THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #14 doesn't really break any new ground in its plot, but it is still a fun and engaging read in its own right. The narrative is simple yet effective. Its art style feels heavily polished and while a lot more dramatic than your usual Spidey read, it still has time for a quip or two. The story is definitely heading straight for its climax at an impressive pace, with multiple characters crossing over with one another as Regent's plan comes to fruition. As for what that will be, you'll just need to stick around for the next issue to find out. Read Full Review
The buddy cop vibe between Peter and Tony Stark is something we're sure to get plenty of now that Mary Jane is caught in the middle. And Miles Morales being the thing to bring them together makes the most sense because Miles is awesome and everybody should want him to be their protege. This issue also doubles as a shared issue with the Avengers as we get brief cameos from pretty much every Avenger, all-new and old, as they each manage to get kidnapped. Read Full Review
It's difficult to see what the overall plan is for The Amazing Spider-Man at the moment, pinging from international adventures to more local slugfests. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 4) #14 continues to build Regent as a credible threat to Spider-Man and his supporting cast, even if it feels a bit like deja vu. Artist Giuseppe Camuncoli and colorist Marte Gracia craft a book full of recognizable but varied artwork that's fits the bill. Read Full Review
Amazing has started to grow back into the ensemble book that it tends to be at its best. What isn't as good, is the stuff involving Regent. Read Full Review
Solid but nothing special here other than dynamics between Spidey and Iron-Man. The next issue is the payoff issue, which I believe is too early and there are many ways they could've gone with Regent. It also teases the "MJ is Iron-Spider Suit Mary". Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #14 is a comic that fits well within the parameters and expectations of its storytelling influences. It reads much like an issue of Amazing Spider-Man from decades ago with an excellent grasp on tone and pacing. However, it is dated in some regards and lacks the panache of many artists who told those stories. Those aspects prevent the best elements of this issue from setting a standard for serialized, corporate superhero comics. Read Full Review
This issue was good, love the banter between Harry and Regent, Parker and MJ.
Regent character is really unstable and is a great villain so far. Good Issue.
I enjoy Regent, but this arc is moving a little too quickly (compared to the Scorpio story which was dragged out too long).
Regent is still a dull villain. His banter with Harry was pretty fun though. This entire Iron Man arc was relatively forgettable. M.J's reasoning for leaving Peter was absolutely horrible. Camuncoli continues to kill it on art.
This doesn't feel as tightly plotted and scripted as it used to be, and I've been enjoying it less.
