This one was actually a really touching story. SHIELD, finally tries to make a move on the Parker family. They don't bother May much, because they know she's in the hospital. And . . she's not going anywhere. But they make a move on MJ. An old friend, supposedly, from the west coast, stops her in a coffee shop to chat. Of course it's in the "old neighborhood", and the coffee shop that her and Peter have been hanging out in since they first met. After a little shooting the crap for a little while, Brady, tells her that he now works for SHIELD, and he's been sent to bring her in. Well . . . bring her in . . . or get her to disclose the location of Spider-man. So she starts telling him about the stories of when her and Peter first got together. Meanwhile, at the same time, Peter is talking to a Detective, because he's trying to figure out how to turn himself in, and quit making his family live on the run. He feels that he's not being fair to MJ or Aunt May. So while he's talking to his guy, he's also reminiscing with stories about him and MJ first getting together. The stories they're both telling are very similar, except that they're being told from each person's perspective. So while they're essentially the same story, they each have a different feel because we're learning how they each felt about what was going on at that exact moment. In MJ's case, she's also stalling Brady, because she's activated her Spider-tracer, to call in her husband. Of course he comes swooping in, pulls her out of harms way, and they end up making out on the top of some skyscraper. Like I said, a pretty touching story overall. It was nicely written by Matt Fraction and brilliantly drawn by Salvador Larroca. I would have to say, this is the best Annual from Marvel so far this summer.
