As far as 30th anniversary issues go, it’s a parallel of Spider-Man’s origin but this time the focal character is the nephew of the burglar who killed Uncle Ben.

Meh.
There’s also some shenanigans with Sunset “Madame Menace” Bain.
There’s also a cute-but-stupid Mary Jane back-up story where Mary Jane pillow-fights and tickles Peter Parker, also written by DeFalco but with Mark Bagley on art.
And he mansplains his spider senses.
