The Sensational Spider-Man #41
Writer J. Michael Straczynski
Pencils: Joe Quesada
Inker: Danny Miki
Colorist: Richard Isanove
This book turned out not to be nearly has bad as I thought it was going to be. My expectations were extremely low. The Internet told me what was supposed to happen in this story. Plus, the cover looks remarkably like a cover of Wizard magazine. I can’t help but think that’s a bad sign.
It really wasn’t that mad. I still don’t agree with the path this story is taking the Spider-Man franchise. I’ve already explained why that is. Straczynski’s writing is up to it’s usual greatness and Quesada certainly knows what to do with the pointy end of a pencil.
This comic cost a whole $3.99 and the story was over before I even hit the staples. The rest of the book contained a long and detailed bio on Mephisto (Satan). Stuff you wont find in the Bible. It also contains a reprint of THE SILVER SURFER #3. It’s the first appearance of the Mephisto.
It wasn’t that bad.

It was the best of the 3 so far but I almost spit up my drink when Mephisto says “I want your marriage.” I mean, really? Thats what you want Satan? Spider-man’s marriage? lame.
Aren’t Mephisto and Jesus brothers?
Curiously, the Marvel Universe Handbook doesn’t have an entry for Jesus.
Alec, what’s funny is that seemingly only two people want Spider-Man and Mary Jane to not be married - Satan and Joe Quesada.
