Quite disappointed tbh.
For a story that centers around Peter and Gwen's love story, we don't learn much about Gwen or why Peter fell in love with her, other than her being attractive.
Also, MJ rubbed me the wrong way here and that ending was...not great imo.
The Peter Parker/Gwen Stacy story has always been my fave tragic love story in comics. There's just something about the tragedy that moved me. Spider-Man: Blue is a retelling of that tragic story, but one that does not goes into the specifics of what happened. Instead, it focuses on Parker's reminiscing how he got together with the love of his life, and the other one whom he eventually married. The storytelling, together with the bold colourful art style, comes together to form a bittersweet tale that is beautiful and sad. By the time I reached the final pages, I am not ashamed to say that tears were welling up in my eyes. Lovely, brilliant, read it.
