Mike McKone's take on Spider-Man here has the kind of energy and enthusiasm we've seen in the past when artists such as John Romita Sr. and the late Mike Wieringo brought the character to life on the page. The one visual element in the book that didn't quite work for me was the rather ordinary look of JJJ's mayoral office; I'd expected something more opulent and official in appearance. Also disappointing is the cover art. The regular cover, by Joe Quesada, is too dark and intense in tone as compared to the lighter feel found within, and the "Wolverine Art Appreciation" variant cover has absolutely nothing to do with this story or the title character. Of course, I would imagine that's true of all the various variant covers adorning Marvel's titles this month. Read Full Review
