Spider-Man finds himself confronted by Shathra, an embodiment of the spider-wasp totem, whose enmity for him is pure and unalterable. When he eludes her first attempt at killing him, Shathra changes tactics and goes on national TV claiming to have been his lover, putting at risk his fragile relationship with MJ and his secret identity.

I'm not really a huge fan of the whole 'spider totem' storyline, so this continuation of it didn't hit as hard with me as something with a more recognisable villain would have done.
I was also largely unimpressed by the third act inclusion of Doctor Doom and Captain America, which felt very contrived and tangential.

That said, I remain a life long fan of Peter's relationship with MJ and I was fully engaged by the ups and downs of their attempts to reconnect after the failure of their marriage.
