Really didn't need Peter Parker coming back. Kind of irrelevant now with Secret Wars and all, but still. ( )

I like Miles! Unfortunately for me, this little run is way too short and skimpy. I read about Parker's death, I read Superior Spider-Man, but I missed the whole Ultimates run and Galacticus, so just trying to get to know Miles for the first time here is not exactly the smartest thing I could have done. *sigh*

Still, I love the spoilers. The whole passing-the-mantle thing. Primo. The art's good. The story is pretty decent. I love what's happened to Green Goblin. I can chew the cud on this one for a bit.

So how do I like Miles? Well, I wasn't too worried that I would think that he was a PC stand-in for Pete, because I've read too many reviews from ppl I trust that set me straight on it. He's a cool dude. And I agree. I just wish the run could get away with using the actual #*%&%$# words. :)

Very solid, but something about it made me wish there was something deeper and developed about it. Of course, I had the same complaint with Bendis's whole Ultimate Spidey run. Quick, polished, and always pretty light. Except, of course, when he killed off Pete. But fortunately for us, we live in a comic world where death isn't really permanent, so yay! ( )
