This book is really hard to give thoughts about.

There is so much stuff I like here. But I can't just blindly love it, because there is so much stuff that is still missing. And Peter's characterization continues to be weak compared to others.

However, I still liked so much stuff. Art, the suit, MJ finally giving us what she feels. All good stuff, but with the series ending i more

This was really odd. It is more like an Amazing Spider-Man team-up than Giant-Size ASM. I thought the cover was supposed to be related to cover itself, but it is more related to whole package.

Art in all three stories was great. But that is almost all good I have to say about it.

Smith's story is so average and boring that it's hard to give it any credit.
