Al on Chapter One:
Chapter One routinely drives me into a frenzy. I don't know why I keep reading it. Just one of my monthly doses of teeth-clenching and masochism, I guess. As a friend of mine put it, Chapter One changes just enough to irritate you but not enough to make it truly worthwhile. That says it in a nutshell. Why does Chapter One exist? To give Electro a new costume? Spare me.
