The story writers got it right. This was a great way for us to have our final moment with May and have her exit with grace and class and have our loyal Spidey fans feel every moment with dignity, and knowing that May herself accepted her end.
"It's my time."
It's the one comic that I dared show my girlfriend at the time to show that comics weren't just about the bif! bam! boom! pow!, and had good characters with moving story that affects us and how we see life, and how we should choose to accept the end of our lives (should we get the chance to).
this was a big personal milestone for me. Too bad they undid it and gave us the most recent crap.
