But this is not to say that I didn't enjoy this issue, nor that it is non-sensical in a time-frame sense. It's just a bit of a warping of and flexing or stretching of the usual comic-book convention of flashbacks and honestly would you expect Bendis to not do something like that in one of the best comic book titles ever? (That last sentence just gave me a headache, so skip if if you want.) The point is that sometimes it feels like Bendis is using this title as a Writing Assignment, but he does it so well and brings so much character development to the table that it never bothers me.
Spidey's quips with Beetle (or, The Wiggle) were great. The spider-fly chase thing was a lot of fun. Besides the fact that he's a villain (and he attacked Pete), I really kind of liked The Beetle and felt sorry for him in a way. Here's this annoying kid trying to make friendly while totally wrecking his play. Plus which, if he's messing with Roxxon, he can't be all bad. Uh, who is this based on, I forget? Is there a Beetle villain in regular Marvel? I think so but I don't remember much about him.
Anyway, the heart of this book is really Pete and Mary Jane and this issue delivers on that front with two really well-done scenes where MJ is nagging Pete that he needs to go to a doctor. Oh, and the art continues to delight. It's really interesting that I don't miss Bagley at all. Immonen has managed to take over from a great artist that had basically imprinted himself onto this title, and made the transition nearly seamless while still establishing his own style . When is Ultimate Cloak & Dagger coming? I really want this now.
Art: 4 - Very Good
There WAS a Beetle villian. I seem to remember him throwing down with Daredevil.
Immonen is good, but I miss Bagley.
Immonen rocked this issue, the action was fantastic! Bagley was good but since Immonen signed on I have been loving this book.
