Spiritual Solicitations: Sensational Spider-Man #40

As a new feature for Holy Heroes!!, I will scour Previews for forthcoming books dealing with religion and give everybody a heads-up on books that may be of interest to readers of this blog. First up:
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN #40
WRITER: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
PENCILS, INKS, COLORING, & COVER: Clayton Crain
LETTERED BY: Chris Eliopoulos

THE STORY:
Above all else, Peter Parker is a decent man. With a good heart. Who has given his life over to the service of others. And in exchange…what has he gotten? Tragedy after tragedy after tragedy…His Uncle Ben, Gwen Stacy, the list goes on and on…And why? In his darkest hour, Peter demands answers. And the only person who can give them to him is…God?

32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99

Peter Parker has definitely gone through some Job-like suffering (does he have any family members left that haven't died at least once?), so a spiritual showdown makes sense. I don't really like the dark direction the character has taken lately (and this from a guy who loves Kraven's Last Hunt!), but if this issue is good it may make up for it.

Am looking forward to this issue, am a bit delayed in this reading but I've heard a lot of good reviews on it. Let's see if Faith helps Peter find some answers.
