Jan 14, 2009Even as a placeholder between "event" storylines, issue #583's one-shot story ranks among the top ten issues of Amazing Spider-Man over the past year. There's character depth, plot development, a range of emotion, and enough uniquely Spidey touches to make it a perfect story to promote with the variant cover gimmick. Read Full Review

Jan 20, 2009The artwork for the Obama insert was bad. Surely, MarvelComics could have found a better artist that can capture Barack Obama. He doesnthave high cheekbones. But then again, all of Nauck's characters look the same! I felt thatBarry Kitsons part was weaker, now that Mark Farmer was assigned as his inker.If Marvel Comics could go back to the previous team that corrected theweaknesses of Kitsons work, his run on Spider-man would be priceless.

Weekly Comic Book Review - Raymond Hilario
Jan 19, 2009As for the Barack tale, Zeb Wells and Todd Nauck give you nothing but 5 pages of Spider-Man standing next to some black guy. Biggest highlight in the story? You wondering if Spidey and the awkward terrorist fist jab between him and the President is racist. Ditch this piece of shit. I'm sorry if you had to call x number of comic stores for this book, and ask your hot female friend who lives x miles away, to pick it up for you. But if you really need to see what all the hype is about, save yourself the time and money, and find it somewhere online. And for the record, I generally don't like to encourage piracy, considering it forces the publishers to raise the price on our books. However, I'm making an exception for this one. Besides, Marvel already got what they wanted with this book. Read Full Review

Just want to say - I hate political PR stories... Chameleon impersonates Obama... Okay, it wasn't really bad, but it's funny how Spidey makes fun of Biden twice and now in 2023 Biden is the president (at his finest) and everyone loves him. Interesting how our world changed since then... I guess it's why I prefer to read these old comic books over the new ones. But the main story is fine. I guess it's a bit... Well... I just don't think it's that cool, that's what I can say with my pretty limited vocabulary. But I can't blame Peter for being nice with Betty when all her friends turned away from her, because now he's nice with the man, who killed his girlfriend, crippled his school bully (temporary, but still), almost killed his wife and a more
