The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 6: Happy Birthday
by J. Michael Straczynski
Happy Birthday Spider-Man!
What starts off as Peter dealing with a asshole of a staff member at school becomes a cosmic threat that'll end all humanity as Dr. Strange tries his best to stop impending doom. This gives a chance for Spider-Man to go back in time and see all the major choices and fights of his life in issue 500. It's a pretty great issue with a lot of heart, and a somber but well thought out ending. The last two issues is May still coming to terms with Peter as Spidy and about sometimes we have to stop bad things from happening even if it might come back at us.
A well crafted, heartfelt, and enjoyable volume. Strazynski just knows how to write characters, especially Peter, MJ, and May. This feels like a real family unit, with real issues, while also tackling superhero elements. I can't get enough of this run and remember why I loved it so much growing up. A 4 out of 5.
