Rated T
The series has spent nearly its entire first half year trying to find the right rhythm. A nearly issue-length talk show is rarely attempted. There WAS that oddly memorable time back in 1984 when the Avengers appeared on Late Night with David Letterman for almost the full-length of issue #239, but it wasnt handled nearly as cleverly as it is here. Leah Williams shows a considerable talent for constructing a solidly entertaining story in an issue that is smartly rendered for the page. Read Full Review
It's a fun opening chapter for this new story that's easy to jump into if you missed the first few issues of the series. Read Full Review
Amazing Mary Jane #6 (Williams, Gomez, Carlos, Martello, & Lopez) moves forward to a new story while seeming to only take the best of the arc before to make an enjoyable and engaging story. Read Full Review
I liked this sixth issue thanks to the unique nature of the story and how good it is at making Mary Jane feel heroic and powerful. A strong first issue as it lays bare the egomania of Hollywood before nowheresville sets in for the rest of the story arc. Read Full Review
Yeah, this is slowly turning into one of my favorite titles, annoyance at Mary Jane being out of New York again aside. I hope Peter actually does manage to figure out what's going on, so we can see theses two together, like we all want.
I did enjoy this one much more than the first arc. Finally something a bit more exciting happening in this book.
It started silly, become interesting... and back to being annoying.
I don’t know, it all just feels so hectic and contrived? Maybe that’s just me, maybe I’m just a hater.
Mary Jane's publicity work for the movie is complicated by the arrival of the real Cage McKnight -- and an assassin who appears to be targeting her. There's a decent slate of artists on board (though the stylistic differences are distracting) and there's a solid plot-skeleton in the script. The pace is disjointed, though, and the dialogue tends to take wrong turns.
I loved the first arc of this series, but i didn't like anything about this one.
