So far, "American Son" shows a lot of potential. Until it is completed I will withhold my final verdict, but it is on track so far. The big question is how far will Harry make it before Norman finds out about his plan? Read Full Review

The art in this issue is great. I was a little saddened by the lack of Phil Jimenez’s art when I started to read this issue, but at the same time I didn’t miss it as much as I got further into the issue. Paulo Siqueira and Amilton Santos do a really good job with this issue. I don’t know if they’ll be back on this issue of Jimenez (or someone completely different), but I’d like to see more of their work in the future. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed in the issues of Amazing Spider-Man is that the art teams really are top notch and no one is slacking off. I applaud the editorial and creative teams that put this series together. Read Full Review

One of those frustrating reads that has some great content built upon a flow of forgettablenarrative. Nevertheless, this is a issue that retains the high-interestinherentin this arc. Kelly possibly pulled-off theimpossiblefor me in the fact that I'mthoroughlyenjoying Spidey's supporting cast. I am really interested in how this arc will progress and what will transpire in the coming pages. However, Phil Jimenez'sabsence thoroughlytempers this excitement. Read Full Review

Siqueiras work felt still at times, and with tons of expressions at other places. Im not sold on his Harry Osborn depiction yet, although it resembles the design established in comic books these days. His face is not long enough and too cheeky. But I do like the Kevin Maguire influenced pages, like the one with the fake Hawkeye. They were quite fun. Siqueira draws beautiful women, but they all look alike. At first, I thought that the Invisible Woman was another hooker... Read Full Review

This issue doesn't feel like a story so much as a series of moments that are necessary to set up later developments in "American Son". It pulls off those moments adequately enough, but there isn't nearly as much for readers to get their teeth into as there was in the previous chapter. That's not to say that the storyline doesn't still have potential -- just that this issue doesn't provide any payoffs, functioning instead as a necessary middle chapter that isn't a particularly compelling read in its own right.

With Ultimate Spider-Man being canceled and Amazing Spider-Man being... well, what it is, I'm really missing the hero who was once my favorite. These days, his comic is nearly at the bottom of the list. Read Full Review
