Gosh, Joe, You've done it again! Amazing Spider-Man #31 has me leaping off my
seat in anticipation for the next issue! There is a lot to love, but for me it
comes down to one particular fact: AUNT MAY leaps off the page as a vibrant,
wonderful, fully defined character. She's wise, funny, and even sneaky. She
immediately became one of my favorite characters and that is something that has
not been accomplished since... I haven't a clue.

Thanks.  She's become a fun character to write.  The character has largely been
abandoned, just treated as a doddering old woman, but this is someone who's
carried great burdens in her life, and kept her strength through it all...she
needs to be given better treatment than she's gotten of late.
