Mar 13, 2003An enjoyable final issue that is somewhat undone by the simple fact that I've already read the original stories that this miniseries has drawn so heavily upon, so this is pretty much a simple character study, where Peter looks back nostalgically on better days. Now the book did a solid job capturing the feeling of this period in Spider-Man's history, and it also acts as a nice reminder of the key role Gwen Stacy played in Peter's world. There's also a great scene in the final pages of this issue as Mary Jane looks in on Peter as he's recording his message to Gwen, and we see MJ clearly recognizes that Gwen still plays a role in Peter's life. However, when all is said and done I have to say that I am a little disappointed that this miniseries was so dependent on previously existing stories, as no matter how well crafted the material is, there is a very real sense that Jeph Loeb is merely echoing the work of Stan Lee, rather than delivering his own material.

"Bad Before Good"
This was a really nice miniseries. A touching trip down memory lane with an insightful commentary (and sometimes poetic) by Peter that captures perfectly Gwen's role in Peter's life and how much she matters to him.

This is what I've been hoping for this whole time...and, man, did it hurt. I read this and loved it, but it didn't quite get me to cry and I ended up landing on a 9.5/10 (Not that I only give a 10/10 to books I've cried to, but I think you get the point). I began to think that, perhaps, a re-read might do the trick. A few hours later, I re-read it and we got there. I'm solid in my 10/10 score and this did, in fact, get me to tear up. Particularly the last couple of pages, where we actually see Peter where he's been narrating the whole book, along with Mary Jane, whose words were really what sent me over the edge. Just beautiful stuff there, man. Loeb and Sale do it again.
