FYI, I think the preview that's mentioned can be found at
http://www.milehighcomics.com/firstlook/061301/amzspd32cvr.html

I'm kinda surprised I'm enjoying the series.  I've never been a big
Spider-Man fan (I prefered the imagination and escapism of Lee's &
Ditko's Dr. Strange; Peter Parker was too close to home for me).  The
nice balance between some story resolution per issue and the kind of
mysterious big evolving arc we've become used to from B5 is involving.

But what's really hookinging me is what's actually missing.  The
Parker teen angst & S-M goofy flippancy.  Peter is written with a
maturity and passion of personality that I find refreshing.

Thanks.  I'm trying to write him as a real guy, someone you'd want to hang out
with.  This issue takes it all one step further.

(It hits comcs stands the middle of next week, for anyone looking on.)
