This week's issue had a lot of focus on MJ as she reconnected with another BND era character (I think you can all guess which one) and learned of a new support group for the loved ones of heroes called The Lookouts.

It's a pretty blatant rip-off of DC's Sanctuary lol, except it is meant for superhero "supports" instead of the superheroes themselves.
Here's hoping MJ fares better at The Lookups than the redheads at Sanctuary.
Really liked the artist for the MJ sections - Michele Bandini. Dunno if he can pull off the Spidey sections, but if he can, I'd love to see him doing full issues, instead of just Ramos. Though I hope Spencer can keep his scripts far enough ahead so Ottley doesn't need fill ins.
People are drawing a lot of comparisons to Sanctuary, understandably, but this feels unique, to me. It's more like family of military support groups than therapy for the military directly, which is what Sanctuary is supposed to be.
It's definitely going to cause plot problems, though! Otherwise, why include it!

It can't be a copy of Sanctuary because A. it had to be planned too early, early this year at the very latest, and B. one of Spencer's things with his Marvel work is creating things that would logically exist in the Marvel Universe, but don't. So of course there would be a support group for people related to heroes because they would need it, the same way in Superior Foes he created the support group for failed super villains. They're such unique positions that normal support groups can't deal with.

I think this pretty succinctly displays the different views Mary Jane and Carlie have when it comes to their relationship with Peter in a way it wasn't during BND or the Slott era.
I was just about to ask about the art because that really didn't look like Ramos.

Well, King had been talking about a "crisis centre for superheroes" since the start of the year. The operated by robots/drones thing could have been added later on.
Anyways, not really complaining. I just hope The Lookups don't suffer the same fate as Sanctuary's patients, is all.
Unless this story ties into an event comic, I don't see how it would. This is still a Spider-Man comic, and a number of those characters are not Spider-Man related. I mean, we saw MJ had been killed in a Jessica Jones comic and she ended up being fine at the end of that issue.
