 This series does not having anything to do with the mainline happenings of the Marvel Universe and is not even set in the same time, with Ol’ Petey Parker still in high school, hence does not figure prominently in my ‘reading’ radar. Even the issues are sort of a hit or miss, and while the last issue was a major ‘miss’, this one was an equally impressive hit (if not more).

May Parker is one of my favorite ‘non-hero’ characters, in the league of Alfred Pennyworth (Batman). I always enjoy reading a good May-Peter story, and this was one of them. It reminded me the dynamic that the two share in the Ultimate Universe. In fact, with just a couple of changes, this story would have worked as a great introduction for the Ultimate version of the Chameleon, the villain of this issue. The only thing that I liked better than the ‘real’ May-Peter interaction was the one between the ‘Chameleon’ May and Peter/Spidey.

There isn’t much in the form of a story, but instead of taking anything away from the reading (enjoying) experience, it adds to it. Suffice to say it is a case of ‘seeing double’ (phrase from the issue) for the flustered, cornered and ‘perennially’ on the run web-crawler. At no point, not even in the school scenes, does the writer (Zeb Wells) let up on the pace, and even though Patrick Scherberger does tend to ‘point’ his chins quite a bit, it is nevertheless clear and complementary to the story writing, as is Guru eFX’s colors. I especially liked his matching (consciously or subconsciously) of the eye-colors for the Mays (blue and purple).

Maybe there could have been things that could have been done differently to make this better….but not as far as I am concerned.

Conclusion: Thoroughly enjoyable. A keeper.
