable by seeing they are not working 24/7
The sad thing is you see less and less of that in Marvel.I think about Thor when not only did he have romance with Sif and Jane Foster, but had fun with The Warriors 3. When that happened, I lost interest in Thor.
I agree. Not that I think I implied anything otherwise. I actually criticized Symbiote Spider-Man #2 for lacking spending any time on Peter's personal life after the first issue did it really well. For me, I just think this worked better with the Kraven/vision panels and recap as the first page. I also thought the amount of pages spent on the two lacked any real emotion for the most part. So it is not that moments like this are unwanted or uninteresting, it just made for a very boring start to the book, and I think that effectively 4 pages dedicated to this scene could have gone a lot farther.
If you really look at the entire run, Spencer's been very new reader friendly for each issue, especially compared to other series. Pretty much every issue has had a half a page or a page worth of flashback or recap of previous issues or arcs, which while we may not think its completely necessary, its not a huge problem, especially with how consistent he's been with it.
Also, is it just me, but there seemed something off about Ottley's art in this issue, though I realized that's due to the change of colourist, with Mark Morales doing it instead of Cliff Rathburn.
Digging that preview. I've been warming up to Peter and MJ back together and seeing them at Hudson Yards is just fantastic (reminds me that I gotta check this place out soon. Nice to see Spencer reiterating Spider-Man's connection to the city.)
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
Kindred promised to protect Mary Jane. who promised to protect Mary Jane in the past?
This is my bet: Carlie Cooper (MJ's friend who who tried to fill Peter's romantic interest void and disappeared when she failed) and Cindy Lawton (new character, then the obvious suspect), both are identities of the same demon (maybe even Jill Stacy for the same reasons as Carlie) related to Mephisto (Does Blackheart have another sister?)

well Carlie did resurface during Spencer's run and steer MJ towards a support group. i would die laughing if one of those pixelated group attendees was Kindred in full demonic garb.

i hope the doctors at ravencroft don't start becoming sympathetic to the villains-- again--
