Amazing Spider-Man #542

Amazing Spider-Man #542
This is the first issue I've read completely since just before the horrible mess that was Civil War. It's OKAY. I have no idea why I read it. Kingpin seems to be horribly mischaracterized. Spider-Man is not the Spidey that we all know and love. I can see where this storyline is going, and let me tell you, I don't like it one bit. But for all that, this issue was at least competent. A by-the-numbers fight between Kingpin and Peter Parker where Peter delivers the beatdown to end all beatdowns, and tells Fisk most definitively that if Aunt May dies, so does he - simple as that. I still don't much care for this title. But I'll probably read the next issue.
