Rated T+
Its refreshing to see this sort of story handled with a better grasp of a long-term story arc. Read Full Review
The highlight of this issue, for me, was seeing Gwen deal with this problem in her own unique way. Nobody could have done what she did. At least, not the way she did it. And she did it all while dealing with some intense emotions. It just goes to remind us that our heroes have to deal with a lot, and still get the job done. Read Full Review
Artist Takeshi Miyazawa makes good use of the sharp differences in the characters' designs, focusing on the imposing size of Man-Wolf versus the speed, strength, and agility of our hero. The pair trade verbal barbs, but despite Gwen's rage she doesn't go too far in taking the monster down. Worth a look. Read Full Review
After making a big show of the baddie, Man-Wolf makes nothing but a whimper, and fans will be too disappointed to even perk up at the issue's promising cliffhanger because of such. Read Full Review
Gwen gets furious after the concert bombing and puts the Man-Wolf down fast and hard. It looks and sounds dang good. This wraps up a bit faster than you might expect, but it's thoroughly satisfying. Certain rules hold in every AU: You mess with the Spider's loved ones, he/she pulls out all the stops to take you down.
Things mostly wrap up a bit too quickly but I liked this.
Pretty good.
