Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb

3.0

Mixed feeling on this one... Spider-Man Blue is emotionally affecting but the groundwork isn't laid for it to strike home the way it should. This whole story is Peter Parker talking about/to Gwen Stacy about how much he misses her but it felt like in the flashbacks they spoke to each other for maybe a total of 2 pages. To make a love letter to Gwen Stacy you would think you would actually show the ready who she was, what she was like, maybe give a reason for her to be with Peter rather than just because we are told they like each other. And still, despite the poor framing of love story, I still felt the ending worked though the graphic novel could have been much better. This also loses points because it's told identically to how Daredevil Yellow is told, yet in that one the love interest (Karen) is actually developed.
