The entire supporting cast was pretty inconsiderate to Peter after Gwen’s death, I remember wondering if some of them had any sense of empathy at all. I guess it’s better than Randy trying to set Peter up with other women or Flash gleefully talking about how the women in Peter’s life always die, just a few weeks after MJ ‘died’.
Before these panels had Flash just told MJ to “smile”? This has not aged well.
And yeah, it’s been only 4 issues since Gwen, friend to all of them, was killed. And there hadn’t been any time jumps after her death, like after Baby May “died”, so this is only days or a week(s) later. I guess Flash grieves pretty quickly (or not at all).
