Amazing Spider-Man #400

With #600 around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to post Amazing Spider-Man #400. This is the issue in which Aunt May says goodbye. Er, I mean a genetically modified actress who looks like Aunt May and was hired by Norman Osborn to impersonate her. This is what was sacrificed so we could have stuff like...well, you know what I'm talking about.

Prior to this, Aunt May had been in the hospital. This is when she returns home.

	This was heartwrenching. I can see why Byrne brought her back - he had a point; May certainly is a major supporting character, and was a lynchpin to Peter for many years - but this really was a sad, beautiful story that deserves its reputation as damn good stuff. It's a shame it didn't stay canon. (Reply to this)
