Amazing Spider-Man #2
Well Mackie and Byrne are back with the introduction of the villain Shadrac. Evidently this bad boy was created during the “Gathering of the Five” storyline. Shaddy goes to Osborne industries and looks for the main dog himself, but is met with opposition by the new Spider-Girl….Woman. Evidently the young girl got the superpowers that Norman was looking for.
A stronghold of the Spider-titles for years has been its supporting cast. Luckily it seems that Mackie is trying to revisit that with Pete’s new job and fellow co-workers, Jill Stacey, and Mary Jane.
This issue is getting two and a half Spidey heads for a few reasons. 1) It was a foregone conclusion that Peter would get in the webs again. So suspense is out the window. 2) The cut back of Mary Jane’s role in the book. I wish she would become more involved. She’s a popular character, and if written correctly is a joy. 3) I don’t like the Parkers new Pad. I’m sure this modeling paycheck Mary Jane is getting will be gone, and they’ll move into a more modest home. Still I don’t like the fact that it’s so predictable
