    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Feb 7, 2011

    As Big Time continues it has only gotten better and Amazing Spider-Man #653 is an example of that. Dan Slott, with help from Fred Van Lente, is establishing Amazing Spider-Man as one of Marvels premier titles. This is just one fun comic that no Spider-Man fan will want to miss out on. With the extra back-up story in this issue, you are getting your moneys worth in by buying this issue. I highly recommend picking up this issue because you will be sure to be smiling from beginning to end. I know I was. Read Full Review

    Great use of the Avengers backing Spidey up. I love seeing a Spidey who is a more important (and powerful) member of the Marvel Universe. Fun story and writing by the Slott/Van Lente team. ASM continues to impress! Read Full Review

    The Weekly Crisis - Ryan Schrodt Feb 8, 2011

    I really want to give this issue a Buy It verdict because I did enjoy the fastpaced action of the lead story and Stefano Casseli's artwork was really impressive, but the pacing in the lead was off at times and I simply didn't care much for the backup. Unfortunately, despite this issue having many impressive qualities, it was dragged down by these weaknesses. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher Feb 5, 2011

    While the fighty-fighty is exciting, and the battle seems larger than life, I'm really more interested in the final page conflict between Max Model and Peter Parker than if Luke Cage is going to bring the beat down to a guy dressed as a flying ant. Overall, the issue is worth a look and it is still one of the few issues I'm looking forward to on release day. The Amazing Spider-Man #653 earns 3 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
