What in the heck happened to this series? I really enjoyed the first several trades, but the story line is just dragging along right now. It feels like Bendis is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to potential plots.
I only read this book a couple of days ago, and I'm having trouble
The real thing that bothers me is how much of a jerk Peter is to Mary Jane. He goes psycho on her more than once, telling her that she needs to stay away from Harry without explaining. How hard would it be for him to say, "Hey, MJ, stay away from this dude because I think he wants to kill me no matter what act he's putting on now" instead of blowing up at her repeatedly? What a brat. And, of course, it's all MJ's fault, because she's a stupid woman who just won't listen. I've wondered in the past if Bendis has a serious issue with women, and this is only hammering home that idea.
This book adds nothing to the Ultimate line. Even if you're a fan of Ultimate Spidey, you're not missing anything if you skip this trade.
