Yes, that really doesn’t sound terrible.

Now…maybe the plot is terrible. On the other hand, maybe the summary was terrible. The vast majority of people who have actually, y’know, *read* the issue have liked it. I’m just sayin’.

Oh, geez, that just sounds horrible, which makes me all the happier I dropped the book about a year ago. It does amaze me though, that PAD can write something as good as X-Factor, and something that seems as fouled up as Friendly Neighborhood.

I wonder if there’s more editorial mandates affecting his stories on Friendly compared to X-Factor, or if maybe he just has a greater emotional investment in Jamie Madrox and his friends, than Spider-Man (or at least, Spider-Man as he’s being portrayed these days), and that makes for better stories.

ummm … what?

That’s really the plot???

Geez, it’s getting so bad I should probably just stick to my old stack of Amazing Spider-Man issues from the seventies and eighties …
