BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 There's some nonsense coming next issue in ASM. Before we all say goodbye to innocence, I want to point out that with this issue, Zeb Wells gets everything that is good and right about Peter, and bad and right about superheros, correct. This issue is a Blood Hunt tie-in (pretty good actually, give us your money, we'll give you a sealed plastic bag with guts in it) so there's vampires. Someone's been bit. If you kill the vampire that bit her, she's freed from being a vampire. Eatsy Petesy. The circumstances that spill out of that simple premise lead to a slightly deeper than surface examination of every New Yorker waiting for a superhero to come help them, but finding that help will never come because they're not important enough. Peter Parker is top of the food chain when it comes to guilt about things like that, and he's given a chance to shine as an already sour situation goes south. When we all have examples of how things could be, should be, and aren't, when we all see things that maybe WE could impact in a positive way and don't? We're all Peter at that point. When he has a bit of a 'Network' moment at the end of the issue, he's challenging us all to do better. I mean, ISN'T THAT WHY WE'RE ALL STILL READING SUPERHERO COMICS??? It's a nice way for the character(s) to go out, given what happens next issue. We'll be able to remember him this way. Perhaps I've said too much. RIPete. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
