Art: Paolo Rivera, Joe Quesada, Danny Miki, Richard Isanove
Last issue explained how the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane never happened. This time the team explains why they stayed together after what happened in the wedding. Those Spider-Man comics over the years with Peter and MJ still happened right?
While last issue mixed new content with panels from "The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21," this time it's all new content from the Quesada and Rivera. As a result, this issue flows a little better than the last one.
The issue opens up immediately where the last one ended. Spider-Man trying to find MJ to give her an explanation why he missed the wedding but ended up getting shut down by MJ. She asks Peter to finally give up being Spider-Man but to no avail. MJ then talks with her aunt Anna who tells her to give Peter a second chance.
This is the scene where Quesada gives us why these two stayed together after their disaster wedding. If not for those years of marriage where Peter and MJ were married, I bet these two would easily just break up right there. Apparently, MJ wants to marry Peter because she wanted kids. But since she can't marry Peter because of Spider-Man, which means not having kids, the two just stay together without getting married. Well in my opinion, that's a plausible explanation from Quesada.
On the other hand, Quesada's explanation on how Aunt May survived the gunshot from OMD is not so good. I mean, what the hell happened there?!
Quesada's art is still a pain to the eyes in this issue. It makes me wonder what happened because back in OMD, his art looked fantastic. Thankfully, we have Paolo Rivera on board and his art shined throught the whole issue. His art has some dynamicism to it and really captures the emotions of the characters.
Overall, the issue is good until the ending. Rivera's art really helped the issue remain strong and the how Peter and MJ still stayed together is acceptable. Now we are left on how Peter's identity became a secret again and how the couple broke up.
Rating: 3.5/5
