Why is it that the good Spidey stories all seem to be happening in Family, anyway? (See: this and the excellent JMD Harry/Peter story.) Seriously.
Anyway, I quite liked this. Props to Stern for being able to elegantly weave something Trouble-esque into continuity without being the... travesty that was Trouble. Plus, I think a miscarriage in May and Ben's past makes a LOT of sense.
