Padding and Filler. Nothing special and now we just had to wait and wait and wait. Good action though.

Okay I now we know how they met Paul, but he is sooooooooooo boring he has a the personality of a glass of milk. But the ceremony and totem angel sound interesting. Is Peter being tested by the gods, that is why his life had turned to crap?

This issue makes no sense. Okay so the time works differently in the world where the Ceremony took place but why are Peter's friends acting like he a stranger. But now we know why he's been trusting Norman.

This issue is so depressing that is leading to what I call the Month of Anxiety. This just pours salt on wounds for all Peter and MJ fans. When will Marvel just read the room?

I always wondered why she dumped Peter for Paul, and it was because he was LITERALLY THE LAST MAN ON EARTH! Though I think even though she still truly loves Peter, l think that she is staying with him more out necessity than love do to those kids. Plus, I don't think she told him the whole truth in order to protect him. Maybe this is all an act as they have never been seen kissing throughout the whole run so far. Only hugging, calling each other cute names and hugging. But we'll learn more about that next issue. But still this book leaves more questions then answers, I hate this Mystery Box style of writing that Zeb Well has adapted. Say what you want about the Nick Spencer Run, he actually dropped hint on who the BBEG like in manga. But her we didn't know about the Emissary, the Gods or the Ceremony until #22. And we hardly know anything about Paul after 25 issues. (Only that I want to punch that smug SOB in the face every time I see him.) I swear Zeb Wells just created him to piss off the fans.

This comic is laughable bad. While there are some good parts it comes few and far between. Paul is revealed as Rabbin in his world but having MJ compare him to Peter is just wrong. Peter uses his regrets and suffering to help people while Paul is just a cynical a**hole we saw that when he suggested he and MJ leave those kids behind. But the at least we know now the kids were illusions and this may push that turns Paul into the new Emissary and hopefully causes Peter and MJ get back together again. But I won't know for a while, I am going to take a break from ASM till December. Hopefully the story will advance by then because this whole Mystery Box style of writing is really frustrating. Say what you want about Nick Spencer I'd rather have a Slow Burn style of story then a Mystery Box.

Mark is very good showing a power fantasy for a kid who just want to be Web Famous. So he uses his vampire powers to fight crime and make Youtube videos.

Really like where this series is going. It gives me Ultimate Spider-Man or Luthor Strode vibes of where the power comes in but the responsibility part. Millar is great writer and I will love to see where this leads.
