I still love stopping by Tom DeFalco's take on the Marvel Universe. It's clear this whole universe is just an extrapolation of mid-90's Marvel. This is a What-If DeFalco was able to age the Marvel U after his time as editor-in-chief. It isn't genius or genre-breaking, but this is good solid action in the mighty Marvel manner.May finds out about a link to that common spider-problem, clones, by the end of the trade. Most of the issue has Peter Parker taking the clone's side awfully easily, I don't care if he does think his May might be a clone, he spent his whole life raising her! He knows she's a good kid.
May's superheroics are always fun, in this trade she teams up with the X-People against Magneta. Those portions of the book are fun and move along nicely. The interpersonal drama involving May and her boyfriend are a bit harder to take. I don't think she'd be too interested in quitting her spider-career to join the dance squad, and adding more and more thought bubbles about it just gets annoying.
Ron Frenz's pencils still have that dated 80's look, but I mean that as a compliment. The costume design is classic, and the updates are wonderful. Arana's terrible suit actually looks good!
