Two years ago, Peter Parker told the world he was Spider-Man. This revelation made the Spider-Man series harder to write; fewer secrets and less money struggles thanks to that Avengers salary. The mighty marvel machine had written itself into a corner. Good writers write themselves out of corners. With these stories the Marvel Editors say "None of that ever happened." Mephisto erases everyone's memory so no one in the universe ever knew Spider-Man's identity or that Mary-Jane and Peter had ever been married. Just as Dennis the Menace has a fourth or fifth birthday every few years, so is Spider-Man thrown back to the single life living with his Aunt May. Aunt May, by the way, is about a hundred and twenty five years old and so freaking death proof, it's a wonder some bomb squad hasn't recruited her. I stopped reading Spider-Man when the hack plot line of the Clone Saga tarnished Spider-Man. I picked up these issues to see if I might come back and thanks to the lazy editing reset, I'm off Spider-Man for good. If you need a great comic collection to read, try "Y:The Last Man".

This is a bad story line that washed away years of great stories because of a Editor decision. This is out of character for all people in this book. Please, buy good comics not bad ones.
