- I love Ana Maria making the point that someone should've made to Peter years ago, that "great responsibility" doesn't mean "all the responsibility." Word. It's hard to believe that Peter just now realizes that the fire and police services can actually handle routine problems, like ringing alarms, attempted robberies, and small fires. But, better late than never.
- I love
Spidey and Ms. Marvel together. I'm glad that Gage has Spidey take on
board Kamala, telling her that "this sort of super smash-up" is his
specialty. As the original teen superhero, he'd be an asshole if he told her to sit on the sidelines while the adults fought. Plus, their interaction is just adorable.
Her barrage of questions about Carol is hilarious, but Peter's response is even better: "Yes, there was a date. Let's leave it there, okay? That's what she did." Amazing.
- Minerva's plan makes
total sense. Seriously. Usually, super-villains have totally
hare-brained schemes, but stealing an Inhuman still undergoing
terrigenesis to use his/her "still-maleable genes" to undo the Kree's
evolutionary dead-end totally works for me.
- Spidey
has a history with the masked henchman? I can't wait to discover who it
is. Hopefully it's not Hydro-Man, but someone obscure, like Ox.
- The
most interesting part of the Captain Spider-Britain back-up story --
besides Morlun killing Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends -- is the
connection to the ongoing plot of "New Avengers." By connecting the stories,
we're definitely given some evidence that the rumors that Marvel is building
to a major collapse of the space/time continuum next summer isn't too
far off base.
- Speaking of Spidey and his Amazing Friends: ouch, Dan Slott. Don't mess with the '80s, bro.
