Spider-Man and Human Torch is one of the few relationships that Slott gets.

I'm...intrigued by Harry. But it really isn't setting well with me unless there's some mind control or something going on. Harry is too smart to be fooled by "Spidey's a body guard". Hell, so is Jonah.

Based on how he's written him in the past, I don't think Slott has much use for Jonah as anything but a cartoon.

For some reason it reminds me of Norman getting amnesia in Amazing #41, and Peter having to live, knowing Norman could remember everything at any moment. That was some great drama.

It just dawned on me that Peter is basically trying to be like a good Norman Osbourne. Got too tied up in the Stark comparisons, I suppose.

Huh, is she going to be in Web Warriors too? Jessica just goes to Gwen's dimension for coffee in one panel. Or is this a hint that the ending of Secret Wars is going to make it real easy for heroes to traverse dimensions on a whim?

Ugh, seriously? Anyone remember when Spider-Man books were street-level? I can accept Web Warriors, but by having people cross over from 616 to 65 (that's the Gwen-verse, right?) on a regular basis you completely undermine everything that made Gwen's book unique. It's like how they use to say that a crossover with the Ultimate universe would officially mark the point Marvel had run out of ideas.

Plus I'm seriously iffy on the whole 'fighting crime while 8 months pregnant' thing. I get it's supposed to be empowering, but basic logic suggests that's a goddamn terrible idea. Like, 'total disregard for the life of the baby' terrible.

Literally the first scene of the book is Jessica watching Porcupine fight some super villains while she's in the distance watching through binoculars and bemoaning the fact that she no longer fights crime because she's pregnant.

Spider-Woman #1 reminded me too much of Avengers 200, especially the whole "I never wanted children/Things change" page. Obviously it won't be anywhere near that bad, but I still think I'll wait for the explanation before I pick it back up.

I don't think it was a big mystery. It was resolved pretty fast.

Either way it was a pretty standard-rear end pregnancy.

No one needs to make an rear end pregnancy joke. We all thought of them when we read that. The jokes have been made, in our imaginations.

I'm pretty amused that they came up with the most tasteless way for Stark to ask and it was entirely in-character. I mean, "Do you know who the father is?" is not a totally unreasonable question in their circle, but it's also one of the more offensive things you could ask.

OK, my bad. But honestly the promo material I saw never bothered to explain that.

I'm sorry that stating that I think 'superheroine gets pregnant and still apparently runs around in costume' sounds like a stupid idea to me on the face of it. Now other people have pointed out that's not how it works in the actual book, but I had no way of knowing that without buying a book I'm not interested in in the first place, literally the only information I had was the cover. Why so hostile?

Wasn't his survival just that Dan Slott didn't want to be the guy who killed Kaine (but he was apparently fine being the guy who killed the Amazing Friends & House Adverts Spider-Man)? you'd think somebody would have figured out what to do with him by now.

I think the next time we see Aracely she's probably going to either be a background character with no lines or killed off unceremoniously.
