Ron, you are so right, this book was brilliant. The scene where the school nurse relates to Mike about the death of Freddy was incredibly moving. I remember being really cut up about the death of Douglas Adams and feeling silly about being feeling so upset. That scene was so truthfully told it made me cry!
@cutty - the JMS run was brilliant (yeah, whatever...) and really grew Spider-Man into a rounded interesting character. When he reveiled his identity in Civil War it was the perfect thing for the character to do and signalled a new and exiting chapter in the Spider-man saga. However, Joe Quesada bottled it and with OND/BND chopped JMS's story at it's knees and regressed the character 20 years. There are many brilliant stories of Peter Parker hiding his costume from Aunt May and dating groovy chicks - they were by Stan Lee and John Rotima in the 60's.
CB&MI13 was easily one of Marvels best books!
Come on! How many times was Spider-Girl saved from cancelation? And that was a pile of crap!
Everyone, stop moaning and lets work out a way to save the bloody thing!

Not bad. I've read better "paralell worlds" stories but it was quite enjoyable.
2 Questions -
1) Why is this a Dark Reigh crossover - does that just mean it is in current continuity?
2) Was there something wrong with the colouring? It seemed very washed out.
That was amazing! Although, who's dumb idea was it to spoil the last page on the cover?
