Within the context of The Gauntlet, I think it's safe to say that this is a good issue. But if you're familiar with the work of Mark Waid, you'd know that this is a spectacular issue. That's because any issue Waid writes in which he doesn't describe - in excruciating detail - the power of love and its ability to transcend all obstacles and overcome even the darkest of blah blah blah is a special thing. Yes, I'm referring to his run on The Flash, which started well but eventually deteriorated into the graphic-novelisation of every Huey Lewis and the News song.
If the post One More Day issues have taught us anything, it's that there is no place for meaningful, romantic relationships in life - or at least in comics. So giving someone like Waid a spot on the Spidey braintrust is like giving Pol Pot the Peace Prize. And I know comparing Waid to one of history's most horrible monsters seems a tad harsh, but those Flash issues really did suck. And let's not forget Kingdom Come - how can anyone steal so much from Alan Moore and still come up with something so boring?
Anyway, this is actually my way of paying Waid a complement. Issue 623 felt right in a lot of ways. The dialogue - as always - was too heavy with exposition, but I think Waid nailed the Spidey vs. Jonah banter. Plus the mystery surrounding the new Vulture was intriguing and it contained some of the best vomit scenes since The Fly. But best of all, there was no mention of Morbius.
Keep up the good work Waid. Hey, you're alright!
