Aside from the fact that I really dislike this cover, a pretty good Spider-Man volume! The Chameleon storyline was probably the best aspect of this volume, as it was the most tense. I was hooked while reading it, and Peter Parker really can't catch a break. We get a little re-introduction as to what's been happening with MJ between now and Brand New Day, which was a helpful refresher. The art wasn't always my favorite, but you know. It is how it is.
