Amazing Spider-Man #37
PLOT: Peter involves himself in a young student’s problems while Aunt May contemplates what her discovery of Spider-Man’s costume in Peter’s apartment means.
LIKES: Straczynski delivers a fairly effective story of urban decay and blight and it’s victims. While his previous issue revolving around Peter’s job as a teacher was cliched and predictable this one avoids degenerating into an afterschool special. JMS steers clear of easy, pat solutions and forced happy endings. In fact the best part of this issue is that Peter realizes there is nothing he or Spider-Man can do to instantly make things better for Jennifer, his student, or any of the homeless kids.
DISLIKES: It’s frustrating to have to put off Aunt May’s and Peter’s talk for another month. This frustration is compounded by last month’s special issue making us wait an extra month. Of course that delay was not the fault of JMS.
RATING: 3 out of 5 webheads
