4.0

Peter Parker is actually on the verge of a nervous breakdown about 85% of the time in this book and I love it.

Harry returns and Peter panics. The fear of MJ getting hurt again by a Osborn grows after the events of the last few volumes. Poor Gwen. Poor Ben. Peter is at his breaking point here and it's crazy to believe a 16 year old can carry all that weight and not go berserk. His anger gets the better of him, while MJ makes a few mistakes herself, leading Harry to go one on one against Peter as the Hobgoblin shows his face!

It's a pretty screwed up volume, the fight is pretty epic as well. Very raw, with emotion to back up the entire fight. I loved that part and Peter losing himself to fear. The last issue was decent, but kind of cheesy for what I would have wanted. But overall a great volume. A 4 out of 5.
