Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Issue 20 Review

It is now time to reach into the really big comic book box of doom and pull out an issue to randomly review. On the stack is Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Issue 20. The tangled love lives of teenagers is never easy. But sometimes the insanity does rather ramp up to the highest levels, especially when you are Spider-Man.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Issue 20 Review

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Issue 20 was written by Marvel Comics with a cover date of September 2007, with the title "The Next Thing". This issue of Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane was written by Sean McKeever, Pencilled and Inked by David J. Hahn, Colored by Christina Strain, and Lettered by David Sharpe.

The romantic entanglements of Spider-Man has always been a staple of his character and a great source of amusement and frustration at the same time. As you may obviously tell from the title of this comic book series, this comic is not your traditional Spider-Man comic. And when I hit the first page, recapping all of the insanity that went on with the various relationships, I knew I was in for something rather interesting.

So Harry Osborn and Mary Jane are in a relationship, but Mary Jane has feelings for Peter. Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker are in a relationship, but Peter is obviously holding a torch for MJ, which Gwen realizes, and breaks it off, although that might not have been the best idea. Harry is being chased by Felicia Hardy. And there is some kind of relationship between Peter's alter ego, Spider-Man and Firestar. Oh and Iceman shows up as well, likely he's in a relationship with someone as well.

On a side note, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cameo for the absolute win. This comic does throw us geeks a bone, so kudos for that.

So we deal with the various romantic craziness and really, kind of reminds me of high school. Then again that is the setting. So it is true to life. A bit too much true to life, as it does bring back some rather unfortunate memories but that is neither there, nor there.

At the end, after everything, Peter and Mary Jane are about ready to talk. Yeah, it does seem wrapped up nicely, but obviously there will be some kind of glitch that will just throw the romantic hell.

Okay, Harry, tearing up a Spider-Man doll, that's just plain mean. You Osborns and you craziness, what are we going to do with you?

Overall, I was apprehensive about this comic book, just by the title, but its not that bad. It might not be for the hardline Spider-Man fan boy, but hey, its an all ages book, so it might be skewed towards a younger(and potentially also female) audience. Got to take what you can get with this one.

Not one of the best but Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane was decent enough where I did not hurl it at the wall in abject disgust. Really, that's all that one could hope for, when doing one of these Random Comic Book Reviews.
