MJ's strapped for cash, so it's time to join the workforce...aaaaaand it doesn't go all that great. Oh, and who's spreading rumors about MJ being all spoiled and stuck up? Not the best idea in the world to be hatin' on Spidey's girl…
Buy this book, please. It's quite possibly the best Spidey book your money can buy at the moment. I'd like to send Marvel a message that the industry needs and deserves more quality, all-ages work like Mary Jane so that they'll extend Vol. 2 beyond its five-issue limit. Read Full Review
Craig Rosseaus pencilling continues to be an appropriate match to Moores script. His animated, expressive characters fit well with the melodramatic nature of teen drama. Two things grabbed me in the issue as poor in an otherwise good issue. The first is the choice to change Liz Allens hair colour. Now I believe this is a decision made by Terry Moore, but I fail to see the necessity of it. I had no idea who she was when I saw her until Mary-Jane said Liz, it just does not work, she is no longer a recognizable character. The other is the second panel depicting Harry, simply put, he looks like Frankensteins monster. Great match on the art and writer. As a side note, I hate the alternate monkey cover, Marvel's insistence on forcing completely unrelated books to feature covers of this very poor idea is pointless. Its only redeemable feature is Adrian Alphona, who happens to be an amazing artist. Read Full Review
