um so this may be my biggest pet peeve about MC2
I know this post is very, very old and this is a little off-topic... but hey, I was re-reading the post and felt commenting. Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one bothered by the Kaine and Darkdevil scene. Honestly, it's pretty hard for me to read that issue because of it. I feel similarly about the fight between Peter and Darkdevil in Last Hero Standing, too. Although at least Spidey has the excuse of being brainwashed. Plus, he has no idea Reilly's his nephew.
It's one thing for heroes to knock each other around. It's different for relatives, especially when the victim has already been abused. By his other uncle no less! And it's in Spider-Girl. You know. The comics I read when I need some happy fluff (or sometimes crack).
