ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #78: "DUMPED"

Recently, I’ve had fears that maybe Bendis had reached his time on this book. But after the disappointing arc, he’d hit you with something that oozed the true essence of this title. With this issue, he’s shown that he still hasn’t lost the vibe (not that Hobgoblin was completely bad). This is a stand alone story, which looks at the end of Peter and Mary Jane’s relationship, from MJ’s perspective. It moves and flows with a natural pace, that exhumes youthful heartache. And it’s easy for the reader to empathies with what’s going on. This really is a great nod to Bendis talent.
Bagley was built for these types of stories! He really knows how to punch those moments. And he creates a visual connection with the reader, which draws you in, to the stories emotional core. They say, a picture can speak a thousand words. And this is so true, as we get a wordless (well there’s one small balloon, but that’s it) page near the end. Where you can read all you need to know, from the eyes and facial expressions. The cover also does a good job at reflecting the sentiment of the issue – Mary Jane’s feelings of smallness to Peter’s world.
