We have May's interacting with her high school friends, bits with MJ and Normie, Peter and JJJ and some Spider-Girl action too. In fact Spider-Girl is actually effective in a fight without her powers. May and American Dream help the Steel Spider with a life crisis and May serves as an inspiration to Moose without even knowing it. The opening featuring the Steel Spider's capture of two small time crooks and the closing of Peter's visit with JJJ are good comic bookends to the story. Finally, the last 2 panels serve up a stunning cliffhanger.
Next issue ought to be a gas.
Unfortuanetly I think he falls down on the faces. When the characters smile they come close to looking like the Joker. Still these are just minor quibbles. While I think this powerless May thing has gone on too long DeFalco is doing a good job defying convention by keeping it going. They are soon joined by the Raptor who is trying to convince Spider-Girl she has gone straight.
