I had to check the credits a few time. Kitson and McKones work is starting to look like Phil Jimenez. Im not complaining here. Kitson and McKone have been doing some great work in the past and Ive always enjoyed the rich textured pages filled with details and realistic renderings. But here, they are beginning to surpass their already excellent work. Morales' inks are thick enough to solidify Kitsons lines which are usually very thin. I like that. Hes also streamlining the characters visual to make them more recognizable as Spider-man characters. J. Jonas Jameson looks like himself. Aunt May looks like herself. The only character the team needs more work on is Mckone's Norman Osborn. Read Full Review

Maybe the next "tentpole" Spidey storyline will push the book into 4-bullet territory. Read Full Review
