Picking up where PPSM 5 ended, no matter what it said. Joe Rosas colors this one. Spider-Man appears to be asking us, the reader, if we’ve ever lied to someone we care…

PPSM 4
Sure are a lot of guest stars in these early issues of the relaunch. Marrow, of all people. Returning the favor for her team-up with Spidey in Uncanny X-Men 346, presumably. So…

Chapter One 6
To kick things off, Byrne spelled out that he and editorial got together and decided ASM 1-18 represented the first year of Spider-Man’s career, and to focus in on that range. Adapting…
