There's so much a roommate can take
Hickman proves, once again, that he's a versatile writer: so what that there's no great plot, no saving the universe in this issue? There're other important things in life too, like having fun!! And who's better to hang out than Spidey and Human Torch?!? Hickman sells gold here, using tons of great ideas that's been around for ages, like the whole rivaltry going on behind Peter and Johnny (includin a certain red headed gal), but that's one quality that separates Hickman from other writers: his ability to use old ideas (much like Remender) in such a genius and hilarius fun way, that you almost forgot that's all recycled!! So this issue is about Peter struggle to keep cool while Johnny Storm is his guest (very difficult not to get a flame head!!). The dialogues and situations are very funny and there's also the amazing art of Nick Dragotta (one of the coolest pencilers today)! This was a very amusing and fun issue to read, like I said before, there's no continuity, no bigger plot, it's just a time out for party and relaxation (and tons of laughs). Highly recommended!!!
