~ ok, you still need to wait just as long, or short, but at least now you can tell that you are waiting and that nothing has gone awry…scene 4!

~ our recent travels have not kept us from following the amazing adventures of peter parker, and our disgust at the recent weakly turning of events has formed a schism between the great deal of occurrences to talk about and the great reluctance to give credit to any of them. we did not want to see mary jane return in the first place – though we knew it would happen, right when everyone most expected it – so, not only were we depressed to see the inevitable mistake finally unfold, we were also offended at the pitiful manner in which the situation was resolved: she was locked in the basement of a diner by a nobody who appeared for just this purpose – the kidnapping – then exploded, inexplicably, at the end of the story apparently for no other reason that page 22 was approaching. not only are we denied any climax that would have let us forgive the return of mary jane, but, we are given an explanation for her disappearance that is absolutely senseless. she is kidnapped because some guy, who has never been seen before, wants to make peter parker suffer because they share, for no visible reason, the same memories? however, after one issue, he changes his mind and explodes?? no norman osborn? no black cat? not even freaking professor warren? we have seen better stories unfold on diaryland…
