While much of the focus of Nick Spencer's first year on Amazing Spider-Man has involved the buildup to an ultimate culmination of "Hunted," the series has also been teasing a brand new, very mysterious addition to Spidey's rogues gallery. As Spencer gears up for Year 2, that villain is finally stepping out of the shadows and taking a more active role in tormenting Peter Parker. That, plus a heavy focus on Mysterio, is enough reason to check out issue #24.
Spencer mainly divides this standalone story on two fronts, exploring how the fallout of "Hunted" continues to affect Peter and using Mysterio as a means of setting the stage for this mystery villain's big debut. The former is especially welcome as it helps bring the Peter/MJ relationship back to the forefront of the book. As great as it is having this romance back in action a decade after Brand New Day, it hasn't necessarily received the attention it deserves. But now that the initial "honeymoon" phase has worn off, Peter finds himself at a crossroads. Can he allow himself to be with someone he loves and risk putting them in mortal danger, especially with the terrifying visions he's been experiencing?
