Thanks, I’ll add it to my must-read list.

Did you actually read the issue? It was one of the top reviewed single issues of the last year's worth of Spider-Man.

Yep, and I don't understand where these reviews have been coming from. It's overly sentimental, it interupted the flow of the series, and it does a lot to legitimize war, playing with some fairly bad stereotypes.
0bsessions:
How in the world does a decades old character being maimed legitimize war? Reading that, all I could was "Fuck, I am sure glad I never enlisted."
I've read overly sentimental comic books and that was far from overly sentimental. It was a pretty damn good balance and coming right after NWTD was a perfect spot for it, especially with the almost weekly scheduling, where it didn't interrupt anything.
Puki:
Hm...not everything short, but my recomendations are:
Preacher, Walking Dead, Fables, Invincible, Bone.
I will now stop writing because I will get to the point of not stopping.

Marvels and Astro City are the two best graphic novels I have experienced. Quite simply, at his best Kurt Busiek is the best writer in comics ever.
