Here’s my issue… yes, Spider-Man has lots of human problems–his aunt’s pissed at him, he’s got girlfriend trouble, he’s got job trouble. He’s apparently the only superhero in New York when there’s a superpowered terrorist blowing up toy stores. The list goes on and on.
But let’s look at these problems.
Aunt May’s pissed he dropped out of college. How contrived. She’s not even a character. It’s unbelievable her beau would even have lunch with her.
His girlfriend trouble–the Black Cat. She’s a moron and a flake and written by everyone in that manner. She even tells Peter she doesn’t like him, only the costume.
The job trouble–he’s taking boring pictures. Considering he got his start faking exciting pictures, Peter’s just being lazy.
He’s not very sympathetic here.
But the Leonardi art is good on all the superhero adventuring. Not so much on the faces though.
