This is my first Roger Stern issue ever. After reading issue 42 I flew through this one. It didn't drag, it was gorgeous thanks to Mike Zeck. The pacing was great, the introduction of Belladonna and Roderick Kingsley was just natural. As if they had already lived in Spider-Man's world and it makes for a really great transition into Peter's world. I really enjoyed seeing Peter in his college TA environment. Stern is an amazing writer.
