Title: a fine re-intro to peter parker
Product review: This is the first set of spider-man stories that i've read since 1991, and I'm very happy with it, on the whole... Jenkins plays up Peter Parker's knack for existential crisis and his sense of humour, both of which are equally important elements (and it is especially important that one never eclipse the other!) of the character I enjoyed so much during the runs of Gerry Conway, Roger Stern, Tom Defalco... It's sad that MJ seems to be gone, but sadness is a huge part of what spider-man is all about--along with his determination always to continue caring, no matter what happens between him and his fellow creatures... But ultimately, Parker is a "laughing philospher", and Jenkins does a good job of showing us this, and making it entirely consistent with the nightmarish aspects of Parker's life...
