To face off against an amped-up Hobgoblin, you need an amped-up Spider-Man! What's the story behind Spidey's new suit? What is it and what can it do?
If you would have asked me 20 years ago if I had any interest in reading Spider-Man, I would have given you a funny look while holding up my stack of DC books. As long as Dan Slott remains on Spider-Man, and no one makes the decision to monkey with the book to force it into some big company wide event, I'm sticking with Amazing Spider-Man for the foreseeable future. Tight writing, and wonderful art, earn this issue 5 out of 5 Stars once again. Read Full Review
Three-for-three. Slott and Ramos are doing a great job on ASM. This is a fun story that is well written and moves along at a quick pace and the art is just awesome. Notice how no one is bitching about the $3.99 price tag on this book? You can charge that when the book is good. I should also note that I hate giving A's to comics and Slot and Ramos have now earned three in a row and are making me reconsider my vote for best ongoing series for 2010. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #650 was another spectacular issue. Dan Slott is delivering one wild and fun ride that all Spider-Man fans will enjoy. Slott does a great job balancing this issue with some great character interaction while building up the villain of the story in Hobgoblin. Two issues in and Slott has made Amazing Spider-Man a must read with how much fun it is. If you are looking for a comic that is just pure fun then make sure to pick up a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #650. Read Full Review
viable threat, but I'll give Slott the benefit of the doubt and run with it for the time being. Read Full Review

Overall, despite the rampant commercialism, Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos are off to a fairly strong start in their new tenure on "Amazing Spider-Man". At first blush, it lacks the feel of "Brand New Day" at its best, but that might just be down to its choice as a villain. Because let's face it. The Hobgoblin will always be lame. Read Full Review
