The story isn’t too shabby either. Unlike so many other mid-arc stories, I felt like I got a little meat and potatoes instead of several pages filled with nothing but action. Tons of characters get pulled into the act, but somehow it fits like peanut butter and jelly. Except for the inclusion of the now annoying Mary Jane (Not Parker) Watson. So much to love, why shoe-horn this whiny, bratty red head? Beside that, Waid handles things well, and I’m glad Marvel chose him to close things out. Of all the myriad or writers involved with the title, he has always had a clear grasp on what makes the character so special.
