This book's got a tough job to do. It has to sell us the new "official" version of Peter & Mary Jane's history. Joey Q. was smart to take this one on himself, but lucky for him the job is a lot easier now than it would've been a year ago. The prologue is almost painfully meta, as a present-day Peter and Mary Jane basically debate wether Brand New Day was worth it. I cannot imagine how this scene would've played if it had come out on the heels of One More Day. There may have been riots. On the Internet, anyway.
But we are very much in a post-Brand New Day world. We've had a couple of year's of solid storytelling from Amazing Spider-Man, probably the best I've read in my adult life. So coming in to this book, whether my rational brain likes it or not, the emotional side of me wants to buy the new continuity almost as badly as Marvel wants to sell it to me. Lucky for both of us, the story is actually sturdier than I thought it would be.
The art changes are a bit jarring, though i did like how clearly they distinguished between material that was coming from the original Annual and the parts of the story they were filling in with new material. The final changeover to the new continuity is downright seamless. I'll be sticking around for the run. Trouble is, as a self-professed Marvel zombie, I'm an easy sell. Will the comics community accept this new history? My hunch is that they will.
