Sometimes time skips don't help the story...

I really loved volume 1-2 of this series but volume 3 just comes across as decent. Not because of the new team, they're both actually pretty talented. I especially enjoy Jody Houser writing usually, but here it comes off a little odd. We have Annie in her high school setting now being her high school girl self. You know what that means. Be distant to parents and worry about image and being your true self. Then have Peter worrying about his daughter and MJ coming across as more of background thought here. It doesn't have the family bonding I was hoping for but basically this story covers a lizard story and then new super powered teenagers.

Good: I enjoyed some moments a lot. I thought Peter teaching her that it's not always villains are just pure evil. It was a good teaching moment for annie. I also still think the monologue for all the characters is solid and pretty funny at times. Peter and Annie relationship is still solid.

Bad: MJ doesn't feel like a main character anymore which makes me sad. I also thought the storylines were okayish. I didn't really feel any big emotions on this volume or family moments like volume 1-2.

Overall this was decent but not great. It feels a step back sadly from the previous titles and I kind of blame the time jump. I feel like we could have had a lot more storylines from Annie as a kid. A 2.5 out of 5.
