Instead, it seems as though the sharper look and feel that comes with Romita is much more subdued. But that's not what readers get in this issue. In many ways, there are opportunities for JRJr to lean into characters like Tombstone and fashion them in ways that maximize his style. Where this particular issue falls short though is that it doesn't fully deliver on what many readers will no doubt be coming to see: a John Romita Jr. Menyz's colors are arguably best when we're seeing some action or when the Human Torch arrives on the scene, but his choices for more toned-down moments work well to complement the story, too.

That is what makes this particular issue a bit of an odd duck.Īs a whole, the comic is well-polished and feels every bit professional from top to bottom. And whether you do love it or hate it, you have to respect that it's trying for something different and unique. Fans either love it or hate it, but there is no denying who sits behind the pencil. book, his highly stylized, angular line art usually stands out as the defining signature. In terms of what readers come to expect from a John Romita Jr. In short, there wasn't much to this version of Peter Parker to make readers feel like this was who they knew or want to come back and see what else he's up to in Issue #2.
He's dismissive to Johnny Storm - one of his oldest friends - and he's perhaps downright unlikeable and uncharacteristically rude to one of his newer friends - his apartment mate, Randy, who is set up to be a good guy looking out for and seeking support from his absentee friend. Then there's something May has discovered about Peter, but again, we don't really see him showing much in the way of remorse for the kind of pain he's caused her. There's too little information and interactions between him and MJ to know why they aren't connecting. But that's predicated on our being invested in this version of Peter as a hero where we want to see him succeed, and in many of his interactions in this issue, he's dismissive and more than a bit unlikeable at times. Of course, this could be an excellent means of baiting readers' interests to keep them turning the page and hankering for the next issue.
