Madame Masque seems to be one step ahead every time. There were some decent dialogue moments throughout this one as it seems to be setting more up for the future.

Only Al Ewing could make MJ vs Madame Masque work, but he absolutely pulls it off here. Also, only he could make Paul tolerable, he still sucks but Ewing manages to work that in really gracefully.
I wish I liked the art in this issue more, it’s far from bad, it’s really very good, but there’s something about it that I can’t quite put my finger on that I don’t like. I think it’s the shading and coloring.
I really fucking love the cover art, the sharing and coloring on that looks amazing.
The AIM stuff before the credits page is really good as well, especially MODOK. Really really good issue.

Great artwork. Cute story. Flash was believable. Act harder Paul.

Really good art and action here. I dig this artist's version of Madame Mask. Also, this version of Venom is growing on me. Recommended for fans of Spider-Man's supporting cast.
