Author's Summary: After Karen Page's death and Peter's divorce from Mary Jane, Matt and Peter have a one-night stand that leads to something much deeper.


Review:
As much the summary might imply, 'Red' isn't the typical happily-ever-after story. It begins with pain and, some might say, ends in pain, though that is being slowly and painstakingly taken care of in the sequel. Which is to say, it's similar to all those comic cliffhangers that make you wait until the next issue to find out what happens next.

Beginning just after the death of Karen Page, with Matt grappling with his grief and Peter nosing in whether Matt wants him to or not, the story catapults these two into a tumultuous relationship, beginning with friendship and ending it so much more. It's an intense read, heavy on the issues, and doesn't pull the punches. Their relationship and interaction through the story is ever-evolving and complicated, much like the characters themselves, with Matt being, as always, a bundle of suppressed issues and complexities while Peter is genuine and struggling to achieve balance.

The plot itself, which manages to sneak up on you when you're not looking, thickens quickly and explodes. The author doesn't give them a free pass to happiness just because they're superheroes. In fact, it's rather the opposite, which keeps the realm of realism closely at hand. Even though there are plenty of happy and rewarding moments between the two, things aren't calm or peaceful. Villians and unexpected complications rise out of the wood work in perfectly synced mayhem, forcing them to struggle, fight, and even pay for every relationship they have. I can't recommend this story enough, even if you're not one for stories involving (temporary) character death. It's worth the emotions, honestly.
