Plot:
Peter sits atop a large building crying, pondering the thought of Gwen's childeren being his. ( See ASM 509 Sins Past Part 1 ) Peter swings home to find MJ still sleeping, he wakes her up for her to get ready to leave for work and the gym. Mary Jane suspects something is up, she tries to get out of him whats wrong but he pulls off the conversation with jokes. When Peter leaves, MJ grabes a flashlight and starts looking around the room to find webing on the ceiling of the closet. Then her suspicions become stronger. Later we see Peter at Gwen Stacy's grave. He shoves a metal pole into the ground...my guess is to get DNA or something. Then we notice someone is watching him. And its a guy talking about whats he doing to someone named "Sarah" on walkie talkies. Appearantly these are Gwen Stacy's childeren. And they are on the thought that Peter is their father. Later we see MJ on stage acting. Afterwards, a guy asks her top get together with him and a bunch of other actors, but she declines so she can investigate the closet at home.
The actors talk about her when she leaves thinking shes stuck up, not knowing that its not that at all. Peter takes the DNA to a lab to test them to the twins. When one of the come in, the daughter. She holds a gun to Peter, telling him to let her kill him so her brother Blake wont kill his family. If Peter gets killed, Gabe wont see the torture in Peter's eyes. At a moment Peter lunges at the girl and knocks away the gun. Pulling off the mask for a moment we can tell Peter figures the girl is Gwen considering SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HER. But for the record she says that Gabe thinks she looks like her mother. In the moment the test comes out beeping, and something blows up. Causing Sarah to escape ok. Peter's fear is coonfimed that Gwen and the two are related. Gabe and Sarah trade stories of what happened on the roof of a building. And Peter gets home to find MJ holding the letter he got. Peter right away bursts out saying how him and Gwen never got intimate but Mary Jane stops him telling Peter that she believed him and knows who the father of Gwen's childeren are.
The Good: OH YEAH! WHAT A STORY! The art was awesome as usual, Mike has his work cut out for him. And the cliffhanger! I'll never forget it! MJ looking into Peter's eyes telling him she knows that hes not the father and that she knows WHO the father is.
And the actors chasing the other actor bopping him with the script? Classic!
The Bad:
I really cant pick out anyhting very bad about this book. The issue seemed a BIT short. There were about 4 settings throught the story. Which isnt a bad thing completely but...thats about it!
Rating:
This issues deserves every bit of a 4 and 1/4 out of 5 in my oppinion!
