    Once again J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr., Scott Hanna and Matt Milla make Amazing Spider-Man the best Spidey book on the racks and indeed one of the best titles in the comic book store. Read Full Review

    It's another filler issue before the title moves onto bigger things and a stronger overall story-arc, but when they're as well-executed and fun as this one is, it's difficult to complain. An enjoyable commentary on one of the sillier aspects of superheroics mixed with a simple if effective plot, it's everything a good stand-alone Spider-man tale should be. Read Full Review

    A promising idea that J. Michael Straczynski never fully realizes, as while the idea of a tailor the specializes in costume repair is a fun look behind the curtain, the simple fact of the matter is that it's not an idea that can carry an issue, and J. Michael Straczynski doesn't help matters much by padding the issue with a rather generic plot. Add to the mix a generic villain who pose zero danger to Spider-Man, and only momentarily is allowed to come across as dangerous when he's threatening the tailor, and you have an issue that is a bit of a chore to work up much interest in. Still, J. Michael Straczynski does turn in a couple gags that made me smile, with his explanation for how he can get away with sitting in a diner in his Spider-Man costume being particularly clever. On the other hand there also a couple gags that feel a bit too desperate, as the comments made by the people on the street when the web-coated villain is tossed in front of them being the most notable example of a g Read Full Review

    Cara, é uma das melhores runs que tem por ser tão doce sabe é uma história que definitivamente me lembrou porque eu gosto do homem aranha e como eu admiro ele não tenho certeza se aqui é quando ele ta na coisa do totem ou se é a leo's tailoring, de qualquer jeito eu sei amo muito e me faz sentir amado (mesmo que não faça sentido) a história é tão rendodinha, tão pé no chão eu entendo que muitas pessoas gostam de histórias malucas e alienigenas sobre o fim do mundo, até eu gosto disso as vezes, mas ver algo mais aqui na terra, com pessoas malvadas reais mas com heróis mais reais ainda é maravilhoso me lembra do quanto eu amo a humanidade também

    This cover and the description have nothing with the story inside... And yeah, that's the first appearance of Leo Zelinsky. He also appeared in the 12th part of The Other and... That's all. But it's a good character, I don't understand why they don't use him...
