I'm done pissing and moaning about The Other storyline, Peter Parker's bone-spikes, or that crazy new costume. You fanboys are buying this in record numbers, so I'm just too old and inflexible. Amazing Spider-Man 529 is a bit better than the previous issues, and it ties into Civil War. Peter gets the new costume from Stark and it enables him to fly. Which I don't get at all--do spiders fly? Oh well, they don't shoot you in their eye with their webs, so maybe I'm inconsistent. I'll just have you young ones know that Spider-Man flew before. That picture above was from ASM 328. During the story arc in ASM 326-329, Peter inherited the power cosmic of Captain Universe, which enabled him to defeat Count Nefaria, Magneto, and the Incredible Hulk! Yeah, it was weird then, it's weird now.
I'll tell you what is even weirder: Tony Stark talking out of that eagle in Peter and Mary Jane's bedroom. I'd run for the hills if that happened to me. Want to bet there isn't a camera in there, despite what Stark said? I'd move out ASAP. We've been watching Tony Stark getting more closely involved in Peter's life for the past year, and now we see what this has been building toward. Is it me, or is Tony Stark really different here than in his own mag? Nuff said.
