@Al – Agreed. Scenes like this are why I call BS on people like Quesada who say that the Spider-Marriage was hated by most of the Spidey writers and felt like it hampered the opportunity for character development and story opportunities. Stories like this one show that’s not true.
“Blood Brothers” was a very underrated arc. The systematic destruction of Peter and Ben’s lives was riveting.

Scenes like this are why I think that Howard Mackie only wrote the marriage badly when he was mandated to end it. He could do right by it when he wanted to.
