Ok......now this was a good issue.
Quick synopsis:
We open with Spidey in mid-battle with The Ringer!!! Spidey it seems is in trouble....when all of a sudden his girlfriend Kitty floats down to save him.
A brief exchange of snappy dialouge with the bad guy and then she phases Peter for the first time. The save the day and head off just as police show up.
Peter and Kitty talk about her new costume. She says she made it so she can be seen in public with Peter. Her logic is...Kitty Pride: X-Man seen in public with Spiderman.......then there's Kitty Pride seen in public with Peter Parker. She doesn't want anyone to start putting 2 and 2 together. This also ties into the status of their relationship. She wants to move forward and Peter is reluctant. He likes her...but what about his Aunt? How will she react to him dating a publically known mutant? Her ride shows up and she has to leave. They kiss goodbye and as they kiss she phases thru him again accidentally.
On the ride home Kitty worries that she has scared off Peter. Classic Bendis dialogue.
Upon her arrival back at the mansion---she finds that no one is there....until she sees Wolverine. She say hi...and he attacks her. Kitty runs away thru a wall and runs into Storm. Storm attacks her as well. We then see Kitty running thru walls. As she tries to escape she is electrocuted and faints.
We then cut to the Parker residence and we see Aunt May getting dressed up for a night on the town. Peter says she looks different. He then notices the X-Jet above the house. He hops into it worrying that something might be wrong with Kitty. The jet is on autopilot and seals the door shut and take Peter to the X-Mansion.
Once there he is filled with questions. He sees Kitty and approaches her. Kitty suddenly electro-shocks him and causes him to pass out. When then see Kitty start to blur a bit.......surprise---it's DEADPOOL and the Gang!!!!!!
To be continued......
I liked this issue a lot. Very Peter and Kitty oriented. That's a good thing. It was very reminiscant of the Annual. The art was just ok. It seemed to lack that extra wow factor that the Sable arc had. Writing was Classic Bendis all the way. It was the storytelling that made me fall for the book in the first place.
A couple of cool things:
I seriously have no real complaints about this issue. Very good. A solid 4/5.

A couple of cool things:
- The Ringer said he was from Waldorf MD!!!! :rockon: (that's where I'm from originally....its so small that I would never think anyone ever heard of it)
- I like how they said that Kitty is NOT Spidergirl
- Aunt May actually looked hot...........for an older woman. What?!?!? Tell me Sofia Loren isn't still hot....
I seriously have no real complaints about this issue. Very good. A solid 4/5.
