This is a fun issue. The bumpy start of 700.1 and 700.2 are behind us. It looks like Peter just needed a couple issues to shake the cobwebs off-ahem-and get back into the swing of things. Im sorry, no more puns. If you havent been reading ASM, this is great issue to jump in on. Read Full Review
These point numbered issues, for better or worse, do successfully harken back to when Peter Parker was your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. In reality, these stories aren't doing anything to push the character, which is where Dan Slott continually finds so much success.
