Another Dan Slott penned chronicle in the life of Spidey with Giuseppe Camuncoli artwork and a framable Alex Ross cover, this issue wraps up the "Power Play" storyline in epic fashion. Mary Jane and Jarvis find themselves struggling to help Iron Man and Spider Man after seeing them both taken down by Regent. Luckily MJ remembers her not-too-distant superhero past, dons the Iron Spider suit, and fairly unbelievably rushes off to help. Meanwhile, Regent brings the incapacitated duo to the Cellar while Pete's best friend and Parker Industries COO Harry Osborne breaks out of his tube and messages Peter, waking him up from stasis.
Mary Jane distracts Regent which allows Iron Man and Spider-Man to both attack him. While the trio continues to battle, Spidey slips into the prison where nearly every superhero in the Marvel Universe is being held hostage, and breaks Miles Morales, aka "Spider Miles" out of hibernation. With Harry in tow, they run through and break all of the heroes out of the stasis tubes, beating up Dr Stillwell in the process, and later uniting all of the Avengers, The X-Men, The New Warriors, and everybody else, to finish quadruple teaming Regent.
The issue concludes with the villain in his own jail and Spiderman playing nice with Iron Man which was a good change from the sniping the two had been doing previously. As he, Miles, and MJ kind of patch things up, you can tell a certain sweetness between Mary Jane and Peter still vibes, which transitions into her getting dressed for a night on the town. The dialogue between them leads you to believe she's talking to Peter but you discover it's actually Tony Stark. Meanwhile Peter has a family reunion with Aunt May, Jay Jameson, J. Jonah Jameson, Harry, etc when mysteriously, Jay Jameson ruins the party in some bizzare, coughing up blood and collapsing type of deal. The cliffhanger hinges on Pete and J.Jonah rushing to his aid while Aunt May screams for help.
Amazing Spider-Man 15 gets a 9 from me for the action, and appearances by Aunt May and MJ which knows how to pull at my nostalgic heart strings. I only wonder what's next for everyone, and especially wonder how long we have until Doc Ock finally figures a way out of that robot.
