I also appreciated the way "Maria's Wedding" did a trick that's easily available to comics and that more of them should do somehow, which is the little "Dramatis Personae" gallery at the front of the book. The book has an enormous cast to deal with and a lot of them do look similar, but it's really easy to keep a finger on that page and flip back to it to identify who's who if you're not sure who's talking in a panel. The fact that you can do this easily is a credit to Jose Garibaldi's artwork.
