Concluding a 3-part arc, featuring the mysterious Ezekiel! But will Spider-Man get more questions than answers?
John Romita Jr. will soon be leaving Amazing Spider-Man, and this issue could not be a better farewell. The scenes of arachnid attack he makes creepy. The scenes involving M.J.'s attempt to hit the stage he makes subtle and natural, and he instills unbelievable drama to flashbacks and summary to Spidey's life. Read Full Review
Wow. Years of setup are paying off in a conclusive and exciting arc that ties together a lot of the threads that JMS and JR Jr. have woven into their stories, whilst simultaneously being accessible and thrilling for new readers. After a quality drought around the #490-#500 mark, this title is back on top - indeed, it may not have been this good since the very start of Straczynski's run. Having said that, Amazing Spider-Man readers may start to feel that, with a new arc and art team starting in two issue's time, this finale to the Ezekiel storyline may prove as good a jumping-off point as any, leaving JMS' run on a high. But let's see what happens next issue. Read Full Review
This is an excellent comic. New readers may not get as much from it as those of us whove been reading for a while, but thats what the collected editions are for. Is this bi-weekly now? Two weeks is too long to wait. Read Full Review
As for the art as John Romtia Jr.'s run nears it's conclusion I have to say what I'm going to miss the most is his uncanny ability to project a very real sense of danger, as the invasion of the spiders is very effectively presented. Read Full Review
This spiders invasion was very epic and terrific. Plus, now there's even more sense to Spider-Man's origin... And the conclusion twist may hurt my fellings, but it's still cool.
