Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man #11 - Marvel

Ok, I was a little rough on Peter David the last couple of issues. This one, on the other had shows some promise. This time we're dealing more with the ramifications of the outing of Peter Parker. We get to see some more of how this event with affect the parts of his life that overlap, like his teaching. This part of the story Peter writes extremely well. The reaction of the students parents, and of fellow teachers and administration, is very believable. And frustating, as it should be. The reaction from MJ and May is also believable. It's not what Peter expected, but it is believable. I also like the way the kids are behind him, even though no one else appears to be. The only part of the story I think is hoaky, is the Mysterio thing. This time Mysterio is the son of the original, I guess. And he's going after Peter for what he did to his father. But in the end, the original gets involved also. And the next issue blub says that next issue, there's 3 of them. What is it lately with books having 2 or 3 of the same characters coming face to face with each other? It's been done about 1/2 a dozen times in the last 6 months. Is it some new trend? So far none of them have been handled successfully either. We'll see if Peter can pull it off, but somehow I doubt it. Stick to the human interest part of the story. That's where the stories at now, anyways.
