nomadtla's review against another edition

A decent story that does more with Peter Parker than with Spider-Man. The "trap" and "death" here is so glazed over that it is almost a non-issue. Yes we know he is comming back by the end of the arc but that's no reason to half-ass the magnitude of what is happening. The MJ and dating stories in issue 605 are both better than the plot that takes up most of this collection. Still a fun read particularly if you like Parker's day to day life and trials stuff.

Aside from the fact that I really dislike this cover, a pretty good Spider-Man volume! The Chameleon storyline was probably the best aspect of this volume, as it was the most tense. I was hooked while reading it, and Peter Parker really can't catch a break. We get a little re-introduction as to what's been happening with MJ between now and Brand New Day, which was a helpful refresher. The art wasn't always my favorite, but you know. It is how it is.

The much hyped but inevitable return of MJ is dealt with quite well - pretty much short circuiting Parker - but the real surprise is the return of a much scarier Chameleon.

The Chameleon is one of my favorite villains and I enjoyed watching him screw up Peter's life. The only downside to that is that the story was a little light on Spider-Man. Still, a fun read.

If you like the saga that is Peter Parker's lovelife, you'll really like this. But if you hate it,steer clear of this because despite there being other things going on, his lovelife is an important part of it all.

The Best part of this was the Chameleon story which I wish the whole volume would have focused on...it was a kinda creepy serial killer type of villain. But the other half of the book featured random run-ins, so meh...
