The Sensational Spider-Man Annual #1

The Sensational Spider-Man Annual #1
Why isn't Matt Fraction writing more stories in the Marvel U? This story was faithful to all the old Spidey stories, and showed exactly why PP&MJ forever. They complete each other. Now we have to try to sell it to Joe Quesada (email him at joeydaq@aol.com). Flashback scenes done by Fraction and drawn lovingly in the style of John Romita Sr. by Salvador Larocca round out this book. And oh, man, it's the best Spider-Man book I've read since the whole Civil War stupidity began. I'm still pissed off about the minutiae, but if all stories were like this one, I could learn to live with it. EXCELLENT.
