I think sometimes it's important to remember that Spider-Man is as much a child of angst and pain as Batman is, really. Losing Uncle Ben and his parents is easily the equivalent of the Wayne Murders, I guess, but what's different is that Spider-Man allows Peter to be something different - I'd argue that he needs to be Spidey much more than Bruce Wayne needs to be Batman, and this is what this story is all about. Reassumption of responsibility and the realisation that he needs to be Spider-Man to be happy, especially now that Mary Jane's gone. So I liked seeing that displayed in this series - Every time Peter puts the costume on, it's almost joyous for him.
And I love that the abandonment of Venom is something you can pin on Peter - It's classic in the same way that he let Uncle Ben die because he didn't stop the crook. By not accepting the symbiote the first time around, he effectively causes all the terror and pain Venom wreaks on New York, and is indirectly responsible for Carnage. So I think that Andrews understands the themes and ideas of Spider-Man incredibly well, if he's a little on-the-nose with them at times, and I think he displays much, much more respect for the character than Quesada, Slott and others do.
