Spider-Man: The Death of Jean DeWolff by Rich Buckler, Peter David, Sal Buscema
4.0

Pretty dark look into someone who loses all his mental stability.

With the death of Jean Dewolff, both Spider-man and Daredevil seem to be chasing the same man. Sin Eater is out there killing people who he finds, well, sinful. It's simple enough but it's actually the look into someone's mind and how fractured it can become after years of doing a certain job. The second half deals with trying to fix past mistakes and watching how it all comes together to a bitter but nearly perfect ending really worked.

I have to say Peter is kind of a dickhead in a lot of this. I wonder if it's because of the black suit, but was this even the venom side of him? Or he just wore a black suit? He just came off as irrational a lot of the time and talking out of his ass. But besides that I really enjoyed everything else, and though dated, the dialogue holds up reasonably well.

A 3.5 out of 5, but I'll bump it to a 4 for that ending.
