The guy who wrote a lot of Wally's relationship with Linda talked shit about MJ? Seriously now? That's baffling.
Peter is a bit too serious at times, and the idea of the story is really silver age ("Spidey teams up with this woman who may be his sister have to stop Kingpin from getting secret nazi gold!"), but it's fun enough.
I think the characters involved were mind wiped, poor Spidey, having someone who hates him that much and not even knowing it was all Bendis' fault
.
Hm, I think that novel ended up saying at the end that Pity isn't his sister.
Wonder if the novel explained why she has those powers.
It also helps that Ultimate Spidey is Bendis' interpretation of the character, so him sounding weird compared to the usual Spider-Man is less bad because that was Bendis' own version, and that doesn't work when he writes 616 Spidey, who is not supposed to sound like he's 15 again, specially considering he didn't sound like that when he was 15.
