Look Marvel I thought we had deal. You never mention Gabriel Stacy, the horribly conceived (in every sense of the word) love child of Gwen Stacy and *sigh* Norman Osborn who 1st appeared in Sins Past (possibly the only story capable of giving One More Day competition for coveted ‘Worst Spidey Story of All Time’ award), again and we, the fans, will not rise up as one and burn your offices to the ground. Anyway, as this mini draws thankfully to a close, we are left with one giant mess that hopefully we be brushed aside and forgotten about as possible. From the awkward dialogue to the cliche plot developments (oh look another Osborn developing a split personality, how original), this comic is not even bad enough to be entertaining but instead settles for boringly mediocre. This feels like a sub-plot that managed to escape Amazing only to be dumped in radioactive goo (aka Gabriel) and mutated horribly as a result. It says nothing paticulalry new or interesting about any of the characters and the barely adequate art adds nothing to the affair. Bland and utterly missable.

  1. nice review. Full of righteous (and right) vitriol! What did you expect though? Its Brian Reed, he managed to suck for nearly 50 issues of Ms Marvel, not to mention all the other dross he has done.
