I originally gave this a 1 since I was so heated at what this did for Spider-Man back in the day.

Now reading it, it's not AS bad as I remember, but still feels SO forced.

Basically Peter just can NOT get over May dying. The idea that he blames himself lines up with Spidy but the fact he can't accept her death because he blames himself, despite all 3 of them making the choice for Peter to come out makes no sense to me. It just feels forced drive behind Peter's action. MJ even says the truth, May had a long life, a good one, and it's time to let go. But nope, they don't. Either way we get some rushed storyline of what ifs, and a surprise fuck you to Peter on who could have been in his life, including his daughter, which I did like. It is nice too when you see the status quo get reset at the end, brings up some hope for the series, but it feels just kind of weak in general the way it was done and forced because they backed Peter into a corner and didn't know how to get him out.

A 2 out of 5.
