MJ VERSUS MYSTERIO!
• Mary Jane has learned MYSTERIO is the auteur behind her big break!
• (It figures...who else would make a prestige Mysterio biopic?)
• But HOW is he keeping her on set? And if Mary Jane Watson is under Quentin Beck's direction, Hollywood better watch out!
Rated T
Williams and Gomez are playing with a really unique series that might have a charming opportunity for success in the current era. With entertainment news traveling as quickly as it does, the average movie fan knows a lot more about filmmaking now than ever before. Superhero films are some of the most successful movies there are. A comic book about a super-villain movie inside the Marvel Universe just might be interesting enough to gather readers as the story gains momentum. Read Full Review
I would recommend this one if you are a fan of Mary Jane and Mysterio and want to see how the ending they set up in it works out. Read Full Review
Despite my new interest in Mysterio, Im left scratching my head. Williams does a good job showing MJ as a strong, capable woman (as she should be) who has no problem facing challenges thrown her way (which she shouldnt). She is thrown into the plot of someone elses drama instead of a story about her own development or struggle. The Amazing Mary Jane #2 (Williams, Lopez, Gomez) is an enjoyable story with well-done art, but as Mary Janes first miniseries, it feels like it could be Mysterios first mini instead.

"The Amazing Mary Jane #2" isn't quite certified fresh but it's worth a look if you're interested. Read Full Review
Amazing Mary Jane still struggles to find its voice, but has a unique point of view for the superhero genre as it explores the day-to-day hiccups that come along with set life. Read Full Review
While the cliffhanger does provide a slight glimmer of hope, it can't save this issue. MJ is a truly great character, but unfortunately doesn't get a chance to shine in her own book. This series should really be called "The Mystery of Mysterio's Missing Self-Esteem". Because it's been ALL about him so far. Read Full Review
After a dismal first issue, The Amazing Mary Jane continues to walk a path towards a new genre, something that might be described as "anti-comics." Read Full Review
"They'd recognize the triumph that this film would become ! The Adward would win..."
- MYSTERIO
It's a fun read, but it still somewhat fails to properly grab my attention.
Not as big a fan of this issue as the first, but it was still fine.
Its actually a fun read but theres not much to it
This had a few good moments, but was mostly the same as the last one for me.
I still think this series is caught between trying to do a sincere melodrama and trying to satirize one at the same time. It doesn't help that the "Hollywood backlot intrigue" genre is way, WAY harder than it looks.
And I think the key criticism raised in the Weird Science review deserves more attention: After MJ complained last issue about her movie character being a mere satellite to the male protagonist, she spends this entire issue orbiting Mysterio. While it might be possible to earn some irony points off the juxtaposition, I don't think this script actually does anything along those lines.
