Mary Jane, Volume 1: Circle of Friends by Sean McKeever, Takeshi Miyazawa

3.0

Collection of the manga-esque mini-series focusing on Spider-Man's future wife, Mary Jane Watson, that led to another mini-series, that led to the ongoing Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane series. Spidey Loves MJ is a good series because it manages to hit the right mix of teen romantic comedy and, well, Spider-Man stuff. This first effort is pretty light on that latter aspect. Which was probably the point, I guess, but without much Spidey, or even much Peter Parker, this is basically a book about the popular kids in the Webhead's high school. And as a certified Peter Parker type myself, why do I want to read that? Still, a decent read, but not as fun as the stuff that comes later on. Gotta start somewhere, I suppose.
