The return of the Green Goblin, and guest-starring the Human Torch!
Amazing Spider-Man #17 is a blast. The plot has a long thread and energy in the short term. This is an extremely funny comic, silly at some points but in the most complimentary way possible. That is what works so well with Dark Web, not taking itself seriously and just having fun with demons and superheroes. The art is so exuberant and enjoyable that it is impossible not to smile while reading this issue. Read Full Review
While this issue is a lot less silly than Green Goblin's first appearance, it's still kind of silly! At least it gives Green Goblin more of a menace to him. The love triangle is in full swing, and that's just in time for Aunt May Health Problems™. I would go more into this issue, but I desperately want to catch up!
Quote of the issue: "Spider-Man Turns Chicken!!"
(Cover Date: October, 1964)
Not that great by itself but it starts a very cool narrative for the next two issues.
