Very strong opening issue. I've been looking forward to this since the first mini series. Looks like this sequel will top the first series. In EWAF, despite Peter's efforts that remove Norman Osborn from the streets, a new crime boss fills the power vacuum and is more ruthless than the Green Goblin. Then, behind the scene some creepy scientific experiments are on going, introducing several noir version of Spidey's rogue gallery....
The relationship between Peter and Felicia is fascinating, but a bit creepy. Peter seems to be wanting to seeking 'truth' love from her but Felicia seems like she's enjoying her night time a lot. And then there's Mary Jane, I wonder if anything will go on between she and Peter
Robbie Robertson. This guy is particularly looking for trouble when he starts investigating into Doc Ock's experiments and I doubt he will survive the series.
The new villains are great. There's nothing known about Crime Master yet but he looks menacing. Sandman and Connors are ok....Doc Ock, on the other hand, is a great re-imagining. A guy in some mechanical wheelchairs with arms, armed with scary doctor equipment. The last page with him is really spine chilling, and what will happen to the people....
Art is great...although some part the human face is a bit off (MJ
)
Now really looking forward to the next issue!
