That is the best part of this story! Mysterio has everyone confused, even me. Not sure what is real and what isn't (I know it's a comic book so nothing is real).
For the first time in my years of reading Amazing Spider-Man I hate a story arc. It is hard to displease this fan, and I am trying to like this Gauntlet thing, but it just isn't clicking for some reason.
I sort of liked the Sandman thing, the Electro story, and even tolerated the dumbed-down Rhino, but this arc is just getting weird.
The only thing in this issue and the last that I even remotely enjoyed was negative Aunt May. She tore in to Peter and then chewed out Harry Osborn, and Peter's cousins. Those few panels were funny, and I enjoyed them the most. The rest of the Mysterio thing is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
I seriously thought about stopping my Amazing collection, but I have too much invested to stop just because of a bad arc. Is it just me? Am I just in a bad mood? I am not liking this at all.
The art bothers me, the writing bothers me and the story bothers me. I am having a tough time with this one. Oh well, after getting every Amazing Spider-Man and the variant covers for years, I can't stop now. I'll keep reading to see how this turns out (as long as I don't die of frustration first).
