Rated T
It is hard to be too critical of this series, as they have thus far been successful in creating a story which should have never sounded compelling enough to realize. Although that is still the case here, The Amazing Mary Jane #4 feels as though it is losing some momentum. Read Full Review
Amazing Mary Jane #4 (Williams, Gomez, & Lopez) hits the sweet spot. Drawing on Williamss ability to craft strong dialogue with an emotional weight between characters, this issue shows character depth without dragging away from the tension building for the conclusion in the next issue.

Williams manages a balance between the Hollywood drama and the more traditional superhero-style action that feels more or less appealing. Theres clearly more than enough going on in Williams story to hold interest together for many, many issues to come. The problem is going to lie in keeping the action consistent without compromising the fact that at its heart, this IS a series about a Hollywood actress in a world of superheroes. Read Full Review
The Amazing Mary Jane is a story that makes as little sense as the one being produced in its page. Read Full Review
I thought this issue was a lot of fun, and any interaction between Pete and MJ is usually a highlight for me. Which is why, with the series getting extended, I'm excited for the next arc in New York. But this arc is cool too. I think the conversation between MJ and Master Matrix was a very necessary and good conversation, and I was extremely into that part.
Oh also, Chase Magnett is still the worst critic in comics. "Let's give Amazing Mary Jane #4 a 2, but let me tell you, that Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child one-shot was a perfect 10."
At this point this book is what it is. Its not what I expected and its nothing that great but, to me, it has a lot of charm and this was probably the best issue yet.
This comic's art is nicely refined, but it's a bit too much of a throwback to the "pose every woman in every panel in a cheesecake-y way; it's not like we've got female readers" days.

It’s a weird choice to have her playing Spider-Man with absolutely no alteration or padding on her body but okay.
