What's my beef about this cover, you ask?
Well, for starters, I just don't like Madame Web. I'm not a big fan of any character who just kind of sits around and dispatches information and/or orders. Yawn.
It's a very passive activity, so the writers always feel like overstating their importance and I just feel like I'm being sold a bill of goods. Information is helpful, but these days, I can "Google" just about anything.
I also don't like the caption boxes. I generally think blurbs on covers are a mistake and this is a great example as to why. Who is saying this to Spider-Man? Is she speaking of herself in the third person? If not, is someone standing off-camera? It's very distracting.
But this issue had some Fun with Out of Context Dialogue (tm!) so there's that:
