Quentin Beck makes for a compelling foil to MJ.
On the other, this series continues the Mysterio-related momentum generated by Amazing Spider-Man. On the one hand, it's kind of hard to live up to the book's title when MJ feels like a secondary character. For the most part, Mysterio tends to steal the show away from MJ herself. Williams' dialogue is peppy and fun, but too often the MJ scenes seem to run in circles with nothing much to show for it in the end. Only in a lone scene near the end of the issue is she given a chance to just be the wholesome, likable protagonist she can be. This leaves the motivation for some of her decisions in this issue very up in the air.
The problem is that she spends so long complaining (however rightfully) about being taken for granted that MJ never actually has time to do much in this issue. Writer Leah Williams take a meta approach by devoting a significant portion of this issue to MJ's rant about how women are mistreated and underutilized. We see MJ grapple with all the predictable Hollywood woes - a badly underwritten part, incompetent co-stars and absentee writers. There's really not much to the first issue beyond that basic premise. Little does she know the production she's joined is being run by Mysterio. MJ has reluctantly put her relationship with Peter Parker on pause in order to jump-start her Hollywood career.
