For now, this issue wraps up the story of the new villain . . Paper Doll. We get a little more of her story, but overall they've decided to leave her a bit of an enigma for now. The problem she has right now . . and really it seems to be most villains downfall . . is that she has this obsession. She's in love with this movie-star, Bobby Carr. Somehow she's inserted herself in to his life, through his movies, but his ambiguity in really life . . is driving her crazy. I assume she's the classic model of a stalker. However, this stalker has powers and means . . so she's on a mission to dispose of anyone that may threaten their future together. And right now . . that person is Bobby's new girlfriend MJ. Yes MJ's back, but Peter, or Spider-man, has little to no interaction with her. Peter doesn't even actually see her face. He just talks to her over the house speakers when Paper Doll comes to Bobby's house, threatening them, and forcing MJ to retreat to his panic-room. In the end Spider-man does end up taking her down. And really? . . . . that's what this whole issue was about. None of the other story-lines were really addressed. Peter, with this incident, has decided to quit being a paparazzi. Also, he decide that he's moving out of Aunt May's and in with Vincent. And, at the end of this issue, he and Norman bury the hatchet. No not literally. Of course MJ leaves town for destinations unknown. I enjoy Dan Slott's stories on this series. His style fits in perfectly with this book. On this issue, I also enjoyed Marcos Martin's pencils. He's not one of my favorites, but on this book, I thought there was a really good feel to it. And obviously the artist contributes significantly to that.
